HP 4250TN Drivers on Windows Server 2008 Print Server

Hi:
I'm having a heck of a time with HP 4250 printers installed on a Windows Server 2008 printer server.  First I used the PCL6 driver downloaded from HP site.  But then after client computers install printer they cannot print from Acrobat in landscape orientation.  Also, whenever I select Printer Properties on the server Windows responds that the print drivers are not installed,  asking if I want to install them.  My client machines are a mix of XP, W7 32-bit and W7 64-bit.  I switched to the PCL5 driver on the server, which fixed the Acrobat landscape issue, but now none of my XP clients can install the network printer, even  when browsing to the PCL 5 driver for XP as downloaded from HP's site (I have not had success installing the x86 drivers on my 64-bit printer server).
I can install the 4250 on an XP machine w/direct TCP/IP port using PCL 5e driver but then I  defeat purpose of print server.
Any suggestions on easiest driver/print server installation/cfg. is greatly appreciated!

It appears that you have a commercial LaserJet in an enterprise enviornment.  It would be best to post in the commercial LaserJet forums.

  • When I try to print using Windows 2008 print server I have to use the generic print drivers supplied. If I use the OEM driver the printer locks up. I have tried a HP 4 plus and a Canon Copier.

    When I try to print using Windows 2008 print server I have to use the generic print drivers supplied. If I use the OEM driver the printer locks up. I have tried a HP 4 plus and a Canon Copier.

    A number of vendor drivers written for OS X cannot be used when connecting via SMB to a printer that is shared by Windows. This is due to limitations of the driver.
    In some cases, if you were to enable the LPD Print Service in Windows, you can connect to the share using the same syntax as SMB but on the Mac you would use the LPD as the protocol.
    If you can reply with the brand and model of printer you have then we may be able to provide more information.

  • How to install printer in windows 7 from print server without downloading the driver access denied

  • Server 2012 Print Server and DNS CNAME - setspn advice

    Hi,
    I am building a new Server 2012 Print server. What I would like to do is utilise a DNS CNAME when I deploy the printer, rather than its host name.
    I have used 'setspn' to accomplish this, running the following command:
    setspn -A HOST/<ALIAS> <hostname>
    Now when I browse the alias I can see the installed printer. The problem I have is when I then deploy this via Group Policy it uses the servers host name instead, but it does work. If I manually edit
    the GPO to reflect the alias name instead it does not deploy the printer. Moreover the indication on the 2012 server has gone so it does not see that it has any printers deployed.
    When I browse the computers host name and try to manually install the printer it will state that it is downloading the drivers but never seems to complete. If I browse it's alias and try the same
    thing I receive an error stating that it couldn't connect to the printer. The client machine in this instance is Windows 7 SP1 x64.
    What am I doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Howard

    I've been struggling with the same problem, for a Windows 2012 R2 print server.
    I've added SPN entries and registry tweaks (OptionalHostnames, DisableStrictNameChecking, DnsOnWire etc.), but still couldn't connect printers using the alias, even though I could browse shares on the server, using the alias.
    While not explicitly covering 2012 R2, this KB article helped me:
    KB2546625.
    Adding the alias to the local hosts file solved it for me.
    Now, I wanted to be sure that I wasn't applying a bunch of unnecessary tweaks, so I went ahead and removed all registry tweaks (including DnsOnWire mentioned in the KB article), the SPN entry for the alias and rebooted - it still works!
    In my case, maybe on Windows Server 2012 R2 in general, all that was needed was to add the alias in the local hosts file.

  • Server 2008 Fax Server console doesn't show outgoing faxes

    We are sending faxes from Windows XP clients through our Server 2008 Fax Server. Most of the faxes are sent, however the Server Fax Console never shows any faxes as being sent. The Fax Console does show the Incoming faxes that have been received. What can I do to get a log of the outbound faxes so we know they were sent successfully?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the post.
    Please perform the following steps to check it:
    Open Fax Service Manager.
    In the left pane, right-click Fax, and then click Properties.
        3.  On the Archives tab, please check the "Archive all faxes to this folder" item, and the sent faxes will be stored in this folder.
    In addition, you could also use the following method enable activity logging for a fax server.
    Open Fax Service Manager.
    In the left pane, right-click Fax, and then click Properties.
    On the Activity Logging tab, select the Log incoming fax activity check box to start logging incoming faxes and the
    Log outgoing fax activity check box to start logging outgoing faxes.
    You should receive an alert that the Fax service needs to be stopped and then restarted. If you do not, then right-click
    Fax, click Stop, right-click Fax again, and then click
    Start.
    Thanks,
    Miles
    This is not a fix for this issue.  I would hardly call this a workaround.  We have admins that need to address fax sending issues when the faxes don't go through.  Seeing the global outbox and sent items is a must for us.  It needs to be
    available from the fax console so the admin (secretary types, not IT admins) can review the issues.

  • Difference between SQL SERVER 2008 & SQL SERVER 2012 & SQL SERVER 2014

    Difference between SQL SERVER 2008 & SQL SERVER 2012 & SQL SERVER 2014 ?

    What sort of databases do you have OLTP? Data warehouse? What requirements do you have for High Availability?
    The main features for SQL 2012/2014, as I see it:
    o  Support for window functions, which makes it possible to write fast queries for running totals, sliding windows etc.
    o  Columnstore indexes, which can speed up your data warehouse enormously. But of no interest for OLTP. Only writable in SQL 2014.
    o  AlwaysOn and Availability Groups, a vastly improve story for high availability and disaster recovery.
    o  try_convert/try_cast, you can now easily filter out values from a column which does not convert to a number. A small but essential feature.
    o  In memory-OLTP, a new in-memory engine in SQL 2014. This far with very limited feature set, and quite specialised.
    Of the points above, the second and third require Enterprise Edition, the first and fourth are in all editions. For the last, I don't think Microsoft has announced anything yet.
    There are also new stuff in the BI area, but that's out of my league.
    And, oh, there is a new licensing model - which I think is holding more than one customer back.

  • Partial printing only from Adobe Reader via Server 2008 print spooler

    Hi there,
    We've recently set up a new print server for our school. It's running Windows Server 2008 (not R2) 32 bit. We have 8 printers, which are all HP LaserJet P2035n.
    All printing works fine, except for PDF files from Adobe Reader. PDF files from Adobe Reader go through the print server with no visible errors, however they print strangely.
    Often there will be a blank page at the start. Generally they will not print all pages (e.g. 4/10 or so) and they will cause the printer to error.
    We do not get this problem using other PDF readers or with the Google Chrome PDF plugin.
    Could you please provide some troubleshooting steps? Based on elimination, it seems to be something to do with the way Adobe Reader communicates with either the print server or the printer, causing some type of malformed request.
    Thanks,
    Andrew

  • Trying to zip / compress a file in Windows Server 2008 & SQL Server 2008 R2 server

    Hi,
    We are trying to zip / compress a xml file that has been created by retrieving data from SQL Server 2008 R2 database running on Windows Server 2008.
    To compress this file, we cannot use any external softwares like 7-zip or WinZip.
    So, we would like to know if there is any windows default compression tool that works on command line to compress the file?
    As this is a live server we cannot apply any other softwares.
    Please suggest any ways to do it in Windows Server 2008 machine.
    Thanks & Regards

    Hi Shanif,
    Yes, we can do this.
    Regarding how to enable Bitlocker via group policy, the following article can be referred to as reference.

    http://blogs.technet.com/b/askcore/archive/2010/02/16/cannot-save-recovery-information-for-bitlocker-in-windows-7.aspx
    After configuring the settings, we can use security filtering or WMI filtering to apply the policy to specific computers.

  • ECC 6/MS Windows Server 2008/SQL Server 2008 Upgrade

    I am working with a client who wishes to do an ECC upgrade from ECC 5 to ECC 6.  They also wish to upgrade the Op System from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008; and the database from MS SQL 2005 to MS SQL 2008.
    My proposal is to Upgrade ECC, then the Op System then the DB in each environment before moving forward.  We would do the first upgrade in Sandbox to determine timing, issues, etc.  We would create a production support path to be used during the project, then start the upgrades Dev-QA-Prod.
    The client has said that this is a risky approach and that SAP recommends a 2 step process, that is, upgrade ECC 6 thru all environments and then go back and do the Op Sys and Db upgrades afterward.
    In my mind my approach is less risky as we will ensure each environment is clean and functioning smoothly before moving forward; there is less intrusion to the end user; testing is only accomplished once in each environment.  The actual production build would be split over 2 weekends, app upgrade first then op sys and db.
    The assistance I need to understand isu2026.does SAP have a recommendation in this case?  I have not seen anything that says not to do the single step process I am recommending.
    Thanks for any support you can provide.

    Hi,
    If SAP is recomending that is because They recomends not to "mix" upgrades with any other process like Heterogeneous system copies, DB upgrades, etc. In fact this is in the upgrade guides. But I think like some others here has already writen, that you could upgrade and change OS and SQL server in two different steps but in the same process so the downtime will be longer but it will be only one.
    Of course this will depend on how long your upgrade downtime will take because usually the upgrade could take 7 hours more or less, post upgrade tasks, export task (R3load), change OS and SQL server if not using different HW, import task and post copy tasks.
    What is the maximun downtime your client is ready to tolerate? If you have a whole weekend beginning from friday afternoon and ending Monday morning probably you will have enough time to do all in one weekend but again, it will depend on your tests. Why don´t you talk to your client and tell them if they have new HW already for this project to do a Prod copy in one of those servers as part of the whole project and take the times you will need. Then with that in perspective you could decide what approach is better.
    With some upgrades done under my belt to different clients I don´t assure anything until I do a test upgrade including all changes (os or DB) necesary to finish time schedules, then with that in mind then we can redefine the way we will use and we make that clear before the beginning of the project. I always tell them that it is better to do a test like this if they don´t have much available downtime, the project will take longer but for sure the Production downtime will be shorter.

  • Cannot install Office 2010 on Windows Server 2008 terminal server

    Hello
    I have a Windows 2008 terminal server which has Office 2007 Professional Plus on it. We want to upgrade it to Office 2010 Professional Plus.
    Following steps from Technet, I made sure all users were out of the terminal server, then selected "Install Application on Terminal Server", then ran the setup.exe file for Office 2010.
    The splash screen comes up for Office 2010 but then disappears and the install does not progress, although the setup.exe is still running in Task Manager. The "install Application on Terminal Server" window is still open, waiting for me to click
    Next, Finish or Cancel and nothing else happens.
    I also tried putting the server into install mode from command prompt and rebooting the server and re-attempting but no good.
    How can I go about troubleshooting this issue?
    Many thanks
    Luke Dunster

    Hi Luke,
    Are you  using a volume license version of Office 2010 for Remote Desktop Services/Terminal
    Services? I may be wrong but I think that only this version of Office 2010 will work on a Terminal
    Server. The Retail Version will just not work in this case.
    I had similar problem where I tried to upgrade from Office 2007 to Office 2010 on a Terminal Server (Windows
    2008) but wasn't successful with the upgrade/installation.
    Also take a look at this post:

  • Crystal Report server 2008 Printing

    Hi,
    When a report is displayed on the screen (preview), I click on the Printer Icon, a Crystal Viewer message box is displayed, indicating that it needs to export to PDF first and use the printer from Adobe reader to print.
    Is this new in Crystal Report server 2008?

    Using [Fiddler|http://www.fiddlertool.com/fiddler/] on the client web browser machine will give you a clearer idea of what's amiss on the server.
    It's a starting point for tracing back to what's missing or being denied on the server.
    Following that, [Process Monitor|http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx] on the server is useful for hunting for missing components or permissions issues.
    Sincerely,

  • WPSM54G windows 7 instal print server

    i am trying to instal the print server WPSM54G but i am having problems.  i ran and installed the print server without [much] of a hitch, but now when i try to instal the computer, it refuses to cooperate. i have windows 7 64-bit and a canon mp500 printer. i turned off my firewalls. i tried pressing the reset button to get a ip print page (nothing happens). i installed the print server utility using the program compatability work around, but now when i try to instal the print server, i get to step one, and it cannot find the print server. it just serches for a while, and then stops with no reults. i cannot find the ip address so i can manually install it from windows (again, the reset button bit does not do anything). i've tried typing in various ip's in the browser to try and find the setup page to no avail. i just dont know what to do......

    Linksys has put the new driver on its support web site already.
    It supports all Windows OS(WinXP/Vista/7), no matter what it is 32-bit or 64-bit . 
    I suggest you to download WPSM54G new driver and upgrade your device to F/W 1019 . 
    http://www.linksysbycisco.com/US/en/support/WPSM54G/download
    "Select Hardware Version"  ==> Version 1.0
    On Win 7, run "setup.exe" in "Utility" folder.
    If you install it by click "Set up Computer" button on Wizard, you will get one error message and can't install it.
