Network printer configuration in windows

Hi All,
we are on win2k3 withECC 6.0 and sqlserver 2005, i have created the new printer thru spad and added in the user workstation as network printer from add printer option .
For one workstation we add by logging in the system , but for more than 50 or more workstations is there any way to add the printer .
Please suggest..
Thanks,
Subhash

I'm not sure if I understand your question.
The idea of an network printer is to create it centrally in e g ECC.
There's no need to do anything at the workstation.
I can imagine that 50 users might not share the very same network printer so there might be more network printers in the system.
Then it's a matter of setting the correct default printer for each user.
unless you have 50 users, all with local printers connected to their workstations.
Then I suggest that you invest in a couple of network printers instead of using front-end printing technology.

Network Printer Configuration

Hi everyone,
We have printer model Xerox WorkCentre 7228 and i have to configure it as network printer.
I have the name of the printer and its IP address.
I have 2 questions?
1. We have SAP installed over HP-UX, so do i have to install unix driver for that network printer?
2. The printer model Xerox WorkCentre 7228 is not listed in the Device types in SPAD,
I checked the manufactiurer's website and they are providing device types for SAP R/3.
How do i proceed, i mean download the device types, and then how to make that info available in SAP?
Please help.
Thanks
Nanda

Hi Nanda,
The printer can be configured using one of the following types.
1) Using SAP protocal
In this type of configuration, you need to install the network printer on a windows server where you have the SAPSprint installed. For these type of the printer select the Access method 'S'. Give the host printer name as the same name that you have given in the windows server.
2) Using third party Print setup
In this you have to choose the Access method as 'E'. But in your case, it involves complete set up of the external Output management system like HPOMS, Columbus OM etc...Give the host printer name as the same name that you have given in the External Output Management system.
3) Printers set up on the server.
In this type you need to choose the Accessmethod as 'L'. You need to contact the HP-UX team to configure the printer on the server on which your SAP runs. Give the host printer name as the same name that you have given in the HP-UX server.
4) Printing using LOCL.
In this type of the printer you need to choose device type SWIN and the Accessmethod as F. In this case you need to choose the host printer as __DEFAULT( 2 times Underscore ). This will print on the default printer of windows system of the user who ever is printing on that.
For the Device Type, even we have setup a printer using POST2 device type and is working fine.
Please go through the below notes.
Note 8928 - List of supported printers/device types.
You can find some other notes specific to Xerox Model.
For device type installation we should have that object present in our system.
SPAD-> Utilities -> Import device type ->
In screen select device type radio button, and mode as import
Give location of that object and execute.
You will have to select that object again by browsing it then give it as local object.
Thanks,

Printing a PDF document from a network printer hosted on Windows Print Server

Hi
We have a use case where a XFA form needs to be merged with the XML file and later be printed on a printer hosted on Windows Print Server.
While I know the first part of merging the template with the data file, I am stuggling to get my document printed.
Here are the options that I have already tried -
1) Used the generatePrintedOutput to render a flat PDF and convert it into a PS format.
2) The output of the above service was input to the "sendToPrinter" service with following configuration settings
    Input document     : <Document variable referencing to the output of the GeneratePrintedOutput service>
    Printer Protocol     : DirectIP
    Server URI            : \\ <IP address of the Print Server>     NOTE: The Print Server is hosted on a different domain & is a Windows Server
    Printer Name        : \\ <IP address of the Print Server>\<name of the printer>
Some more information about our LC servers -
OS -> Unix
Application Server -> JBoss
When I used these settings and invoked the process, I got the following exception -
2011-03-07 11:13:39,047 ERROR [com.adobe.livecycle.output.exception.OutputException] ALC-OUT-001-403: Could not connect to the DirectIP Server: \\<IP Address of the Printer Server>.
2011-03-07 11:13:39,067 ERROR [com.adobe.workflow.AWS] An exception was thrown with name com.adobe.livecycle.output.exception.OutputException message:com.adobe.livecycle.output.exception.OutputException: ALC-OUT-001-403: Could not connect to the DirectIP Server: \\<IP Address of the Printer Server>. while invoking service OutputService and operation sendToPrinter and no fault routes were found to be configured.
2011-03-07 11:13:39,069 ERROR [com.adobe.idp.workflow.dsc.invoker.WorkflowDSCInvoker] An exception was thrown with name com.adobe.livecycle.output.exception.OutputException message:com.adobe.livecycle.output.exception.OutputException: ALC-OUT-001-403: Could not connect to the DirectIP Server: \\<IP Address of the Printer Server>. while invoking service OutputService and operation sendToPrinter and no fault routes were found to be configured.
2011-03-07 11:13:39,079 ERROR [com.adobe.workflow.AWS] An exception was thrown with name com.adobe.livecycle.output.exception.OutputException message:com.adobe.livecycle.output.exception.OutputException: ALC-OUT-001-403: Could not connect to the DirectIP Server: \\<IP Address of the Printer Server>. while invoking service OutputService and operation sendToPrinter and no fault routes were found to be configured.
Therefore I tried to check if I am able to Ping the Printer Server from my Livecycle Server and found that the ping was successful.
Next - I changed the Printer Protocol from DirectIP to SharedPrinter keeping the rest of the settings same. In this case - when I invoke the process, it did not throw any error , but it did not print any document as well.
Any suggestion where I have gone wrong? Pls let me know if you would need more information to help me resolve this issue.
Thanks & Regards,
Priyank

Well I found the answer......
I had to do the two steps below -
1) Go to Admin UI, "Trust Store Management -> User & Password Credentials" and add a profile for my Printer server with login ID and password which can access the printer.
So in the "User & Password Crendentails" page, I click on "add" and fill the following values
Profile : \\ <IP address of the print server> ....... (It is important that you write the name correctly..for example " \\10.10.234.212"
USername : <user id who has access to the printer>
Password : <password for that user Id>
2) In the sendToPrinter service, I used CIFS as the protocol and I have the proper Server URI as below
\\10.10.234.212\<printername>
And it worked ! .....

Find network printer configuration remotely

Hi,
Is there a way to know all my network printers specific configuration,
(we have many print servers, and many network printers configured with different configurations, one such is "keep printed documents")
I would to know in my network how many print queues are enabled this configuration option, if this is possible via script or GUI console.

Thanks for the reply,
I gone through those PS commands, those cmds only apply for W2K12 servers, I am looking for cmd or scripting options for win2k3 and above servers, Its a mixed environment.
check out this:

Networked Printing Through a Windows PC

I just upgraded my network to Linksys N router. Most of connections are working, but I have two vexing problems. I cannot print to Laserjet that is connected to an HP Laptop. I have tried several of the suggestions on the forum (using CUPS, manually entering through system preferences) but so far neither is working. The printer looks like it is configured and available, but when I try to print, I get an NTSTATUS_CONNECTIONREFUSED error. Does anyone have any other ideas of something I might have overlooked? The other problem (related) is that finder cannot see the shared documents on the HP. The converse works fine - the HP can see the Imac and works fine. The other odd wrinkle is that the homeshare feature of Itunes works both directions. Any ideas would be much appreciated.

The inability to connect to a shared folder on the PC is a concern and like you said somewhat related to the printer connection issue.
When you added the printer queue using the Print & Fax > Add Printer > Windows, where you prompted to enter your Windows account information to see the printer share name?
Also, could you open Print & Fax, select the current Windows queue, click Options & Supplies and then General tab. Then copy the print queue URL back here. Curious to see what path you have...

Network Printing Problems with Windows 8.1 and HP 8600 Officejet Pro

I can not print or scan from my Dell 2720 after the system has gone to sleep. My printer shows as connected to my network. Most time I have to completely restart my PC to get it to work but even that doesn't correct the issue most time. I have removed and reinstalled the printer at least a dozen times and updated the drivers several times. Also another oddity - my router is a dual-band (2.4 & 5 GHz) and my printer only connects to the 2.4 GHz connection which I understand is normal but any device attempting to print must be connect to the 5GHz band or nothing will print. So essentially I have two problems. Any suggestions?

Hi @mhmost,
I would be happy to help you print to your 8600. Running the Print and Scan Doctor might help. The HP Print and Scan Doctor is a free utility (tool) that helps to quickly resolve common printing, scanning and connectivity issues including but not limited to:
Connectivity:
USB: Verifies that the USB connection from your computer to the HP product is working correctly.
Network: Verifies that the network connection between your computer and your network is working correctly.
Device Status Test: Checks for device errors such as out of paper, paper jams, carriage stalls, and paper feed issues, and then provides instructions for fixing the error.
Driver Check: Checks for missing or corrupt driver files.
Device Manager: Checks for problems in Device Manager that would prevent printing.
Device Online: Checks if the product has been paused or set to offline, and then sets the status back to online if necessary.
Print Queue: Checks for and clears pending print jobs in the print queue (a log of print jobs waiting to print).
Port Match: Checks the port settings for the HP product.
Device Conflicts: Checks for conflicts with other drivers, such as other printer brands.
Ink Issues: Checks the cartridges and ink levels for issues that affect print quality.
Print Settings: Checks and adjusts the print quality settings.

If that does not resolve the issue, post back and let me know if there are any symbols other than green check marks and what they are next to of course. The wrench is not always easy to spot as the wrench and the check mart are in the green circle.
If you see only green check marks (), the tool did not find any problems.
If you see green wrenches (), the utility identified an issue and corrected it automatically.
If you see yellow exclamation points (), the test failed and required user action, but the step was skipped.
If you see a red X (), follow the on-screen instructions to resolve the issue.
As for the frequency, you are correct, the printer will not work over the 5.0GHz frequency, only with the 2.GHz.I suggest disabling the 5.0 frequency, and running on only the 2.4.
Thanks, I look forward to hearing back from you.

Printing to a network printer from a Windows 8 PC.

I installed an HP printer onto my iMac and then went wireless with it, sharing it so other iMac users could print when logged in. That all works. I now have a Windows 8 PC as well and want to print to this printer. The PC is on the network and can see the printer but when I try to print it says the printer is off-line. The iMac is turned on.
Thanks.

Thanks. I have done that. Everyone who has an account can log in to the iMac and print to the printer wirelessly. I just don't know how to allow a Windows 8 PC on the same network to print to it. I think we got this to work a while back when we had a Windows VISTA PC but that is long gone now and I don't remember the magic. Maybe in the iMac printer sharing I need to find the Windows 8 PC on the network and add it to the list somehow? I have also heard we have to install the printer driver on the Windows 8 PC too. So I am still investigating but I appreciate the quick reponses.

Home network printing problem from Windows 8

I have 3 PCs on my home network:
1.    Windows XP desktop (Pro SP3) with HP 6500 E709a USB printer.
2.    Windows 7 desktop (Ultimate SP1 64 bit) with HP 1018 USB printer.
3.    Windows 8 (64 bit) laptop.
Both printers are NOT Ethernet printers.
All computers can see each other and share folders on the home network.
Computers 1 & 2 can freely print on their own printers, as well as on each other's printer.
The problem is with computer 3 (Win8): it can see both printers, but can't print on either (in fact, I can print a test page on the HP 1018 printer from the printer driver on the Win8 machine, but I can't print anything from any application).
I tried to install HP 6500 driver on the Win8 machine, I turned on Network Discovery in the Advanced Sharing Settings on it, but it still doesn't work.
Any help would be appreciated.

Is there any "general puprpose" driver for HP 6500 E709a, something to replace the WIN8 driver that fails?

CP1025nw losing network print connection in Windows 8

In windows 8 with the latest drivers and firmware installed, the printer will setup and print just fine once. Then will just hang each print job in the queue each time after. If I turn off the printer and turn it back on, it works again. I've tried connecting a network cable and setting it up wirelessly with the same response.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the driver. Printing via cell phone or ipad works seamlessly. This printer worked fine using ePrint before installing the recently released win8 drivers. Please fix drivers ASAP!

Similar problem, maybe this info will overlap/help
I have a new HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus installed on two fairly new Windows 8 laptops wirelessly.
Similar symptoms on both (one is a Dell 17R, other is a Toshiba Ultrabook Z930).
Printer works fine, printing submitted jobs.
Then sometime during day it inevitably stops working mysteriously.
When it is in the broken state, I have walked to the printer and confirmed the printer is still connected/has its wireless IP. And the printer works fine printing from my iPhone or iPad.
But on Windows 8 at a command prompt I cannot ping the printer's IP address 192.169.0.11.
If I reboot the Windows 8 pc, or just wait a few hours, the printer comes back online and everything in the printer queue just prints out.
If I browse the internet wirelessly, that works also.
But I cannot seem to find a simple recipe for getting the PC out of the broken state (short of rebooting) or any way of preventing it getting into that state in the first place.
I suspect that the wireless connection is flakey, going down a few times per day. I have confirmed that the ADSL connection drops occasionally by looking at logs. That shouldn't drop the intranet/local wireless connection but maybe it does briefly. Even so, the wireless is set to auto reconnect and usually does. But occasionally I observe the wireless is disconnected and have to click to reconnect... no idea why the auto reconnect doesn't happen.... but in that case, it sometimes (but not always!!) leads to the printer coming online and service resuming.
As an example, a short while ago this happened and the wireless claimed to still be connected but a ping 192.168.0.11 failed. Yet I was able to browse the internet using the same wireless connection. And the printer worked from my iPhone. Then a few minutes later, everything went back to working and now I can also ping the printer. Usually when it goes offline, however, it takes many hours to get service back. Or I can reboot if impatient and that always makes it work. [This applies to both the Dell and the Toshiba].
The oddest part of this is that the iPhone wireless connection to the printer never falters.
Perhaps there is something wrong with the Windows 8 wireless reconnecting infrastructure, because one can't expect the printer driver to make it work when a ping fails. [When the printer is online the ping always works].
So not necessarily pointing at HP printer driver as the problem, but since it's a frustrating printer problem, I'm hopeful someone reading this forum can point me in a useful direction.

Printer Configuration under Windows for Bulk Printout

Dear Expert,
We have configured Canon IRC 2880/C3380 printer. We are trying to print 6000 printout at a time but we are not able to print. This device is not listed under device support category in sapnote 8928.
When we are trying to print 499 pages we are able to print but not 6000 printout at a time. Since this device is not listed under sap supported printer list so we have configured as SAPWIN & Access method we are using is G. But there is restriction for mass printing when device is defined as fronted printer.
Please advice how we should configure so it can print 6000 printout at a time.
Regards
Santosh

Hi,
Can you tell me what you have tried so far and how did you set?
Firstly please update all network adapter driver.
After that, do the following:
1. Open the Command Prompt (Admin).
2. Run "Ipconfig /all" to check your nics IP information.
3. Use route command tell the computer which interface you want the packets to leave from.
Assuming Network A is...
10.10.11.0 /24
Router is 10.10.10.1
and Network B is...
10.10.12.0 /24
Router is 10.10.10.2
then use this command:
route add 10.10.11.0 mask 255.255.255.0 10.10.10.1 -p
route add 10.10.12.0 mask 255.255.255.0 10.10.10.2 -p
Hope this helps.

I'd appreciate any help. Thanks in advance

How about OS X System Preferences => Sharing.
You need to enable the services you want to use which will also open the ports used and unblock in the firewall.

Satellite L350-171 - Installing network printer

I am having problems installing my Canon Pixma IP4300 printer as a network printer. The printer is connected to a desktop PC and then a Dynamode R-ADSL-C4-2 router. This is connected to the laptop by a cable, which was previously connected to my old laptop.
How do I install the network printer on the Toshiba. I have gone into Ctrl Panel and then Printers. I found the install printer option and selected install network printer. It then asks me to find the printer or else print it in manually. I did try to install it from the Canon disk, but things stuck during the process. Do I need the disk atall? How do I find what to call the printer?
Any help much appreciated.

Dear Trenny
Is this question posted on the right forum? Please don't be mad on me but what has Toshiba to do with network printers.
Do you have some problems with your Satellite notebook?
Do all ports work properly?
Is operating system working well?
For network printer configuration you can find enough pages here.
