GCC Elite 20/600 and Lion

Hi All
I have a venerable but fully servicable GCC Elite XL 20/600 which I really do not want to scrap.
I am attempting to connect it to my MacBook Pro (late 2011 model) using an ethernet crossover cable. I have the original .ppd file, version 3.31.
Having searched the discussion threads I found this:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/11530412#11530412
which seemed to provide an answer to my problem. However, once I have completed the steps I get the folowing message:
Unable to verify the printer on your network.
‘192.168.1.10’ may not exist or is unavailable at this time.
Would you still like to create the queue?
I have tried IPP and LPD options in Print & Scan
I have an ethernet router which I could use to make the connection ... but it seems to me that the crossover cable should work.
Does anyone have any idea what I should try next?
Cheers
Paul

I have the original CD version 3:33, but with Lion I can not open it ..
I tried to download it from the GCC (GCC-1.img PPD Installer) and there is the same problem, I can not open it (the image should be converted obsolete)
If you would be able to send me the ppd file I would be very grateful
this is my skype nik: gabri8781
or my email: [email protected]
(yuo saving my life)
ps: i open the file but its old (vise installer) in lion i cant install

Is my 10 year old GCC Elite XL 20/1200 printer still usable?

Hi:
My wife is a graphic designer, and loves her 10+ year old GCC Elite XL 20/1200 printer. Full printer specs are at http://gccprinters.com/products/201200specs.html
In the last several months (since a model year 2006 iMac crashed, which was our lifeline to it because it ran an old enough version of OSX to talk to this printer) she has not been able to use it.
Anyone have any tips on how to print from a relatively modern iMac (model year 2010, 27" 3.2GHz machine running OSX 10.6.8) to this ancient printer?
In a perfect world, the old iMac would boot up, but that hasn't happened yet...
Please let me know if you need more details.
Thanks!
Kevin

Help!!
Until Mavericks I printed from my macbook pro laptop to a HP1100c (parallel-port interface) internet connected on my old generic laptop running Ubuntu
Been doing this since Leopard and worked through OS updates since then without any problems. Now on Mavericks I get "Filter failed"
I can't remember exactly how it runs - I know at one point I was using Gutenberg and I have Gutenprint 5.2 installed in /usr/share and these libs
/usr/lib/libgutenprint.1.1.1.dylib
/usr/lib/libgutenprint.1.dylib
/usr/lib/libgutenprint.2.0.3.dylib
/usr/lib/libgutenprint.a
/usr/lib/libgutenprint.la
/usr/libexec/cups/driver/gutenprint.5.2
/usr/libexec/cups/filter/rastertogutenprint.5.2
but I also have some guten stuff under macports. I long since stopped maintaining macports and it would be a major effort for me to delve into updating it.
Anyone point me in a good direction - like everyone I need a quick fix that doesn't involve delving into how to update macports (is it even running that subsystem - I don't know). Sure I can deal with these low level things but I have a life too - I just want it to work - understanding macports etc. again is dead time.
Come to that I lost track of how to configure printing on the ubuntu half of this too. It would help enormously if I knew where it was failing - what does "Filter failed" mean. It might mean some shell script somewhere failing - if so where, what subsystem ?

GCC Elite XL 40 - Will Not Print in Snow Leopard

I am desperate I have wasted two days working with GCC tech support via phone and email and have followed their instructions for setting up my GCC Elite XL 40 as an IP printer for our MacPro running Mac OS 10.6.5. I have checked and double and triple checked the many settings on both the printer and my MacPro - ALL are correct (according to the instructions provided) but the printer will not Print. It is recognized by the computer — got a green light on my print queue — says its ready to print but nothing happens.
I have redone this so many times I - added, deleted and re-added the printer several times - I am just on the verge of giving up but I need this large format laser printer to work with this computer — it's our workhorse for big projects.
There was a Posting here from someone named Rocky dated a few months ago and that information conformed to what I have been instructed to do by GCC but it still does not work. All other Macs on our network are printing to the GCC Elite XL 40 just fine as usual. This is the only workstation we upgraded to Snow Leopard plus this computer is hard wired via Ethernet not Airport.
If there is anyone out there that has made this work please send me some info or direct me to an expert. Thank you.

Looking at the specifications for this printer it shows that the unit support Postscript Level 2, which indicates it's quite an old model. This could be causing problems with Snow Leopard.
The specs also show the printer supports PCL5e and PCL6. So did the GCC techs get you to try creating a printer queue using the Generic PCL Laser Printer? If not it would be worth a try. Make a new print queue using IP > LPD for the protocol, not sure if you need a queue name so leave this blank, and select Generic PCL Laser in the Print Using menu. This Generic driver gives you no options and probably no support for the larger paper sizes but it will let you see if you can get a print job from your Mac to the printer.

GCC Elite 21n+ Printer Stop working after Upgrade to Snow Leopard

GCC Elite 21n+ B&W Laser Printer no longer works after upgrading to Snow Leopard 10.6.2.
A back-up HP 2015DN Printer works intermittently. It will not work with ethernet cable connected to Net Gear Ethernet Hub (model FS105). But will work most of the time when ethernet cable is connected directly to back of computer.
Back to GCC printer. Just cannot get it to work.
But I cannot figure out what the IP address is for the GCC printer. Tried 192.168.1.4:9300
See post (discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10127869). Still did not work.
GCC tech have this work around. Here is what I received from GCC via email.
+At 01/02/2010 12:21 AM we wrote -+
+Since Apple has made the decision to eliminate Appletalk from it's Operating System, you are now forced to set the printer up over TCP/IP. Please keep in mind that GCC has never provided drivers for the Mac. We use the Apple Built in Print Driver. We do provide an OS X PPD Installer located on our website that I recommend you download, unstuff, install, reboot your Mac, then add the printer. You can find the Installer at http://www.gccprinters.com/support/doc/ Click on the Model of your printer and download the OS X Installer. DO NOT download the Applications Folder.+
+You will need to set the printer up over TCP/IP, which means you will need to pull the IP Address of the printer from the Printers Configuration Page. Once you've done that, please do the following:+
+You can add the printer over IP, that should work fine. Here are some steps for you to take.+
+1) Select 'System Preferences...' (4th item) from the 'Apple' menu. The 'System Preference' panel will appear as a new window.+
+2) Click on 'Print & Fax' icon (second row 'Hardware', second icon from right side). The 'System Preferences' panel will change into the 'Print & Fax' panel without opening a new window.+
+3) Click on the '+' button to add a printer (2/3 the way down on the left side on the 'Print & Fax' panel). The 'Add Printer' dialog will open in a new window.+
+4) Select the 'IP' icon in the top row of the 'Add Printer' dialog.+
+5) Next to 'Protocol' select LPD Line Printer Daemon.+
+6) Next to 'Address' type in the IP address you assigned to the printer. The Mac should prompt "complete and valid address".+
+7) (Optionally) Next to 'Name' set the name of the printer to something friendlier. Normally it defaults to the IP address enter in the previous step. The 'Name' is what the printer is called in the print dialog.+
+8) (Optionally) Next to 'Print Using' change/verify the PPD.+
+9) Click 'Add' in the bottom right corner. After a few moments the 'Add Printer' dialog will close.+
+10) The printer added in the previous step will appear in the list on the left side of the 'Print & Fax' panel. Click on the close box in the left-top of the 'Print & Fax' panel.+
+11) Done. You should be ready to print.+
Still cannot get the GCC printer to work or discover its IP address. Printer's Configuration page says
TCP/IP: Enabled IP address: Unknown subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
When I download the Drivers from GCC Web Site I only get a Text Document with loads of meaningless
gibberish. There is nothing to unstuff and install.
All worked well with OS 10.5.
Thanks for shedding any light.
John L.
Thanks,
John

Hello John,
At this stage you will not be able to get this to print until the printer has a valid IP address. According to your post, the IP address setting is enabled but the actual IP address is unknown. This is most likely a result of the GCC being set to DHCP but if there is no DHCP server or router capable of assigning the printer an IP address, then it will not get a valid address.
So, the first thing I recommend is you check the documentation for manually setting an IP address into the printer. This address needs to be in the same subnet as your Mac. If you check System Preferences > Network on the Mac, you will see your IP address and subnet mask. If the subnet mask is set to 255.255.255.0, then you subnet will be the first three sets of numbers. For example, a device with an IP address of 192.168.1.12 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 has a subnet of 19.2.168.1 and a network address of 12. Ideally, so that other devices can communicate with this device, they also need a subnet of 192.168.1 but a different network address, any number between 1 and 250 but one that is not already being used by another device, such as 12 in this example.
Once you have the IP address set in the printer, then you add the printer as the GCC tech stated, using IP > LPD for the protocol. Note that you will only need to enter the IP address, such as 192.168.1.4 as per your post example. Don't enter any other numbers, such as the 9300 port reference you have tried already the colon after the IP address followed by the 9300).
For the Print Using, you can use Generic PostScript to begin with as a test. If you then wanted to use the GCC PPD, then the link is okay. When you select the 21+n the next page shows the 21+ installer for OS 9 and OS X. This is a stuffit packed file so you will need some form of Stuffit (Stuffit Expander is a free download) to unpack the file first. Once unpacked, there is most likely an installer that you run. This will copy the PPD files for the printer to the appropriate folder.
Hope this helps. Please reply if you require more help.

No problem at all with extending the life of your toner!! Have you tried the advanced options in the printer preferences? Try checking here:
1.Open Printers and Faxes
2.Right-click the icon for the printer you are using, and then click Printing Preferences.
3.Click Advanced, and under Graphic, click Print Quality.
4.Click the resolution option you want.
Let me know if this is what you are looking for. Good luck!

How to print a HTML file in browser look using DocPrintJob

Hello guys,
Does anyone know how to print HTML output/file into browser look?
I'm using DocPrintJob and the DocFlavor set to DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.AUTOSENSE.
posted below is my code :
public class BasicPrint {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            // Open the image file
            String testData = "C:/new_page_1.html";
            InputStream is = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(testData));
            DocFlavor flavor = DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.AUTOSENSE;
            // Find the default service
            PrintService service = PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();
            System.out.println(service);
            // Create the print job
            DocPrintJob job = service.createPrintJob();
            Doc doc= new SimpleDoc(is, flavor, null);
            // Monitor print job events; for the implementation of PrintJobWatcher,
            // see e702 Determining When a Print Job Has Finished
            PrintJobWatcher pjDone = new PrintJobWatcher(job);
            // Print it
            job.print(doc, null);
            // Wait for the print job to be done
            pjDone.waitForDone();
            // It is now safe to close the input stream
            is.close();
        } catch (PrintException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
    static class PrintJobWatcher {
        // true iff it is safe to close the print job's input stream
        boolean done = false;
        PrintJobWatcher(DocPrintJob job) {
            // Add a listener to the print job
            job.addPrintJobListener(new PrintJobAdapter() {
                public void printJobCanceled(PrintJobEvent pje) {
                    allDone();
                public void printJobCompleted(PrintJobEvent pje) {
                    allDone();
                public void printJobFailed(PrintJobEvent pje) {
                    allDone();
                public void printJobNoMoreEvents(PrintJobEvent pje) {
                    allDone();
                void allDone() {
                    synchronized (PrintJobWatcher.this) {
                        done = true;
                        PrintJobWatcher.this.notify();
        public synchronized void waitForDone() {
            try {
                while (!done) {
                    wait();
            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
}the printed ouput for this code will be look like this
<html>
<body>
<div style="page-break-after:'always';
            background-color:#EEEEEE;
            width:400;
            height:70">
     testPrint</div>
ABCDEFGHIJK<p>
</p>
</body>
</html>however, the output that i want is the HTML in browser look not HTML code itself.
i've tried to change the DocFlavor into any TEXT_HTML type but it gives error:
sun.print.PrintJobFlavorException: invalid flavor if you guys has any idea or solution, can you share with me... already search in Google but still not found any solution
Thanks in advanced.

How to print the script in condensed mode

Hi to all,
Pls help me.
How to print the script in condensed mode and particular window only print in the condensed mode.

Hi,
Hi
It will remove the blank spaces in front of the variable
and if you use the extension NO-GAPS
It will remove all the blank spaces in the variable field.
DATA: ws_val1 type char12.
ws_val1 = ' 100 123'.
Condense ws_val1.
Write / ws_val1.
Condense ws_val1 no-gaps.
write / ws_val1.
It will give output as
100 123
100123
The CONDENSE statement deletes redundant spaces from a string:
CONDENSE c NO-GAPS.
This statement removes any leading blanks in the field c and replaces other sequences of blanks by exactly one blank. The result is a left-justified sequence of words, each separated by one blank. If the addition NO-GAPS is specified, all blanks are removed.
Please check this link for sample code.

How to print page numbers in adobe form

Hi,
Can anybody tell me how to print page numbers in adobe form.
Thanks in advance
Chaitanya

Hi,
Yes the field page n of m is used normally for printing page numbers. But it won't display the current page of total pages by itself. You have to set the run time property to n (current page ) and m (Total number of pages). Carefully select the # (current page ) and ## (Total number of pages). Hope this works for you.
My requirement is to have the user control on current page. For Example:
Example for a Invoice with 5 PO items (stands on 2 pages) :
1st page is the letter : no page number
2nd page is the 1st page of the 1st copy of the invoice : we should read u201C1 / 2u201D
3rd page is the 2nd page of the 1st copy of the invoice : we should read u201C2 / 2u201D
4th page is the 1st page of the 2nd copy of the invoice : we should read u201C1 / 2u201D
5th page is the 2nd page of the 2nd copy of the invoice : we should read u201C2 / 2u201D
Presently i cam getting the current page number for page 4th as 3 / 2 and for 5th page 4 / 2. I could able to control the total number of pages from print program. But when i am printing the second copy (4th and 5th pages), I couldn't able to control the current page number. I need to initialize the Current page count (4th page ) as 1.
I have used the follwing java scripting:
this.rawValue = wv_pages - xfa.layout.page(this)
where wv_pages is total no of pages calculated from print program.
Please help me in this regard with some formcal or java scripting conditions.
Thank You,

Naresh.
