Manage number of print outs + summary of printing

Hi All,
I am a small business owner and I have HP printers in my office. The printers are connected to one desktop which has wireless connection and all other PCs need to print their documents via this printer. I want to setup a system so that each user can print ONLY after entering their PIN so that I can know how many pages each user has pritned at the end of the week.
Also I want to limit the number of pages each user can print in a week.
Thank you in advance
Shyam

Hey Shyam,
The feature you are mentioning is only offered on certain HP printer models. What HP printers do you have so that I can best assist?

Lightroom 2.6 Print Manager Will Not Print

I am running Windows XP, LR 2.6, and printing to a HP z3100 Designjet printer, using HP Print manager.
Problem:
I send a print to the LR Print Manager, then I can watch the print file appear in the the Windows Print Manager screen, then the file just vanishes.
The print never arrives at the printer.
Tests I Successfully Tried - to see if it is either the printer or the HP Print Manager:
I can print the same photo in Photoshop PS4 and it will print; and I can open the Windows Print Manager screen and send a test print to the printer and it works.
> Concluding that it is not the printer, the HP Print Manager, or the Windows Print Manager - and it prints in Photoshop.
So this is strictly a LR 2.6 bugaboo.
Solutions I tried:
Deleted and reinstalled the HP Print Drivers and Print Manager -- did not work.
Changed photos, and sizes, "application managed printing", "printer managed printing" == Nada!
I am out of ideas. This is the first time I've tried to print since I loaded the 2.6 update.
Any solutions???

Well, after updating fingerprint manager pro it is now launching and working flawlessly, not sure why, or what simply updating the software changed in terms of permissions/accessability but it works, so im happy.
Feel kinda silly not doing the obvious first but thank you for the help, much appreciated.

Number of Prints Bug

Using CS5 to process and print photos at a live event I noticed that even though you can specify a number of prints in the print dialog it only ever prints one copy. I tried this several times using both an action that printed and opening a file from Bridge and printing. When I finally gave up and opened a file and just hit Ctrl-P twice to print two copies (leaving the print number at 3 since it was ignoring it anyway) I got six copies! Not only broken but unpredictable. At least CS5 doesn't crash when printing from an action or print negatives like CS4 did but this bug is going to be seriously painful as customers requesting multiple copies of a print occurs about 50% of the time at my events and as I run a complete processing macro, making additional copies means re-opening the file from bridge and printing. Sometimes group shots require 12 or more copies!

As mentioned in the other topics about this same issue: this is a problem with the Windows interface between the new Vista/Win7 printing APIs, and older drivers designed for the older printing APIs.
We are investigating the problem, but don't have an ETA on a fix because we need to work with Microsoft to figure out the whole problem.

In PS C6 I'm getting a warning that "No color management" setting for printer isn't supported. Why?

I'm using Photoshop Extended CS6. I'm printing to either an Epson Stylus Pro 9900 or an Epson SP4900. In the print dialog, I get a warning I haven't seen in a long time. It says the setting "No Color Management" at the printer is not supported. This is patently false. I am given a link to download the Adobe Color Print Utility (which gives abominable results; I know this from repeated uses in the past), and a service note saying this issue is for Photoshop CS5. Clearly there is a problem, possibly a bug.
I have never had CS5 installed on this machine. I do have PS CS5.5 and PS CS6 on this machine (I have used all versions of CS in various suites from the start of the product line).
Can anyone explain this annoying intrusion on my workflow? Of course "no printer management on printer/Photoshop manages color" works... There must be an explanation.
Thanks.

An excellent question, and worthy, in fact of an essay, if not a chapter in a book on color management and proofing issues. And as you suggested earlier, it's a philosophical question (not strictly conceptual to my way of thinking).
It's also a question I can't answer, in terms of practicality and a personal sense of efficacy in dealing with a monolithic process (producing a print). That is, I can't answer for you, or anyone else I'd venture to say.
Stepping back for the briefest of moments, we should remember we live, on computers, in a virtual world. Whatever we see is a simulation, or if you prefer a simulacrum. Plato would probably say, not much better than the play of shadows on the cave wall from the flickering flames.
It's called soft proofing for a reason. The only hard proof is a print. I am old enough to remember the days when producing a color print from a chrome (requiring an internegative) or even directly from negative images, was an art, best left to skilled technicians in a lab. And even then it was an iterative process. Making an image ready for accurate color rendition in lithographic reproduction was the same things, maybe times ten. And required sometimes a whole team of skilled technicians, the last of them being the press operator. You can't appreciate the full impact of these facts of life back then unless you have been "on press" in some plant, invariably in the hinterlands, looking at actual press proofs under 6500K calibrated proofing lights, comparing them against the original chrome, the separation proofs used to make the plates. You had to understand not only the physics (and biology) of RGB imaging, but the intricacies of subtractive technology, aka CMYK. As in so much else in life, less is more, and so you had to understand that sometimes the least adjustment was the best (because you were also dealing with the physical constraints of layers of ink on paper), so if an image looked too green on the press sheet, it might be best to throttle up on the magenta just a touch, rather than cut back on the yellow and cyan. You balanced one against the other, because of the possible effects on other parts of the image.
This long-winded, probably tiresome if not boring, anecdote is meant to be illustrative of the analogous situation in which we find ourselves printing images with digital technology, combined with electromechanical devices spraying pigmented fluids in drops measured in picoliters of volume on substrates of varying physical properties related to absorbency, refractive index, contribution to an arcane phenomenon known as metamerism.
We can't hope to see anything but a, pardon the expression, simulacrum of the combination of the effects of these phenomena (and other phenomena as a result of the interdigitation of these different technologies, at the software level, and even more so at the hardware level), at least not on a screen (which introduces a whole other set of variables). We can't see what we will get unless we actually go through the ordeal and expense of producing a hard proof. And then using our experience and deductive skills to make adjustments, not unlike maneuvering a rover on the moon from a control station on earth, that will produce the desired outcome within a very narrow (I assume) set of parameters.
Personally, I prefer working in Lightroom and in Photoshop in order to produce the image I would like to see in an ideal, if you like a Platonic, world. If what was on the screen could somehow be transferred magically to the surface of a lovely unsullied sheet of Arches cold press watercolor paper, 350g/m^2 coming out of an Epson 9900... (I've done it). Not so easy.
What the soft proofing capabilities of Photoshop are good for, from my point of view, is to show me how far off the image I am looking at as ideal will fall short on the intended target substrate. I must always remember, it is not a wholly accurate rendition of what the printer will do with a sheet of paper from a particular production run, with the particular combination of inks (with varying dates of origin of manufacture), never mind the vagaries of temperamental nozzles in the printhead, not to mention conditions of humidity, temperature, etc.
What the softproof tells me is that the red in that scarf on my subject really needs bumping up, if I expect the level of vibrancy I see I need in the ideal rendition. And I make the adjustment in the RGB representation on the screen, etc. When I have made my by guess and by gosh adjustments to all problem areas as suggested by the soft proof (it is only as accurate after all as the RGB image is in depicting any realistic expectation of a final result—the only assurance I have is that if I really want people to see my image as I see it on the screen I had better show them the screen...), I make a print. Sometimes I have to make two or three until I am satisfied this is truly the best I will get from the beautiful, but arcane, surface of the paper I have chosen.
In short, it's a risky business, and expensive.
If you want fast and affordable, frankly, stick to premium grade high gloss surfaces, preferably from Epson, in your case, or the manufacturer of your printer in general (Canon, incidentally, produces spectacular results on their Pixma Pro series printers and their own papers, especially the Pro Luster surface... I don't even bother with soft proofing... so there is an exception even to this rule I am taking a lot of time to point out to you). High gloss papers tend to have the widest gamut, give the deepest blacks, and the best renditions of saturated color, red and blue particularly, for some reason often the hardest spectral colors to render with the level of saturation you might like. Especially if you tend to shoot vividly colored subjects.
If you regularly use matte surface, or so-called fine art or watercolor surfaces, I think even if you adhere to the workflow implied in your question... Just set the computer and screen to "soft proof" in effect in Photoshop and work from their, and hope for the best... you are in for massive chronic dissatisfaction.
One last thing, I produce what I consider a basic working image in Lightroom, add further effects using a battery of third party effects software (from Google Nik, OnOne, Imagenomic, AlienSkin, etc.) and then go to work further on the image in Photoshop, but I never save the image, except as a revised file, once I'm done with Lightroom adjustments (which are never applied to the RAW file, but kept as meta-instructions separately in the LR database). So any effects added produce a new file. Any changes in Photoshop produce a new file. And when I am working, finally on an image to make into a committed hard print, I NEVER save the settings I use to produce a print, including a print I deem acceptable for exhibition. If nothing else, I can honestly tell a print buyer they are getting a unique "hand-made" image. I don't feel I'm operating a factory after all, but a studio. Further, changes in technology occur dynamically and continuously. I don't know what I would do with the settings I derived from working solely in the "soft-proofing" mode you think you might prefer in your workflow, if a new paper or ink set, or printer came along that solved the problems I had to fudge around to get a decent print with the existing technology at the time. At least if I work solely in RGB trying to achieve an "ideal" rendition, I will always be able to start from that same point, the next time I want a print worth saving of that image.
We've gone, or I've gone, way off topic here, and I beg the indulgence of anyone else who might be reading this, hoping for a simple fix to the original simple problem.

HP B9180 - Turn off color management in the printer driver.

I see others have questions in this area and mine is only a slight variation.
When selecting the ICC profile there is an option for Printer managed and then below that all my normal profiles are selected of which I select whichever is appropriate.
I select more options and select 'Perceptual' - does anybody have any views on this?
I keep black point on and increase brightness slightly - it's a judgement.
I click print and I get an additional Printer menu - possibly HP unique.
In this one of the options is Color Matching.
Grayed out beneath this are two radio buttons - one for Colorsync (on) and one for Vendor Matching (off). As they are grayed I cannot effect this.
It would appear that color management by the printer driver is turned off and I do appear to have more and better control of my prints than before but if anyone has more information I would be pleased to hear it.
regards, Bob

Can Flex Limit the Number of Prints that can be made?

Is there a way to create a Flex app to limit the number of
prints that can be made from it? I need to limit a coupon that
prints out, and I'm new to Flex. Is this possible to be created? Is
anyone interested in possibly contracting this job? This is a
serious inquiry. Email me if you have an idea, and a quote.

No. Printing is either permitted or not, but there is no way any document can control the print quantity.

Invoice number and document number not printed in payment advice

Hello Gurus,
I am executing reprint check through transaction fch7, In that Invoice number and document number not printed in payment advice. I have created zscript for that and also assinged regup-belnr and regup-xblnr and used standard program RFFOUS_C.
other fields from regup table are displayed but above two mentioned fields are not displayed.
I even tried debugging standard RFFOUS_C prog, in that regup-belnr and regup-xblnr are coming but it is not printed on form.
With regards,

Hi,
Debug you Zscript and check the invoice no and document no. Have assigned that script in FBZP..? check the which form is calling FCH7 in debugger mode..?

How to turn off color management in the print dialogue

I Use Macbook Pro OSX 10.8.2
Lightoom 4
Canon Pixma MG 8250
Profile MG series 8200 GL3/SG3 for Glossy paper.
It is stated that "remember to turn off color managment in the print dialog" when using custom profile (I assume the Profile MG...) is regarded as a custom profile...
I have been lookoing in the print dialogue and I can not find any way to turn off colour managment...
Is this only valid for Microsoft Windows of Is there something I do not understand ?

Hi ,
Automatic payment program has run successfully, Clearing Document is generated for the particular vendor . Cheque is not issued to the particular vendor.
however for other vendors the cheque number is printed.
FCHN cheque Register shows cheque is not issued to that particular payment document/ Vendor. For Previous APP runs cheque has got printed for the same vendor and for the next runs also cheques getting printed .
Kindly provide your inputs

Hi
There could be a possibility that only for that particular document for that vendor the payment method is changed at the line item level from check to other method of payment.
Hope it is clear.

MN05: setting the number of printer copies for the whole range of vendors

Hi all,
by t.code MN05 I can set the number of copies of the MM documents printed the FIRST TIME. I can do it for doc.type or vendor.
I can't set the number of printer copies for the whole range of vendors. Should I do it for each one of them?
Thanks
Gandalf

Unfortunately,
setting for document type, it doesn't work for all range of vendors.
Setting for document type, in the field "PartF" I've put in "OA". Could it depend on it?
you do for document type and then it will cover all range of vendors.
If you want prints for a specific vendor then set condition recrod for that vendor only.

Inventory Management-Change designated printer for Goods Receipts

Hi,
I am trying to change the designated printer that is assigned for printing our Goods Receipts. We are on 4.6C. I have looked at all of the IMG configuration tools and have not found the one that has the currently assigned printer shown. This includes IMG->Materials Management->Output Determination->Printer Determination and the current printer is not listed.
Are there more than one way to set the default printer for the GR print function when using transaction MIGO? Where or how is the printer defined?

Dear Mark,
One way is to maintain default printer for user, in SAP menu bar select System -> User Profile -> Own Data -> under Defaults tab enter printer name in output device.
