Icon still in dock when print job has finished

I am printing successfully to a Brother HL2700 Color Laser over a network. Can do this with Bonjour and also IP Printing. When my print job finishes the generic printer icon stays in the dock with the active triangle underneath it. This is not mission critical, but it is VERY annoying! I didn't need to install any drivers from the Brother site as the printer was automatically added. Could this be a driver issue?
Any ideas on a fix - short of resetting the print setup. I'm not sure this would resolve it, and I don't want to lose the other correctly configured printers - all of which demonstrate the same behaviour.
My MacBook Pro is brand new and has demonstrated this from the day the printers were first added.
Similar reports from Googling the net (some frome way back in 10.3), but couldn't find a fix or an explanation.
Thanks for any input...
MacBook Pro 15" Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Printer icon not in dock when printing

Since upgrading to Moutain Lion my printer icon had disappeared from the dock during printing. Previously it would show in dock when I was printing, Now nothing. Still able to print without issue and can see queue by going into System preferences. Do not see a place to make it appea again? Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance

I should have mentioned that I already tried removing then adding the printer with no success. I see the printer under system preferences and it is printing normally. Just have no icon appearing in dock when in process of actually printing a page. So since I attach to it wirelessly, I am always concerned it is not printing when I want to. So it means I have to open up System preferences>Printer Queue to make sure it is printing. Would love to get the automatic icon in the dock back in place

Printer Icon not in dock when printing - cannot access queue

Suddenly no printer icon is in the dock when printing.
In case of an error, I cannot access the problem.
I cannot access the queue.
What's more: the printer just printed an image - but not the image that I commanded to print.
It was the image that I printed a week ago - he just printed it again.
I cannot find the printer utility in "scan and print".
How can I make the printer utility appear?

Problem solved.
Suddenly the button "printer cue" was there - which was absent until now.
I dragged the print queue window to the dock, and to make sure it stays there I added it through "keep in dock" to the dock.
There was no option to remove this thread.

How do you identify when a report has finished?

Hi all,
I've got a big report that is taking a while to run (approx 1min) and the problem I'm having is that my users are getting bored of waiting and starting to click around my web application and re-running the report because they think it has failed. The re-running of the report is causing more load on the system and the reports to run even slower. What I would like to do is stop them re-runnning the report maybe by somehow locking the web page until BI publisher has finished but I don't know how to get a message back from BI publisher.
Currently I'm running the BI publisher report by having a button push which redirects the users web browser to a url such as:
'http://'||:BI_PATH||'/xmlpserver'||:BI_DIRECTORY||'/Custom Reports/'||:p180_report||'/'||:p180_report||'.xdo?_xpf=&_xpt=1&_xdo='||:BI_DIRECTORY||'%2FCustom%20Reports%2F'||:p180_report||'%2F'||:p180_report||'.xdo&_xt='||:p90_template||'&_xf=rtf&_xmode=4'
And then as I'm returning an rtf doc the familiar save, open or cancel popup comes up. The problem is that before the popup appears they can re-click the run report button.
One way round it I've thought of is to have the report generate to a file system and redirect the user to a waiting page that checks periodically for the files existance and then when it does exist forward the user to a page with a view report button. This sounds like a lot of effort, does anybody know of a better way?
I've also wondered if running the report using webservices would be an option, is there a way of getting BI publisher to run a web service when a report has finished? This could then interact with my back end server and the web page could act on that, or am I totally barking up the wrong tree?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Darren.

Hi Darren
couple of ideas
1. Rather than 'run' the report, get it to run through the scheduler immediately. Once its running through the scheduler you could then poll the scheduler tables to see when it completes. You could either redirect the users to a wait page or show an egg timer until the document has been created. this would require the document to be delivered to somewhere for you to poll as the URL will not return a job id.
2. Bit more involved but probably better is to hook into BIPs web services. So rather than the button issue an http request it calls a servlet to issue a web service call to BIP to schedule a report. The WS will return the job id to the caller, you can then poll the scheduler via a ws to check the progress of the job. Once complete you can then retrieve the result form the scheduler tables via another call.
Food for thought I hope

Knowing when a page has finished loading

Hi all,
I've produced a small project that has a few tabs, each tab contains an IFrame UI, which loads a BW report.
I've been asked to add an indicator that should tell when the reports are finished loading.
I have two problems:
1. How do I know when the frame has finished loading the url? I know I can use the OnLoad tag in html, but how can I edit the HTML WebDynpro produce?
2. What kind of indicator can I use? I thought of two options - Putting the "Progress Clock" which WebDynpro uses when calling an RFC, and for that I need to know if it's even possible to call that clock.
The 2nd option I thought of is using the ProgressIndicator UI, and just divide the 100% to the number of tabs, and change the percent value when each tab has finished loading the URL.
I appreciate any help that you could provide.
Yaniv

Armin Reichert -> I've tried what you suggested about the portal integration (I send parameter to an URL Iview, which changes the url), and it works great!
Thanks.
Noufal Kareem -> Because I use an IFrame UI which loads a BW report, I don't have an indication (The WD don't know / care if the page inside the frame was loaded.)

Custom icon lost from dock when clicked.

Hello.
I'm currently running OS 10.6.1 on 15" MBP w/ 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB RAM. I experienced this same issue in Leopard, but was hoping Snow Leopard would fix it. I thought it did, but it just happened again.
I keep several documents in the dock that I use very frequently (three MS Excel workbooks, 1 FM Pro database). For some reason, when I click on any of the Excel docs, the custom icon I have assigned to it is lost. Even when I reveal in Finder, the icon has just been removed, and the standard Excel icon shows.
The funny thing is that the custom icons, when replaced, seem to last for several clicks, then for some reason, they just go away when the doc is clicked.
Has anyone experienced this issue? Any help would be awesome.

Hi eye sean,
The program icons on your Dock (App Store, System Preferences) are alias links (shortcuts) and not the programs themselves. You can't delete them by removing them from the Dock. Now, if somehow they were accidentally removed from the /Applications folder then that's a bigger issue. I take it neither of the programs or in that folder?
If that's the case there's two things I'm aware of worth trying:
Run a repair Disk Permissions from the installation disc that came with your computer
Reinstall the Operating System via the installation disc
If System Preferences (the application) is completely gone, then it's option #2. If it's corrupted the disk permissions may resolved it. I'd say you could make a new user to see if a preference pane that's specific to your current user is causing problems, but without System Preferences access that's not really a valid option.

When a Job has a Chain, the next run date can be skipped

I have read more than once in this forum that if a job is still running when the next run date arrives, the job is internally queued and runs as soon as the previous run is finished. The following code was posted to demonstrate :
begin
dbms_scheduler.create_job('j1',
job_type=>'plsql_block', job_action=>'dbms_Lock.sleep(70);',
repeat_interval=>'freq=minutely;bysecond=0',enabled=>true);
end;
/On both 10.2.0.4 and 11.2.0.1, the job starts every 70 seconds. Fine.
Now, if I create a job using a PROGRAM and a CHAIN, then the job skips every other run date, so it runs every two minutes. Here is my test case:begin
dbms_scheduler.create_program (
   program_name => 'P1',
   program_type => 'PLSQL_BLOCK',
   program_action => 'DBMS_LOCK.SLEEP(70);',
   enabled=>true);
dbms_scheduler.create_chain (chain_name => 'C1');
dbms_scheduler.define_chain_step('C1', 'STEP1', 'P1');
dbms_scheduler.define_chain_rule ('C1', 'TRUE', 'START STEP1');
dbms_scheduler.define_chain_rule ('C1', 'STEP1 COMPLETED', 'END STEP1.ERROR_CODE');
dbms_scheduler.enable('C1');
dbms_scheduler.create_job (
   job_name => 'J1',
   job_type => 'CHAIN',
   job_action => 'C1',
   repeat_interval => 'freq=minutely;bysecond=0',enabled=>true);
end;
/Is this a bug? I need the chain because my real job has two steps, so is there anything I can do to get the "non-skipping" behavior with a chain? Thanks in advance,
Stew Ashton

Replying to myself :)
While walking to my car, I realized that my "chain" logic could be replaced by an anonymous block with two lines in it!
I guess I outsmarted myself by trying to use all the appropriate features of the Scheduler instead of doing things more simply, but I still think the behavior I observed is incoherent.
I am leaving this question "unanswered" since I won't be able to test my simpler approach until Monday.

Attachment icon does not show when printing sent email message

I recently sent an e-mail with 11 attachments. When I printed that e-mail message, it did not show the 11 attachment icons in the body of message as has previously. Any suggestions?

Error code 0x803C010B when printing wirelessly: Has anyone found a solution yet?

I read all of the Microsoft forums regarding this issue but no one seemed to find a reliable solution. When there was a solution for one person, then it didn't work for someone else.
I called MS tech support, and they told me that they have received many calls about this error. The tech said that only MS could fix it and she charged me $100, with a 100% guarantee that it would be fixed. She evaded each time I asked her what
was the root cause of the error.
MS tech noticed three corrupted files from a Windows update, then started searching for viruses and malware, of which she found several, even though I had Norton protection. Then she tried to sell me a different anti-virus program, for more money,
which I declined until they could tell me the root cause of the problem.
Unfortunately I had an appointment so I left the tech working on my computer remotely. When I returned the problem was still not fixed. Printer still shows as offline or even turned off, when it is neither of these things, and I receive the above-referenced
error code when I try to troubleshoot.
I have a follow-up call with a MS tech today. I will post updates to this. It seems that they do not know how to fix it, either.

I'm having the same issue but with HP Photosmart 7525 and HP LaserJet P1102W. Both worked fine until earlier this week when I "shut down and updated" my computer. I keep deleting the printers from my computer and reinstalling them;
they work temporarily then tell me they are "offline" when, clearly, they are not.

Photosmart 7520e: no signal when print job finished

I previously used a Photosmart 7510 printer. At the end of a print job, the printer emitted a small "jingle." This was helpful in letting me know when the print job was completed. I now have the 7520e model (follow-up model), and it doesn't emit that "jingle" anymore. Is there any way that I can configure the printer to emit an accoustic signal when a print job is completed?
Thanks for any help!

Hello @booth6262
Welcome to the HP Community,
I have checked through the printers menu and cannot see where a setting could be changed to prompt the printer to make a noise when a print job is completed. However, you can try turning the sound effects volume up on the printer to see if that will help.
That would be my best advice for you. If the printer does not make the jingle, it doesn't have the feature built in.
Select Setup, Preferences, Sound Effects Volume, change to Soft, Medium, Loud or Off.
Have a wonderful day

Sending Userid when printing job from SAP

Is there a way to send a userid when printing from SAP? In order to control printing costs we are requiring user codes to be input to the printer before a job will print. The windows operating system is capable of sending the codes needed to the printer., Can the SAP application send a user codes ?

I don't think so directly unless you use LOCL and capture the Windows user ID, though I'm no printer expert. You may need to generate reports in SAP but then you're never guaranteed that the spool that was released to Windows was actually output. We have Equitrac boxes on all of our shared corporate printers. When the print comes out directly from SAP, the only identification as to where the print came from, other than the name of the Windows print queue, is the generic underlying SAP system user (not the SAP user ID). We can't track the cost unless the user actually logs into the box to use the printer/copier.
For our high volume color and black/white printers in our data center, we chargeback the print costs based on the Windows queue that the print came from. As you probably know, you can have many SAP print queues/devices that point to the same physical printer. We name all of our queues such that the using company/department/application is easily identified and our operators track the costs in that manner.

Print file deletes before print job is finished

I have been trying to print a file about 119 pages it has some color graphics and some photos within the text from adobe it printed about 25 pages good then it stopped and deleted the file I have tried to print 1 page at a time some print and some just print the first few lines of text then a blank page comes out and then it prints the same text on another page and the file is deleted no error messages of any kind I have tried shutting down the printer and restarting it . I have also done the print and scan dr from HP and it found nothing the text page printed fine. If I open the printer box I can see it spool the file it starts to print and the above happens and then I see it deleting the file. I am also printing wireless from my home network. I hope this give you enough information. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi @ssward4,
Do large print jobs from other programs produce the same result? What happens when you print a smaller job from Adobe? I understand you have already run the HP Print and Scan Doctor but the issue remains, and you have checked the spooler.

Print jobs not finishing

More often than not, when I try to print a document, the printer does not finish the print job. Usually I can get the document printed, if I print one page at a time!! thanks for your help

Hello @LMM2,
I understand that you're experiencing issues when printing from your Windows 8.1 computer to your HP Officejet 6815 e-All-in-One Printer. I had previously worked with you on February 12th and we resolved this issue. I'm assuming that that the issue returned?
If the Microsoft HotFix is no longer allowing you to print multi-page print jobs can I please have you follow the steps below to manually add your printer on the TCP/IP network port, rather than the WSD port as the WSD port tends to be what causing the multi-page print issue.
Step 1: Clear the Temp Files:
Open your Start screen by selecting the Windows button on the bottom left of your computer, or by selecting the Windows key on the bottom left of your keyboard, to the right of the Ctrl button
When the Start screen opens type Run
Click on Run to launch the Run box
In the Run box type %temp% and select OK
When the Temp folder opens, select Ctrl + A at the same time on your keyboard.Everything in this folder will now highlight.
Select the 'delete' button on your keyboard. The Temp folder contains temporary internet files. No actual files or folders on your computer will be affected by deleting the Temp files. Should a Temp file still be used than you will automatically get the pop up to 'skip' that item.
Close the Temp folder once it is emptied
Right click the Recycling Bin on your desktop and select Empty Recycling Bin
Step 2: Download Driver:
Please click here to download your driver. Once the website opens select the Download button. Once the download is complete, if the install window opens please close it.
Step 3: Gather IP Address:
On the front panel of your printer please gather the IP Address.
On the printer control panel touch Setup
Touch Reports
Touch Network Configuration Report
When the Network Configuration Report opens please locate the IP Address. Keep this IP Address handy as we will need it for the next step.
Step 4: Add Printer Manually:
1. Open your Start screen by selecting the Windows icon on the bottom left of your Computer screen or by selecting the Windows key on the bottom left of your keyboard, to the right of the Ctrl button
2. Type Run in the Start Screen. Click Run to launch the Run dialogue box.
3. In the Run box type %temp% and select OK
4. When the Temp folder opens, locate the 7z... folder. It will not show the same 7z number sequence as the one in the image below.
5. Click on this folder once to open it. Make sure it show OJ6810 files in it.
6. Once the correct 7z folder is opened, please copy the file path at the top. Left click once on the right side of the file path bar. Everything will now highlight in the file path. Right click and Copy the file path. Close the window
7. Reopen your Start screen and type Devices and Printers. Click on Devices and Printers to open it.
8. Click on Add a Printer at the top. Select Add a Local Printer. (The picture below may look slightly different than your computer as my PC is Windows 7)
9. Select 'Create a New Port' and select the Standard TCP/IP Port.
10. Select 'Next' and then type in your printers IP Address that we gathered from the Network Configuration Report. Select Next again.
11. If you're brought to a list of manufacturers and printers, select the Have Disk button on the bottom right.
12. In the file path bar right click and paste in the file path we just copied. Select OK.
13. Select your HP Officejet. Select Next.
Now that your printer is added in you should be able to test printing. There will be 2 copies of your printer under Devices and Printers. The printer we just added should be your default. The older version of your printer will just stay there. If we delete the older copy of your printer than you will no longer be able to use your Printer Assistant Software or Scan. The older version will not interfere with printing.
Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. Good luck!

How can I tell when a JEditorPane has finished loading the document?

Hi!,
I've got a JEditorPane connected to a viewport and a couple of scrollbars, and I realy need to know when the JEditorPane has completed loading the document, so that I can decide whether to turn on or off the scrollbars.
When I try to check the viewport.getView().getWIdth() right after calling setText() or setPage() the values come out wrong... is there an eventHandler that I can register ?
thanks in advance
-Miguel

OK, I'm not an expert. But, why set the scrollbars manually? Would it not be easier to put the JEditPane in a JScrollPane with the scroll policy set to "as needed"?

2 icons appear at dock when opening FireFox

When I open FirFox version 4.01b, 2 icons appears on my dock! When i close one of them, a message of flash crashing appear, then it reopening the icon by itself again.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== After installing FireFox directly

That usually means that Windows notices that the program isn't responding.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
