Need Help Adding Network Printer

I am trying to add a network printer on a Solaris (Sun OS 5.6) system. I am doing this using lpadmin as outlined in volume 2 of the system admin guide.
The printer appears on the system, but when I try sending a print job, I get the message 'Segmentation error - core dumped' and nothing prints on the printer.
I have added the printer to the etc/hosts and can ping it o.k.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

There is info missing from your post that I like to have when considering these issues, so here is what I'm assuming:
You used the command:
lpadmin -p printername -v /dev/null -m netstandard -o dest=printerhostname -I contentype -T printertype
(note: I like -m netstandard instead of
-i /usr/lib/lp/model/netstandard because I'm lazy! they mean and do the same.)
You have the latest version of patch 106235 for lp, which I believe is -09
This is perhaps not the first printer or first attempt at adding a printer on this host.
Possibly this machine was upgraded from a previous version of Solaris?
If you can find the core file (it may be where you issue the lp command or in the /var/spool/lp/tmp directory), you can use the adb command to at least extract the name of the binary that is coring:
adb core
This could be several things that could require anything from a spool clean to an remove and reinstall of the print packages. Any more details you can provide? Perhaps the output of lpstat -p printername -l? Does this happen with any printer you create?

  • I need help adding my printer to my home wireless network

    My printer was shut down for several months. When i turned it on it was not longer connected to my wireless network. It recognizes my SSID and that of other wireless networks in the area. But I cannot get it connected to my home wireless network.
    When I enter my passphrase it returns error "passphrase invalid." If I use the Push Button or PIN set-up I get the error message "WPS timed out."
    I have followed the instructions useing the HP Printer set-up disc. It worked on one computer today (it printed a wireless network test report). But, then I could not find the printer on the network later. I also noticed the report does not show a IP address for the printer.
    I have also been online with my internet provider and we changed my passphrase 11 times and the printer never recognized any of them. I am operating another printer wirelessly on the same system. By the way, shutting the other printer down did not seem to work. But, they both worked on the network previously.I have also added and deleted the printer several times.
    The printer I am trying to add is a HP Photosmart Premium Web C309n-s
    I am using a Windows 7 Operating System 64-bit on my laptop and Windows XP 32 bit on the other computers on my home wireless network,
    Please help.

  • I need help for network printer installation.

    Hi, I want to install Konica bizhub 7228 network copier in Mac v10.6.2. I have some trouble please advise the mathod of installation.

    The only printer driver I see for that is a Postscript driver at  http://onyxftp.mykonicaminolta.com/download/SearchResults.aspx?productname=7228.
    Are you able to define your printer to the network? Can your MacPro see it? Can you describe what you've done and the nature of the trouble ...
    Also ... you posted in the iMac discussion ... you might post in the MacPro discussion at https://discussions.apple.com/community/desktop_computers/mac_pro

  • Need help adding schedule to xcode 4

    I need help adding a tour schedule for an iphone app building an app for 13 djs and they want thier tour schedules added these need to be updated monthly is there a way to add this????

    I don't know if this is the easiest way but it works for me. I connect the DVD player to my camcorder (so it's the 3 plugs yellow/red/white on one end and a single jack into the camera). Then I connect my camcorder to the computer (I think it's through a firewire port). Then I just play the DVD and the footage is digitized via the camcorder and I import it into iMovie 4 as it's playing. I believe the camcorder is just in VCR mode.
    I have also used this method to transfer VHS tapes onto DVDs via the camera by connecting the VCR to the camera.
    I haven't had much luck with movies over about 40 minutes on iMovie. But if it's home movies, there may be a logical break. Do maybe 20 minute segments (it's also really easy on iMovie to add a soundtrack if these are OLD films with no sound.
    As you can see, I'm low tech!
    Good luck!

  • Need help with duplicate print jobs over network that I can't cancel

    I have the Photosmart Premium All-in-One on my home network.  My kids who each have laptop running Windows 7 and are connected via wireless to the printer via a DLINK DIR-655.
    They hit the print button too many times and it keeps printing over and over again.
    Is there a way to get the printer to stop printing these duplicates.  I tried turning off/on but they just keep printing.
    We're wasting paper/ink and I need help with a solution.
    Please let me know.  Thanks.

    There should be a button with a red 'X' on it on the front of the printer.  This is the print cancel button.

  • Need help, trying to print strings backwards while ignoring certain things.

    To clarify the topic what I mean is I want to spell the words the user inputs backwards while skipping over certain characters. Here's my code:
    import javax.swing.*;
    import java.util.*;
    import java.text.*;
    import java.io.*;
    class SConvert{
    private static final char BLANK = ' ';
    private static final String stop = "STOP";
    public static void main(String[] args){
    char[] ignore = new char[21];
    ignore[0] = '.';
    ignore[1] = '/';
    ignore[2] = '>';
    ignore[3] = '<';
    ignore[4] = ',';
    ignore[5] = '?';
    ignore[6] = '-';
    ignore[7] = '~';
    ignore[8] = '!';
    ignore[9] = '@';
    ignore[10] = '#';
    ignore[11] = '$';
    ignore[12] = '*';
    ignore[13] = '&';
    ignore[14] = '^';
    ignore[15] = '%';
    ignore[16] = '`';
    ignore[17] = '_';
    ignore[18] = '+';
    ignore[19] = '=';
    ignore[20] = '|';
    String word, statement, append;
    boolean go = true;
    int i, numOfchar, index;
    char[] chr;
    index = 0;
    word = " ";
    statement = " ";
    append = " ";
    Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
    while (go){
    System.out.println("Enter a word");
    word = scanner.next();
    chr = word.toCharArray();
    numOfchar = word.length();
    if (word.equals(stop)){
         break;
    else if (index < numOfchar && word.charAt(index) == BLANK + BLANK){
         index = BLANK;
    else if (index < numOfchar && word.charAt(index) == (int)ignore[19]){ //Trying to range for entire array, I don't know how.
         index++;
    else
           for (i = word.length() - 1; i >= 0; i--)
              statement = statement + chr;
              append = append + " " + statement;
    System.out.print(append + " ");
    What's messing me up is the fact that whenever I try to enter words into the program, printing append only repeat EVERY occurance of statement. For example, say I type in "Ham with gravy." I get "maH htiwmaH yvarghtiwmaH".
    That's not what I want. Also, I don't know how to make the entire array of ignore available to the program, anyway to do that?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

    Wow. What's with the hostility? Even I was in error of detecting anything that could have solve the problem completely there's no need to use such a negative tone, epsecaility with someone who is learning to program in OOP, let alone the syntax of Java. Also, no your program did not solve all of my problems in it's original form. Let's take a look at it.
    Here's your code:
    import java.lang.String;
    import java.util.*;
    public class ReverseString {
      public void ReverseString(){
      public void printReverse(String s){
         int i;
        String noPrint = "no print'";
        char ch = '*';
        if(s.length()>1) printReverse(s.substring(1));
         ch = s.charAt(0);
        if (!noPrint.contains(ch + " ")) System.out.print(ch);
        return;
      public static void main(String[] args) {
          String myString = Here is my String.;
       System.out.print("My String: " + myString + " Reverse: ");
       new ReverseString().printReverse(add);
       System.out.println();
    }In it's original state the program doesn't allow for any user input, which is something I needed (and added on my own), it doesn't convert the ignore[] I had in my original code to anything readable (however this can be done in the noprint String quite easy as someone else mentioned earlier.) the if command does in fact ignore the special characters in noprint String HOWEVER it doesn' t not print those characters as they would appear in the myString String in the position that it original appeared in (which is the primary problem I am having.) That is the problem with your code and why it is not the complete to soultion to my homework problem. I've modified your code to satisifed all but one of the problems.
    Modified:
    import java.lang.String;
    import java.util.*;
    public class ReverseString {
      public void ReverseString(){
      public void printReverse(String s){
         int i;
        String noPrint = "~`!@#$%^&()-=+[{]}\':;?/>.<,'";
        char ch = '*';
        if(s.length()>1) printReverse(s.substring(1));
         ch = s.charAt(0);
        if (!noPrint.contains(ch + " ")) System.out.print(ch);
        return;
      public static void main(String[] args) {
           Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
          String myString;
          String add = " ";
           while (true) {
       System.out.println("Please input String.");
       myString = scanner.next();
       add = add + myString;
              if (myString.equals("STOP")){
                   break;
       System.out.print("My String: " + add + " Reverse: ");
       new ReverseString().printReverse(add);
       System.out.println();
    }If you run this code you'll see what am talking about. The only remaining problem, which I am about to restate if you are still unclear of it, is that the noprint String contents are ignored but not printed in the original position. If you are still having trouble understanding what I am talking about then let me show what I got by running the program.
    String: Ham with grav?y
    Reverse: yvarg htiw maH. [Note the ? is missing.]
    By removing the ! in the if command I get:
    Reverse: y?varg htiw maH. [Now the ? is in the wrong position.]
    It's suppose to be:
    String: Ham with grav?y
    Reverse: yvarg htiw ma?H.
    Secondly, I understand that you are frustrated with my apparent lack of understanding of proper Java tems and syntax but you must keep in mind I am student thus I am not fully aware of java as you are. With that one would expect you to act with a bit more patience, yet you not only took offense to an innocent comment you choose to slander my name and intelligence by erasing your code and calling my understanding of Java, ?ignorant.? I may be less than careful with my choice of words concerning Java but I do understand enough code to know the inner workings of a typical program, so please refrain from calling me ignorant or any variant of this in the future.
    I merely asked for help from general populous, do not think I owe you any particular praise for your code even if I find it is not exactly what I desired. I may be new to java but I am not new the message boards. With that said I find your response awfully rude and ask if you to refrain from do so in the future. I'm assuming you are an adult so act least act like someone with a bit of civility. If you were so committed to believing your code was the de facto solution to this problem then you could have simply asked why I say what I said, if had done so and shown me the error of my statement I would have not taken offense. Instead you choose to throw a fit and deleted your code. I do not know if you are like this around other board members but you should at least show courtesy to all members of this forum regardless of their time here.
    With that said, I think I've all ready found a solution to this problem I've had. I'll just tell the program to simply count over the position the character is in. That way it will stay in the same position.

  • [Solved] Adding Network Printer Arch+Openbox

    I've Arch with openbox installed. I need to add the network printer so I can print stuff at my university without switching to windows (hate windows :S). I went to IT guys at my school and they gave me printer queue information and they have no clue how to install network printers on Linux. This is the instruction file they gave me:
    To add printer support, from the console type "printtool". You have to be in X-windows to use this application, it does not run in the console.
    Click on "Remote Unix (lpd) Queue".
    Names = $$$$
    Spool Directory = /var/spool/lpd/lp0
    Remote Host = $$$$
    Remote Queue = $$$$
    Above instructions are for Red Hat Linux and I do not have printtool. I was reading about cups, lpd, lpr and but I'm confused, I do not want to setup network printer I just need to print documents from the network printer that has been already setup in my uni network. Any help would be appreciated.

    1) Your printer already has a cups server. Edit your client.conf and be happy.
    2) Your printer allows remote lpd and you want to print without cups. Use LPRng instead (install from AUR). Since most applications are preconfigured for CUPS this will be more work and you'll have to know what you are doing.
    3) Your printer allows remote lpd and/or some other protocol. Install and start the cups server, add the network printer and start printing. I already mentioned this in my previous post.
    By the way, the wiki mentions this (except for the unsupported LPRng)
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CU … g_workflow
    There are two ways to setup a printer.
    *   If there's a CUPS server running in your network and sharing a printer you only need to install the client package.
    *   If the printer is connected directly to your system or you have access to an IPP network printer then setup a local CUPS server.

  • Adding network printer

    I have a macbook pro. I am trying to add my network printer from work (HP LaserJet 5000 Series PCL) so I can print from my desk. The problem is that I have not been able to do it. I did some reasearch and I downloaded the HP drivers. I typed in the IP address and nothing??
    I am not sure what I am doing wrong?
    The only thing I can think of is that the network printer is attached to my work computer, I'm using Windows 2000, and I don't have administrator privilages? Not sure if this is even a factor when I am trying to connect my macbook pro.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    mac book pro   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Ok, so to confirm, the printer is not "attached (directly) to your computer" but is connected to the network?
    When you say everything grayed out, you mean on the Sharing tab? If so, that's not a privilage issue, as I have admin rights on my work PC and it's grayed out for me too. But on mine, the radio button for Share this printer is active - is yours?
    Also, click on the Ports tab, and confirm that it's an IP address and a Standard TCP/IP port that's checked. If there's a Windows network address (e.g. letters+numbers, no periods), then that's what you need to enter as the location in printer setup on your mac.

  • Need help to find printer setup utility

    I recently bought my first Mac and have slowly been adding to it over the last couple of weeks. Today I added a new printer that I wish to connect wirelessly. The printer is a Brother MFC-3360. I installed the software that came with the printer and had the printer connected directly to the Mac Book. It printed just fine.
    I then disconnected the USB cable and plugged it into the Extreme Base station. It failed to print. According to the Extreme manual, I need to open printer setup utility, located in the utilities folder in the applications folder. Then from there I need to add the printer.
    The problem is, I have no printer setup utility. Is there another place where it might be located?
    Any other ideas will be much appreciated. Thank you!

    Found problem. Went to Sys prefs -> Printers and Fax -> removed my printer and re-installed. Works like a charm.

  • I need help trying to print ,move and resize multiple images on a page to print!help!

    can anyone give me to some advice. I was using an older version of photoshop elements where i could position the image i wanted to print on the page. I could resize it, move it around and add more photo's. I print small images that I cut out for jewelry making and need to be able to add 12 small images to a 4x6 print size page. My new elements is not allowing me to do that! I'm frustrated and need help!! thanks!

    It should work just the same as before: create a blank document, place your images on it, then print it. The only difference is that you can't change the position of the image in the print window anymore.

  • Downloaded Epsom printer app need help to set printer up on iPad 3

    Need help to set up Epsom printer to ipad3 downloaded Epsom app can find the printer but don't know where to set up

    It's Epson, not epsom.  Epsom refers to epsom salt (magnesium sulfate).
    ... Anyway, iPads don't have printers directly set up.  You might interface with a printer over a WiFi.  That could be done either using Apple's AirPrint (if the printer is new enough) or maybe you have Epson's iPrint utility.
    If you have the iPrint utility, you simply open the utility, click the "maintenance" button in the lower left, and select the "Printer" on the top and set it up there.
