Looking up multiple printers

Hi
I would like my app to find all connected printers names and then allow the user to select any printer for printing.
In PrintServiceLookup() I only see one method getDefaultPrintService which returns the default printer. I could then use getName and provide this as a printer name.
Which class can I do to get all the printer names in the first instance, I don't see a getPrinters() method or anything like that.
Cheers

I found this web-site very helpful. It shows how to use the print dialog.

Multiple Printers off USB Hub

I run a complete variety of macs as a home network and am thinking of buying a new Airport principally so that I can use it as a server hub with the external drives I have (holding backups, photos, music etc).
I'm quite happy setting up the network (mixed wire and wireless) but am wondering if I can run multiple USB drives and multiple printers (colour and cheap laser).
If I place these in one location running a powered usb hub, will all the drive show up ? and If they are switched on, will all the printers show up as available ?
Any helpful hints, I'm looking to hide backup drives and printers leaving a minimal desktop and laptop footprint.
(PS buying new macbook soon to get the speed benefit from AE, but the network disk/printer is what interests me most)

Yes, if the drives are externally powered you may not need a powered hub.
and If they
are switched on, will all the printers show up as

Yes

Ip address for multiple printers

Can somebody please help me to get the ip addresses for multiple printers. I have got the printer names from print management - export list. I have it in a csv file but need their ip addresses too..

<#
Script to get printer names based on a CSV list of printer IPs.
Sam Boutros - 12/30/2014 - v1.0
#>
# Input:
$CSV = 'x:\sandbox\MyPrinters.csv'
# Processing:
$Printers = Import-Csv $CSV
$UpdatedPrinters = $Printers | where { $_.Name -eq $null } | Select IP , @{
Name = 'Name'
Expression = { $IP = $_.IP; (Get-Printer | where { $_.PortName -eq "IP_$IP" }).Name }
# Output:
$UpdatedPrinters | FT -Auto
$UpdatedPrinters | Out-GridView
$UpdatedPrinters | Export-Csv $CSV -NoType
Start with a CSV file that looks like:
IP
192.168.0.10
192.168.0.111
192.168.0.12
192.168.0.13
End up with updated CSV file like:
Note that you're picking up the Printer name from the Windows computer where you run this script. If the computer does not have all the printers in the CSV list, you need to run the script on several computers to get the full list populated. The script is
designed to allow that. If the printer has different names on different computer, the script will retain the first match.
You could actually add it to a logon script in a domain environment (without the out-gridview part of course), to collect all printer names - CSV path can be UNC path. Keep it for a day or so and then remove it.
Or you could run it against several computers - one at a time - using PS remoting..

How do you split the print job across multiple printers to shorten the prin

i
Can any one you provide some information on below questions.
Check printing by XML template (XML Publisher).
1. When printing checks, how do you print the checks from one printer tray and the overflow remittance pages from another printer tray?
2. When printing a large batch of checks using XML and PDF output, how do you split the print job across multiple printers to shorten the print time?
I appreciate if you could give some information on above 2 questions.
Regards,
Ramarao.

Probably sould just do them individually.

Print to multiple printers

Hi,
Could any one of you please tell me how to send the same page to multiple printers automatically ( without manual selection).

Hi,
Am calling a standard program thru func module to which am sending the printer name to options parameter of open_form thru a BAdi.
My requirement is to get the receiving printers from custom table based on condition and then send the same form (page) to all those printers. How can I do this. FYI, RQ*31 is the print program .
Thanks,

Can I use multiple printers on the current airport express??

I would like to hook up multiple (3) printers for wireless printing using AirPort Express. Would also entertain AirPort Extreme. The printers are just too far away to make cabling practical and was wondering if the current crop of AirPort devices would support multiple printers through the use of an attached USB hub. The only other thread that seems to discuss this is from 2006. The salesperson at my local AppleStore did not have the info and suggested I come to these forums and ask the community.
I am running a MacBook Pro 17" 233 GHz Core2Duo with MacOSX 10.6.8
The printers I would like to connect are 1 epson Pro7600 wide format, 1 HP DesignJet 1220c and a Brother 1440 laser printer.
Thanks
Phil

Yes....if you use a powered USB hub with its own power supply.
I use a 4 port USB powered hub from Dynex available at Best Buy. Works fine. I am sure that there are many other powered hubs that will work as well.

Elements 10 does not recognize multiple printers of same model?

In our business, we print on multiple printers, some of which are the same model.
For example, the Epson Stylus C88 is a common printer for us and we've been using PSE for years, since Version 3. For the purpose of our sample integrity (we print specialized inks to analyze their density), we wish to continue using Epson C88's for as long as we can still purchase them.
We've been making infrequent version upgrades to PSE, but are now finally caught up.
Unfortunately, when trying to print with PSE10 having more than one C88 installed, two problems occur:
1) The printer selection menu has all the printers listed, but as soon as we access the Advanced Settings, the printer choice defaults towards the most recently installed C88 (ie. we wanted to use Copy 5 and it would not allow us to choose anything but Copy 9, the latest one).
2) We're allowed to print exactly once. When I try to print a second time, a dialog box pops up saying:
"Before you can perform printer-related tasks such as page setup or printing a document, you need to install a printer."
The box pops when I hit the print command, meaning I can't do ANY printing, despite having a large number of printers installed, unless I close and reload the program.
I attempted a quick fix of this by uninstalling all my Epson C88's, and then reinstalling the particular C88 I wished to use. I was allowed to print, and continue printing, as long as that C88 was the only one that was installed. Unfortunately, when I moved to install another, the problem surfaced again. This time, I deleted my "original" C88 while keeping the second copy installed, and the problem persists. I could maintain one and only one Epson C88 installed at any time, but I'd rather not have to.
Doing a little research, I've noticed that this is not the only model of printer with this problem. I've attempted to load up an HP Officejet Pro 8000, and the exact same problem occurred, leading me to believe that it's an issue in PSE, not the printer.
The printer drivers are all current, and I have the latest version of PSE10 installed. This hasn't happened on any version previous to my knowledge (earliest known being PSE7).
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can give in this issue.

Yeah, that does seem to allow it to print. This means I should rename all the printers, which, honestly, is not that big of a deal. Not so much as uninstalling and reinstalling.
Thanks!

Printing checks to multiple printers

Based on organizations my AP checks print to different printers. I'm using one check template for all of them. How critical is it to have the actual printers to be exactly same model? Do I need to even worry about this?

Welcome to the discussions!
+Can a TC be strictly wireless?+
Yes, although in this type of setup the TC will be a wireless backup device only. If you have another Apple"n" router creating your main network, you could also configure the TC to "extend a wireless network" to provide more wireless coverage.
+Can I have more then one printer attached?+
Assuming your printer is compatible with the USB port on the TC, (not all printers are), and you use a powered USB hub, you can attach multiple printers.
+(and will a USB to parallel adapter work?+
Can't provide an answer on that one, but would be surprised if it worked.
+Multiple HDs hanging off it work? Is there a limit to the number of devices? and if so, a limit per type or just total?+
As long as you use a powered USB hub and each HD has it's own power supply, there's really no set limit on the number of devices within reason.
+And is WiFi backups still painfully slow?+
Backups will occur as quickly as your current wireless network allows.
+(and can I move a BU to the TC?)+
Not sure what you mean here. The TC is designed for Time Machine backups, but you can also store other files on the drive if you wish, providing that there is plenty of free space for Time Machine to operate correctly.

Handling Unit label (V6) - multiple printers configuration

I would like to print the handling unit label (V6) in multiple printers. Currently the condition records are set to plant/Packaging material combination with printing in one printer. I would like to have the ability to print to different printer in HU02 t-code based on userID. Can I configure it based on storage location or userid? Thank you.

Are you using WM+HUM or only IM+HUM?
In OMJ3 you can define printer by Storage Location,
in OMLV you can defin printer by WM organizational levels (storage types), movement type etc.
You can use NACE t-code to set the output type you want in addition to MDoc printout.
Can you explain your config, when are you printing your HUs at the moment?

White areas printing as orange for multiple printers.

Hi all,
Did a search and didn't find an answer, so here is the issue - I have a G5 running 10.3.9, and both an Epson R300Inkjet and a HP 3600dn laserprinter. On both printers, any area defined by the application as containing no data (and would normally be left white) is printing a sort of orange-red. Areas defined within an image as white are fine. It's as if somewhere there is a data error telling both printers to render non-data space as this solid red. I thought it was the drivers on the Epson, but I just got the HP today and it immediately did the same thing.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Actually, no, that is not the case. Yes, permissions have been checked. Have 4 Macs. 1 Intel based, the other 3 PowerPC. ALL of them have this problem. It's not anything corrupted. On one of the machines, I just instaled the printer driver from Brother. So, fresh and new.
So, my question to the group is does anyone else have multiple printers and use printer presets. If so, if you use one other than "standard" and print, then, print again (our preset will then be the default, do not pick again), does it print the second time correctly, or, does it revert to standard settings?
No, the printer has no way to set the default tray. Which is stupid as the multi function tray, where you can put a limited number of sheets, is exactly where you WOULD put forms, and, the regular tray, which holds a LOT of paper, is of course where you would put regular paper. Funny thing is, the regular tray is TRAY 2! Which is not the default.

Multiple Printers with Airport Express

Is it at all possible to hook up two printers to my airport express with a USB hub? If so, how. Thanks.

Hello Chad Jones3. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Is it at all possible to hook up two printers to my airport express with a USB hub? If so, how.
Sorry, but no. The AirPort Express Base Station's (AX) USB port will only support a single USB printer. USB hubs, let alone multiple printers are not supported.

Can you access page1 and page2.jsp correctly on their own?
ie could the problem be with page2.jsp rather than the import command?

Multiple Printers on 802.11G; Workaround?

Hi - We just moved and I'd love to setup both our printers to our older AEBS, model no. A1034: (http://support.apple.com/specs/airport/AirPortExtreme_Base_Station_nomodem.html)
Printer #1 = Epson RX620 (AIO)
Printer #2 = Samsung ML-1740
Would buying a powered USB hub work? If not what's my best bet short of buying the new AEBS - N, which supports multiple printers? I'd love to save some cash so maybe I buy the AX? Are there simpler solutions?

Just reread my question; perhaps I can clarify:
I believe that my older UFO-shaped AEBS only supports one printer via its single USB port. Can someone confirm that?
Or could I plugin a powered USB hub and add a second printer to my AEBS?
If this isn't possible, what is the best solution for extending my network to include two printers?
Thanks!

Printing delivery note output to multiple printers...

Hai team, we have a custom delivery note output which is called commercial invoice. This output is defined thru transactions VV21 & VP01shp. The output device is defaulted within these transactions. However, there's a request to send the printing immediately to multiple printers. Does anyone know how we can set so that the output gets printed immediately to multiple printers since the configs mentioned above only allow us 1 entry in the output device field?

Hi
when you are maintaining the output master, maintain the same document type for different partner functions and for each partner function, you can give a different printer in the communication screen. By this , you can trigger the print out in multiple printers for any document.
Reward points if it helps.
HI ANANDAN,
I TRIED IT, IT IS NOT WORKING, AS THE DOCUMENT TYPE IS UNIQUE IN OUTPUT MASTER. APOLOGISE FOR GIVING AN INCORRECT SOLUTION.
