Laserjet 1020 Poor Print Quality printer unused for long time

My Laserjet 1020 sat unused for a long time
I ran cleaner sheets through it
I changed the toner cartridge
I cleaned the inside with a vacuum and air duster (it was not dirty though)
I still get this. Consistently. No change in quality.
What could I have missed?
Thanks

43,
Ink has a limited life span. It is sad, I know. The ink in the printer may just be "old" beyond it's actual age.
I have an old J6480 that I use only occasionally -- it is such a good printer that I keep it in spite of the fact that I might have to change out the cartridges more frequently than when the unit actually runs out of ink.
You might change out the cartridges so you are not coating the insides of the printer with the old ink.
If you are not going to use the printer very often, it does seem to help to keep it stored in a cabinet: dark and enclosed where there is not an abundance of light, dust, dampness, or temperature differences. I keep the J6480 in a cabinet on the other side of the house and use it wirelessly about every six months.
You may have to re-run the cleaning operation a couple of times after you do change the ink; change out the cartridges, test, and then decide.
Click the Kudos Star!
It is a nice way to say “Thank You” for the help.
Although I strive to reflect HP's best practices, I do not work for HP.

Wait step in quality is waiting for long time

hi friends
I have transported the workflow to quality. Am using a wait step in my workflow. Its waiting in that step for long time nearly 1 hour still its not cross the step. The workflow works fine in my developement. But in quality its not moving to the next step. i comparted the wait step in quality and developement. In developement wait step in outcomes tab green light is glowing in Actvie mode. but in quality green light is visible but in blured vision. even i have checked the configuration in swu3 in development and quality. Both have same configuration. What could be the problem that its not crossing the wait step. Plz help me

Condition for wait step fulfilled               No errors
Result Processing                               No errors

How to enable a printer which was offline for long time?

Hi,
One of our printers has not been used for a long time and was set to be permanently offline. Due to the need of printing, the printer was enabled. It is powered on (and can also be disabled and enabled) but is unable to print.
Is there anything in SAP to check to see why it is failing to print?
I have tried to check the status of this printer with other printer which is working fine. There is no difference in between their settings.
The spool requests are waiting to be printed. I would like to check the ip addresses of the printers. Is it possible to find them through SAP. My O/S is Unix.
Please help me to find the IP addresses of printers attached through SAP and I will try to check them first.
Thanks
Vijay

Hi Vijay,
Check SPAD -> output devices
Check thats the printer is properly setup and it been handled by and active spool server, check that the printer ip-address is correct and the right method is in place.
You can find the ip address of the printer by doing a ping <name of the printer> in a command prompt.

How come when I try to print from my iPad for example Tim Horton's WiFi to mu home Airprint printer it does not work.

How come when I try to print from my iPad for example Tim Horton's WiFi to mu home Airprint printer it does not work.

The Airprint printer must be on the same local network (LAN) for Airprint to work. You cannot print to your home printer using the WiFi at Tim Horton's.

Will SAP remain as market leader for long time?

Hi
I have just started Masters of Business ERP SAP at victoria University. But my background is
accounting and have intermediate knowledge of software industry . From my understanding
there is always something new replacing existing market in software industry. I just want to
know about the sustainability of SAP career . will it sustain in the market for long time?
Regards
Shafiq

Hello, I can assure you that you will not suffer from hunger or anything like that... there are thousands of companies running SAP accross the globe. And if, and that will not happen, somebody would threaten SAP, understand how much money depends on SAP systems. It would take years to get rid of the vendor (SAP) lock-in for all those companies.
Ok, that was the practical approach. On the other hand I do believe in quality and sustainability of what we do here and feel no fear about my future. Even if some kind of a problem appear, SAP would teach you so much about business processes and how companies are runned, that you could immediately switch to some kind of management/ analyst job. t least that is how I feel about it.
Hope that helps a little, I wanted to offer something in return for your answer to my question earlier,
maybe you would like to talk some more one day?
Cheers Otto

Report running for long time & performance tuning

Hi All,
(1). WebI report is running for long time.so what are the steps i need to check for it ?
(2). Can you tell me about performance tuning in BO ?
please help me.....
Thanks
Kumar

(1). WebI report is running for long time.so what are the steps i need to check for it ?
The first step is to see if the problem lies in the query on the data source or in webi itself. Depending on the data source there are different ways to extract the query and try to run it against the database. Which source does your report uses?
(2). Can you tell me about performance tuning in BO ?
I would recommend to start by reading the administrator's guide. There is a section about how to improve performance.

ABAP process job ( BI_PROCESS_ABAP ) in process chain running for long time

Dear Experts,
We have an ABAP process job BI_PROCESS_ABAP in a process chain. This job is running for a very long time than previous run time.
Recently we had an ORACLE database upgrade from 9.2 to 10g.
From the very next day , we are having this problem.
And also previously this process-chain was under control of BASIS guys . they were using a tool called CRONACLE to schedule it. At the time of upgrade this tool was crashed and they asked us to schedule it in BW system instead.
Underlying program is using two custom tables.
one is having both primary & secondary indexes but the other table is having only primary index.
I am not sure whether we have secondary indexes on other table prior to upgrade or not.
Where must be the problem?...
At the time of upgrade BASIS has re-organized the table space along with database upgrade.
please help me...
Regards,
SRIKANTH

Please ask yr basis consultant to check the system parms.
Below i have listed down SAP recommneded system parms .
abap/heap_area_total 4000000000
abap/heap_area_dia 2000000000
abap/heap_area_nondia 2000000000
Also check in SM37 if any other jobs are running for long time, peventing the your job running.
Check the SM12 for locks or SM58

Workflow trf executing for longer time

Hi All,
Workflow trfc executing for longer time in transaction SM58. Why will this happen ? Is there any resolution available ? Please advise on this issue. Below are the details :
Caller: WF-BATCH
Function Module: SWW_WI_EXECUTE_INTERNAL_RFC
Status Text: Transaction Executing
Program: SAPMSSY1
Kind Regards
Shiva

Hi,
Check if WF-BATCH user is not locked or the pwd changed. The same as the process started, see the event trace if you are triggering any wflow from this. And CLick on the event and see the "REceiver Data" and "Trace Data" if any errors are there.
Sometimes, if this user got locked for some reason, it results in issues like you mentioned.
Hope this helps

Custom web parts in SharePoint 2013 becomes inactive when the session is idle for long time.

Hi,
We have a search center site with custom web parts and custom master pages. When the session is inactive for long time all the custom web parts in the page doesn't work, unless we close the browser and open it. Where as this is not the case with the
OOB web parts. We are not able to identify the root cause as it works with OOB web parts and not the custom web parts.We were able to find that by increasing the session timeout of the web application we can avoid this issue.We do not want to increase the
session timeout as the OOB web part works perfectly even when the user session is idle for long time.Is there any other alternative where we can acheive the same for custom web parts when the session is idle for long time?
Thanks,
Saranya

Hi Saranya,
According to your descirption, my understanding is that when the session is long time idle ,then custom web part will not work.
I suggest you check if you have enable the session in the Page Level in the web.config. By default SharePoint disable the session state.
In the web.config, you will see <page enableSessionState> tag. You can modify like below and test if it works.
<pages enableSessionState=”true” ….. />
Here is a detailed thread for your reference:
Use Session State in SharePoint

How to stop process chain if it yellow for long time

hello all,
I see that my process chain is running for long time and is yellow for more than last 24 hours now. I can see where the chain is stuck(not going ahead).
What do we normally do in such scenarios?
Also one more question I have is about delete PSA request process variant. Can i use the same variant in two different process chains, is yes than do I have to include the name of the PSA tables that are in both the process chains. When the variant runs in 1st chain does it delete the PSA tables from the second chain as well..(i hope i made this clear)
Thanks in advance

Once you have done with your init load manually. Then in case it was just the start of the process in ur Process Chain then first remove the chain from schedule and then go to the start process of the process chain and save the setting for immediate, uncheck the periodic box and save and then come out of the screen and then execute and activate the chain.
Note:
1. Before changing the setting in the start process make a note of the start time and also its periodic value.
2. Once the chain is completed then change the setting in the start process back to previous start time and periodic value.
3. Dont forget to save and activate the chain.

Cldg switch command hangs for long time

Hello Experts ,
We have renamed the veritas volumes vol1 and vol2 of disk group "dg", which is under cluster control.
The renaming of volumes are successfully completed and modification updated in Cluster CCR (cldg sync dg) and volumes are mounted successfully in node002.
We have switch over the disk group "dg" from node002 to node004. The disk group switch over to the node node004 successfully and able to mount the volumes.
Again, we have switch over the disk group "dg" from node004 to node002, but the switch command is not successful and hanged for long time. When we check the /var/adm/messages in node002, the below messages appeared

But what is device mtp0? It doesn't sound like a disk name. It is having SCSI problems. I don't know if these messages are relevant though.
I don't use VxVM as a rule, but your procedure seems reasonable to me.
