How to print with HP Jetdirect 175g Print Server

I am using an old "Snow" Airport base station, which works perfectly well with my MacBook's AirPort card under Snow Leopard. Currently an HP Jetdirect 175g Print Server is plugged into the Airport base station. However, when I press the print server's configuration button, a page is printed out that merely indicates a subnet of 255. But otherwise does not offer an IP address, for use in setting up an Snow Leopard IP printer.
HP is of absolutely no help here. The print server was originally set up under Tiger, however since upgrading to Snow Leopard it no longer works. I am at a loss as to how to make this connection work that once did under TIger. There is no driver installer listed on HPs site for OS X.
How do I get this setup working again under Snow Leopard?

Hi there,
It's been years since I've worked with a JetDirect print server but at that time I used HP's Web Jetadmin application on Windows 9x. Checking the HP web site there doesn't appear to be a Mac version - still only Windows versions.
Looking at the HP web site, there appears to be a way to reset the print server and configure the network settings via telnet. Have a look at this document.

How to upgrade (with clean install) a OEL4 server to OL5 on a live system

My problem is that I cannot find any meaningful information on how to perform a OL upgrade on a live system with a running database.
The system is running OEL 4.9 (migrated from RHEL 4 to OEL) and I want to upgrade it to OL 5.7 (wanted to use 6.1 but that is not yet certified for 11.2)
I know that using Anaconda's upgrade is not supported so I guess I will have to use a clean install. (the system is full of legacy rpm's and old drivers that where needed in previous 4.x releases and dependencies that I wouldn't want to upgrade).
So I want to do a clean install of 5.7 on the server, but what is the process? There are 3 LVs running 1 for the OS (with partitions for /, /boot, /tmp, /usr, /var and /home )
1 for the Oracle software / data files and 1 for exports / archive logs and such.
If I do a clean install on the OS LV (after taking a backup of everything) will I be able to reuse the existing setup of Oracle software on the 2nd logical volume? create the oracle user with the same uid/gid, running root.sh, etc.. Will it start and be able to mount/open the database ? (I am assuming the need to rebuild the installation) There is also a home for 11.2 middleware web-tier utilities (for APEX).
I have been searching in vain for some guides / insight into what the correct procedures are for upgrading the OEL4 to OL5 (or OL6 if it gets certified in the next few months).
Any help appreciated.

My problem is that I cannot find any meaningful information on how to perform a OL upgrade on a live system with a running database.Firstly, it is good to know your system is running satisfactorily.
After taking a full backup (and checking that the backup is good!), you must shutdown the RDBMS instances.
1) Reboot from the distribution media.
2) Choose a full install; you do not want to upgrade.
3) Be very careful to click on the checkbox to "use custom setup" so that you will get a display of the current storage setup.
4) In the Anaconda Disk Druid screen, edit the displayed LVMs to use their old mount points.
5) Make absolutely certain that the checkbox to reformat the LVMs for your database setup are clear, not checked.
6) Do install the default RPM package selection; the OL distro is configured to install the necessary prerequisites for an RDBMS setup.
7) After the installation completes, be sure to install the "oracle-validated" RPM package to do the necessary tuning.
8) Add back all the user accounts.
9) Move on to bringing up the RDBMS.
Looks scary, and is, but can be done. Practice installing this way before doing it for real -- you do want to be familiar with each installation step and to realize where you are along the process.

How to authenticate with UTL_SMTP to smtp-msa server

Hi all,
I'm trying to create a package which send html mails.
This package use utl_smtp package to send mails and it works fine with a standard smtp server like smtp.orange.fr (I'm in France). Now I would like to use another smtp server (smtp-msa.orange.fr) but this one needs an authentication. How can I do this with my Oracle package ?
My database where stored package is a 11g database.
Thank you.
Sis2b.

I saw something like:
utl_smtp.command(l_connection, 'AUTH LOGIN');
utl_smtp.command(l_connection, utl_encode.base64_encode(utl_raw.cast_to_raw('mymaillogin')));
utl_smtp.command(l_connection, utl_encode.base64_encode(utl_raw.cast_to_raw('mypassword')));
But when I try to use it, I have that error:
begin
ERREUR Ó la ligne 1 :
ORA-20000: send_html_email:ORA-20000: html_email:ORA-29279: erreur permanente
SMTP : 535 5.7.0 Error: authentication failed: authentication failure

I don't know why ...
An idea please ?

How to Communicate with Programs running on AIX server Using LabVIEW.

We have an IBM AIX server on which some programs are running which basically perform some scientific calculations. I am required to send the inputs to the calculation from a VI on windows system and get back the results on the VI. I do not have any idea on how to do this.
But i heard that there is a tool ( not developed in LabVIEW) developed by my customer which can communicate with the AIX server thro Java Classes.
So i tried exploring APPLETVIEW which supports java and LabVIEW but i am confused.
Is there any way to achive this interfacing between AIX and LABVIEW?.
Thanks
Vilas G

Hi Vilas,
How you may communicate with you AIX server may very greatly depending on what is running on your server. Here is a link to another thread where Java calls and AppletView were discussed. It contains a link to the company that makes AppletView, so it may have some good information for you.
Also, if your customer suggested you use AppletView and they developed it, they would probably be your best bet for explaining it to you.
Hope this helps!

Using HP Jetdirect 300X print server with OS 10.4 Ethernet/Airport?

I am trying to speed up my connection to my older HP 5MP Postscript printer by switching to an HP Jetdirect 300X print server. I was previously printing through a Farralon ethernet-to-Localtalk adapter, but this can be very slow and I found that printing from a PC to this printer over its parallel port was about 20 times faster (it would sometimes take up to 50 minutes to print one document over the ethernet-to-Localtalk adapter). HP claims that this Jetdirect 300X print server will be even faster than printing from a PC and I will still be able to use Postscript from the Macs.
BUT, HP does not give adequate info how to set up this print server with a Mac network, despite recommending it. The info I have found so far seems to require being a PC systems and network administrator to understand it. (very high-techese) Does anyone have experience setting this up with OS 10.4? I do still have one old Mac running OS 9 that I can set up in a pinch if I have to, but I would prefer to be able to get rid of OS 9 completely. I also have one computer with Windows XP Home Edition if I can use that to set up the server and then operate it with Macs.
The newer Macs are iMac G5, Powerbook G4, and G4 DA Tower. I do not currently have a router, except for an Airport Express. My various computers are linked together with an 8-port ethernet hub, with the Airport Express serving as a bridge to the Airport-equipped Macs.

I'm not familiar with the JetDirect, but I can tell you that I have an HP Laserjet 4m at work set up to receive print jobs from both our Macs and PCs.
We have it hooked up to a Windows 2000 PC which is sharing the printer. The same concept would apply to XP. Just install the printer and then share the printer. Keep the share name short (something like HP5 or so - OSX does not seem to like long shared printer names). As long as you have at least OSX 10.3 you can use the Printer Setup Utility to to Add a printer. Select Windows shared printers. Locate the Windows XP printer on the network and have the Mac connect to it. You'll see the shared printer in the list. Select the driver and add the printer.
You'll need to have file sharing established on the XP computer, or at least the printer sharing and you will want to use the account that the computer logs in to. You'll also need a printer driver on the Mac side. HP does not have this. However, there are several drivers available for HP printers under CUPS (Common Unix Printing System). Do a Google search for "Gutenprint" and you'll get the website for the drivers. You'll want to have that installed before adding the printer in OSX.
BTW, it won't work with OS9, unless you have DAVE or some other Win/Mac application that allows communication between PCs and Macs.
It's a small amount of work, but the drivers are free which I imagine is probably a lot cheaper than the JetDirect.

How to print double sided with macbook pro on Samsung CLX-3180?

Hi,
I recently switched to using a macbook pro but cannot figure out how to print double sided/two-sided.
The printer I am using is Samsung CLX-3180 and it allows double-sided printing. I was able to do this with my windows computer previously.
The frustrating thing is that I see the two-sided feature but I cannot figure out how to turn it on. There is no option to change it.
It is listed here.
First, I go to "show presets."
Then, I click on "copies & pages" but I cannot turn it on.
Does anyone know how to turn it on?
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi nat.the.musical,
If you are having issues selecting two-sided printing from the Print window, you may find the following article helpful (it is aimed at Mountain Lion, but should also apply to Mavericks):

How to print to Canon irC5051 with Print Server?

[edit] I am using 10.7.5 not 10.6.8 sorry [\edit]
My company recently upgraded to Canon Image Runner C5051 units.
They added print servers with authentication for follow me printing (print at any machine around the building by authenticating).
I have read tons of discussions, forums and google articles on how to get image runners to print with os x - yet to no avail.
I have downloaded both the recent drivers from canon (the PS and URII) updates.
I can only seem to connect to the printer using the "Windows" domain feature in the add printer settings.
The Windows URL is \\printARL\ARLC-Secure.
I can ping the \\printARL and retrieve the IP address. But I cannot do the same with the full path (\\printARL\ARLC-Secure)
Trying to LDP print to the printARL ip does not work. I have no way of figuring out the full path ip address of the print server.
On my windows computer it shows "null" in the port/ip address on the PORTs tab.
So with URII I cannot identify the LDP ip address to use so if I connect via the windows domain it keeps returning error -50.
I guess this makes sense because its not LDP.
Using the windows search to connect and applying the Canon 5051 PS driver it seems to function.
It connects, allows to me authenticate, moves the file to the print server, and shows up at the printer.
But when I print, it does nothing. No output. ...sometimes it even makes the sound like it is printing, but then no dice.
If I try and Generic PS or PCL driver, it sends the document.
But when I print, it seems to produce a paper format error (thinks it LGL)
So if you force the printer to print to LTR, it spits out reems of giberish.
There must be something I am missing.

Sorry for missing your post. I don't check the 10.6 forums too often.
Reading your post it sounds like your are using uniFLOW, which is the follow-me printing app. So if you want to continue using this with the Mac there are a few things to note.
1. The Mac UFR2 driver wants to communicate directly with the copier. With print jobs being routed via the Windows print server (uniFLOW secure input queue) there is no chance of there being two-way communication and this often causes the -50 error you mention.
The solution is to use the Canon PPD, but this would require the ADV C50xx to have the optional Postscript kit. And given the gibberish output you mention it would seem that this kit was not purchased. So I would be talking to the Canon rep. If they had scoped your business correctly and saw the Mac/s then the PS kit should have been ordered.
2. You cannot ping the printer queue on the Windows server. So pinging \\printARL\ARLC-Secure won't work as you have found. But you can ping the Windows server, which you did and this worked. And, your issue is not due to an inability to connect to the Windows queue. It is a driver issue.
3. Using the PS driver appears to work. Lets you authentice but does not print. This is due to the lack of the Postscript kit in the copier.
4. Re the Generic PS, no PS kit means no printing. And the same goes for PCL.
So, in summary. The UFR2 driver is not designed to print via a Windows server. For your setup, the Postscript kit in the copier would solve your issue.

Sharing Linksys Wireless Print Server with MAC and PC - How to do?

I have lost the capability to share a printer on my network by using the Linksys Wireless Print Server-model number WPS54G -V2. Prior to having to return my previous Print Server on an RMA, I was able to use the MAC and PCs on my network. I have a PowerGook G4 with MacOS X 10.4.10. I also have a Airport Extreme Base Station V5.6. The printer on the network that is being shared is an Epson Stylus Photo 820. Recently, when trying to reconfigure the network, I updated the software on the Airport Extreme...so I think after that, I am no longer able to share this printer using current network configuration. As information, I will share how I got the network to share the printer BEFORE I had to replace the previous Print Server and BEFORE I updated the Airport Extreme. Please see this link:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050406151311940
Even though this was for a different type of Print Server, this worked for me.
When reconfiguring the new Print Server, I contacted Linksys...as had some difficulty until I found out how to assign a static IP to the new Print Server. When trying to talk to them about the Mac issue, and sharing the printer, they shared this link with me...which may be helpful to some, but I found that this does not work for me...
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060404021600193
I have been trying to work through the issue, but feel I may now have some compatibility issues between the Airport Extreme and the Epson printer.
Further details are that I use 10.0.1.78 for the assigned IP address for the Print server. My router (which is the Airport address) is 10.0.1.1. I have tried IPP printing option, LPD printing option...and IPP printing at least returns a status on the Print Server as "printing" as opposed to "idle". I have checked the Print status on the Mac, and I have received two (2) different error messages as to why the print job failed. They are:
"the process "picwpstops" stopped unexpectedly with status 1"
and
"the process "rastertoprinter" stopped unexpectedly with status 1"
The latter happens when I follow the instructions on the second link I attached on this topic...with the only change being that I select IPP printing as opposed to LPD printing.
Anyone that has any insight into HOW to configure the mysterious settings for Mac OS printing so that it can be compatible with a Wireless Print Server, please feel free to comment. In the meantime, I am thinking that the links above could help some people...just not me at this point given my current configuration and versions of software/firmware and perhaps the printer I am using.
Greatly appreciate your consideration, and any suggestions to anyone that might understand what these error messages mean when checking the printer status after sending a file for printing.
Thank you

1. No, you don't have to make a bootable clone.
2. If you use the drive for a bootable backup, then you cannot use the drive for other types of storage unless you partition the drive and make more than one volume.
3. No, it will not try to boot the computer. You must designate the startup volume using Startup Disk preferences.
If you wish to use the drive on both a Mac and a PC, then either you make two partitions - one for Mac and the other for the PC or you must format the entire drive using FAT32 so the drive can be used for read//write by both operating systems. If you do this then you cannot use the drive for a bootable backup nor can you use it with Time Machine.
FAT32 is slower for read/write on the Mac than using Mac formatting.
Optimally, I would suggest you partition the drive into two volumes. One volume formatted for the Mac and the other formatted FAT32.
You can send files from a PC to a Mac and vice-versa using File Sharing. Select Mac Help from the Finder's Help menu and search for "file sharing" or "sharing" to find help articles. Also see,

How to print envelopes with correct orientation?

Hi all,
This one has been driving me mad and, despite many searches for help, just can't find a solution. As someone who knows their way around most IT related problems it is also very frustrating!
The problem: How to print a DL envelope using Pages (or Word come to think about it) so that the text is positioned on the envelope where you would expect it to be.
Printer: Epson Stylus Photo R800 - although I would guess this happens to any printer.
Tried: I have selected the DL Envelope setting in page setup (11x22cm)and selected landscape. The envelope is positioned in the printer so that the smaller side goes in first (too wide to go in the same way a page of A4 would go). If I select print then the address details are printed at 90° to the envelope. If I choose portrait then the whole thing is messed up with the text flowing down the page (which is now shown as 11x22).
Strangely, if I do this in Word but go to Print Preview first then print it is fine.
Best option for me is to use Address Book though and click on the 'Orientation' tab, select the landscape option and everything is OK. Pain to have to use this each time I an envelope though.
I have tried everything in pages including leaving the page set to 11x22 and trying to rotate the text but this is messy and have not found an easy way to rotate text in Pages as yet!
Has anyone a solution to this or am I simply missing something that is glaringly obvious?!!
Thanks all, Mike

It's really easy and it's perfectly described in the Help in the chapter entitled: *Flipping and Rotating Objects*
Create a Text Box (which is an object).
Type what you want in it.
Metrics Inspector > use the rotate button or enter directly 90 in the Angle field.
We may also do that without the Inspector.
Select the Text Box Put the cursor on the top_right handle
Press Shift + cmd while we drag the handle to rotate once of 45°
Repeat the process 45° + 45° will give a 90° rotation.

How to print from iPhone 3GS with OS 4.2.1?

Hello,
I have searched and read through the discussion forums, but I'm not sure I understand how to print from my iPhone.
In reading the manual for the iPhone 3GS, specifically on page 44, it says the following:
AirPrint uses your Wi-Fi network to send print jobs wirelessly to your printer. iPhone must be connected to the same wireless network as the AirPrint printer.
My HP printer (Officejet Pro L7555) is plugged into my Airport Express so that I can do wireless printing. (I am also using an Airport Extreme for the WiFi network in my house).
When I have, for example, an email on my iPhone that I am reading, if I tap the "reply" button, I do see the "Print" option appear. When I tap on "Print", it brings up a screen where it says, "Select Printer". I then tap on that, and it will then say, "Looking for Printers".
The final outcome is "No Printers Found".
Since I am following the instructions on wireless printing as found on page 44 of the iPhone 3GS handbook (with OS 4.2.1 software), I'm not sure what it is that I'm doing wrong. I can print wirelessly with my iMac and my MacBook Pro to my HP printer just fine. Everything in my home is on the same network (my iPhone, iMac, iTouch, and MacBook Pro) that the printer is on.
I'm sure I'm missing a big chunk of the puzzle somewhere that the manual is missing. Can someone please let me know what additional steps I must take in order to print from my iPhone 3GS while I am at home on my own network?
Thank you very much.

From one Andy to another Andy (LOL):
Okay, thank you for the information. I even searched the Store web page before asking my question, and somehow missed this.
Well, I'm not about to go and buy ANOTHER Apple toy just to print from my iPhone. For now, I think I can stick to the old-fashioned way and just forward it to myself so that I can print it from the iMac. I just got Apple TV a few days ago, so I'll have to wait a little bit for the next toy.
Thank you very much for the prompt answer.

How to print on HP Laserjet 6P/jetdirect 170x?

I am trying to print on my recently acquired HP Laserjet 6P via an hp jetdirect 170x external print server on ethernet, OSX 10.7.5. , Gutenprint v5.2.3
Self tests for both printer and print server are ok, but when I try to print I get the msg "The printer may not exist or is unavailable at this time." Followed by "The printer is not responding." or I get "Connecting to printer." followed by "The printer is not responding."

OK, now the printer works
I reset the router and checked if DHPC is running.
I reset the printer (hold down the GO button, turn the printer on and continue to hold the GO button for five to ten seconds).
Checked at router that the printer is visible as network device.
At the router I assigned a fixed IP address to the printer.
At OS X System Preferences > Printer I added a new printer with "HP Jetdirect - Socket", the fixed IP address and the correct printer driver "HP LaserJet 2200".
Now the printer has been recognized well by the system (Tray 3, Duplex and printer RAM) and printing works.
THANKS.
