Network printer sap printing settings

Hello,
I want to set the network printer on 4.7 oracle + unix system.
I am having only ip address of printer.
Can we do remote printing on network printer??????
If no then which printing is possible and how to do setting (Access Method & Device Attributes )

Hi Danniel,
Of course, you can assign an printer directly on OS. If you are working on Digital unix, you need to define the printer in "\etc\printcap" first. If you are working on HP-UX, you need to define the printer on "SAM" tool, as a first step. Then choose "L: Print locally via LP/LPR with signal" and write down printer name that you have defined in configuration file on operating system. By doing so you can define the printer.

Computer loses network printer settings

Hi
I have a workstation that loses connectivity to a network printer everytime it's rebooted. I have tried several options including installing a new operating system with the latest updates available. This is the only workstation out of 12 thats linked to the network printer that does it.
Please help
Thanks in advance
Kiran

Hi All,
Apologies for the late reply.
Thank you all for your feedback.
Gordon, I have checked hardware. there are some basic differences, but nothing that poses a problem.
Premraj, the filesharing is on as this os only one computer in the entire network that has this problem.
Firewalls have been enabled/disabled again to verify.
M. Jenkins, the workstation is on the same workgroup as other machines not experiencing this problem. Client is using windows XP Pro.
RadhaKrishnan, User has admin priveleges, and all users have static IP addresses. I have also attempted assigning a different IP address with no success.
Thanks,
Kiran

Network Printing & Settings - iMac & MBP

Here's something unusual.
My iMac is the master computer when it comes to the network, and I wirelessly connect between that and the MBP 2.4ghz (late 2008).
The Epson RX690 inkjet printer is attached to the iMac, and I share it out via the network settings...and have added it on the MBP as a Bonjour/connected printer.
However, I have a number of different settings for the printer (ie, B&W, color) and there's different trays for different prints. Yet, when I tell it to print to the lower tray (where I keep the majority of the paper), it always wants to send it to the rear/manual feed side, and I can't adjust those settings on the MBP, only select them.
Any ideas/encounters ?

Any ideas/encounters ?
when you setup the printer via bonjour on the MBP did you use the generic driver or did you use the specific driver for that model of printer?

How can I change all the settings of a networked printer?

I have a Canon iP5000 attached to a mini in another room, and want to print over ethernet from my iMac. All is ok for basic printing, but for some reason I can't get to all the print settings on the networked machine that are available from the machine with the printer attached.
The implication of this is that I can't print photos from my iMac, as the "high quality" option isn't an option I can select. Currently, I have to create a pdf, send it over, and then print from the mini as I can see all the options from there.
Is it a driver issue (Canon don't list a 10.6 driver on their website) or a Mac OS issue?

In order for you to see all the additional Canon printer features (known as PDE's) you must have the same driver installed on the Mac sharing the printer and the Mac connecting to the printer share.
If both the Mini and the iMac are running OS X 10.6, then you can download the Canon Printer Update v2.3 from Apple and install on both Mac's. If either Mac is already using v10.30.3.0 of the iP5000 driver, which was part of the v2.3 Canon Printer Driver Update for Snow Leopard, then you just have to ensure the other Mac is using the same driver.
If one of the Mac's is using a version of Mac OS X other than 10.6, then please reply.

Trying to use HPLJ 1102w as a wired network printer. How do you configure the network settings?

I have an HPLJ 1102W and I want to use it as a wired printer on my LAN. The trouble is, the easy setup utility is geared toward wireless networking and the ethernet interface will not get a DHCP address from the LAN. In order to get an IP address, I have to go through the wireless networking configuration settings. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to use this printer as a wired network printer?
thanks,

Hi,
The HP LaserJet P1102w provide USB or wireless network interface only.

I use IMAC upstairs connected to the house wifi downstairs where the networked printer is. I have 'found' the network printer on my IMAC settings but when i send to print I am getting a pop-up box which has 'apple' as user name and is asking for password.

I use IMAC upstairs connected to the house wifi downstairs where the networked printer is. I have 'found' the network printer on my IMAC settings but when i send to print I am getting a pop-up box which has 'apple' as user name and is asking for password. I have tried my own IMAC password but to no avail. The printer also shows a pop-up box stating 'awaiting authentication.
Any help appreciated

You are asking several different questions. If you need to store your photos, music, and movies on an external volume, you certainly can. Any externally connected hard disk drive will work, connected either directly to your Mac or to your Time Capsule as a shared volume.
You should not rely upon using that as a backup device though. Although you certainly may use it for both purposes, it is a better idea to have dedicated backup devices for a variety of reasons not limited to redundancy. You would not want to simultaneously lose all your pictures as well as your backup. If they are all on the same device, that could happen. Furthermore, a backup cannot back up the volume on which it is running.
As for adding an Extreme or Express, using its LAN port for your iMac, and then enable Internet sharing so you can effectively use the iMac as a "hotspot", you can do that too, but I am unclear on what benefit you believe this arrangement would convey for you.
An Extreme's Guest network is separate from its Main network; that is the reason for having it.

Wireless and network printing transcript for Meet the Experts

On March 16th, HP hosted its first online chat event on wireless and network printing. Below is a transcript of that session.
I am in the process of planning the next chat event. I would love to hear what topics would interest you, what day of the week and time is best for you, and if you think an hour is too long.
So, if you get a minute, please let me know.
Here's the transcript:
SiobhanF-HP: Welcome! Cameron, Craig, David, and Jim are ready to tackle your questions.
SiobhanF-HP: Just to remind you if you want to ask a question, you must be a member of the HP Support Forums. If you want to join, go here https://passport2.hp.com/hppcf/createuser.do
nc256: Do I need a wireless router to hook up my wireless printer?
CameronL-HP: No, but most people will want to do it this way. You can use a feature called an ad hoc connection to avoid using a router, but it is only covered under an older standard that is slower and less secure. Also, without something to route traffic between the local network and the internet, you cannot get an internet connection. Using a wireless router makes setting up a wireless network easier, and it will generally make the network work better too.
jest1: I've seen some hardware in stores for a "print server" hardware device that attaches to a network. Is this something that I need in order to run a printer over a network?
CraigB--HP: Not if you have a printer that has a network connection built in. Many models of HP computers are ready to be connected directly to your wired or wireless network.
katiepage: How can I print when I am using a VPN?
DavidH-HP: VPN connections generally hide the rest of your home network to increase the security of the VPN connection. A printer on the network isn’t a security threat but the VPN doesn’t know that. It just hides everything just to be sure. That means that when a VPN is active you need some way to connect to the printer other than your home network. Bluetooth, USB, and even printing to a thumb drive and plugging that into the printer are all ways of getting your print job to the printer that don’t go through your home network.
SiobhanF-HP: If you have specific product questions, the more information you give us the better we will be able to help you. Getting your exact model number; any error messages; a description of your wireless network including what kind of security you have, what wireless-devices are connected to your network, and your IP address will go a long way to helping us answer your question.
MelissaP: Why would I want a wireless printer?
CraigB--HP: The main advantage of a wireless printer is the ability to place the printer somewhere in your home or office even if this is not near your router or computer.
Deltan: What is the maximum distance I can have between my router and my printer?
CameronL-HP: It does depend on your environment. Without interference about 25 feet. Walls and floors and other objects can reduce this. The types of walls are important. For example, mirrors and outdoor walls will greatly reduce the indoor range.
jest1: Is there a preferred wireless router type or brand for wireless printing compatibility? We are using a Linksys 802.11g router in my home.
JimB-HP: In general, any wireless-router from a name brand manufacturer that has been Wi-Fi certified is compatible with our printers (look for the Wi-Fi logo). We use Linksys in our lab with great success.
nc256: Are there any digital cameras that can send directly to an HP wireless printer for photo printing?
DavidH-HP: Many printers support a feature called Pictbridge. If the camera and printer both supports this feature, the camera can be plugged directly into the printer to print photos. Or are you asking about printing over a network connection?
KevinW: I keep hearing that you shouldn’t use default settings for a network. Why?
CraigB--HP: There are three reasons not use default settings: First, wireless-routers do not have any wireless security enabled by default. Second, you will be using a common network name in which case you may connect accidentally to your neighbor’s network. Third, your wireless-router is accessible by inadvertent guests who may change the configuration of your wireless-router without your knowledge or use your internet connection without your permission.
Bodie08: I have an HP Lan attached printer and Windows XP on my home network. Is there a known setting (Firewall/port/other) or patch to address the issue of hpqtra08.exe hanging on Windows XP Shutdown? A number of us in the forum have identified this issue. Thanks!
DavidH-HP: This problem has been seen in the past but there were attempts to address it. Have you checked to see if there is a later release of software available on the web? (hp.com)
ZhuLee3: How old is wireless printing technology? I noticed all the experts have around 20 years of experience with it, was there wireless 20 years ago?
JimB-HP: Wireless printing first appeared with the introduction of the 802.11 standard in late 1990's. HP has been making wireless printers since 2003.
lpeterson123: What makes wireless so flaky at times?
CameronL-HP: There are lots of reasons. Wireless signals are affected by distance, walls, metal objects, and other wireless devices like cordless phones. However, most of the problems seem to be from how the network or how security software is configured, and these can also cause things to fail only occasionally or in certain situations. Having a good wireless connection between a PC and printer involves several hardware devices and lots of software made by different companies that all have to work together; if something is not quite right in any of these things then the whole solution looks flaky.
Bowman16: I use a Mac, are there any features that would not work if I was to set it up for wireless use
DavidH-HP: All the features will work on a Mac if you install the full HP software solution.
jest1: Thanks for the answer on the router question. The next question, then, is to ask what would be a recommended consumer-grade wireless-enabled printer (or series) just so I can start my research.
JimB-HP: Any of our Photosmart or Officejet wireless printers will work with Wi-Fi certified wireless-routers. Our price points really have more to do with how much printing you do. In general, our more expensive printers cost less per page than our less expensive models.
Bodie08: Why would I choose "spooling" on my PC over "direct connect”?
CraigB--HP: In general, spooling allows you to use your program sooner than printing directly.
ZhuLee3: Jim: What is it like to be an "HP Printing Expert"? What kind of stuff do you get to work on, on a day to day basis?
JimB-HP: I really like my job -- I've always been a radio enthusiast so working on 802.11 technology is really a dream job for me. I'm also fortunate to work with a great team here in Vancouver, WA. More importantly, I like designing equipment that people use in their everyday lives.
TEACHER1: Recently I changed routers, now I am unable to print wirelessly, even though the SES and wireless network light are steady on my Deskjet 6980 printer. What is the solution? Thanks.
DavidH-HP: The wireless light indicates that the radio is on but does not indicate that the printer is connected to the network. First check that the printer is connected to the network by printing a network configuration page from the printer.
AgentRed: I get my internet with a Verizon wireless broadband card. Someone told me that wouldn't work with a wireless printer. Is that true?
CameronL-HP: Our wireless printers use the 802.11 b, g or n standard which is not compatible with the wireless cellular standard. It would be like trying to connect to a wireless network using Bluetooth. They are different wireless technologies.
DavidH-HP: Regarding the Verizon card, it is true that you cannot connect the printer over the Verizon connection, but as long as your laptop has Wife you can print to the printer over WiFi at the same time that the Verizon connection is active. This should not be a problem.
jest1: Is there a "minimum" internet connection that is recommended for wireless printing? We live a bit far from the DSL CO so our connection is sometimes flaky. I would guess that incoming speed shouldn't affect my local wireless LAN but I want to ask it anyway
CameronL-HP: There are 2 parts to your home network. 1 is your wireless router which manages your local network equipment, then your network connection to the world wide web which your DSL provider gives you. The connection speed of your local network is not affected by your internet connection speed.
Bowman16: Are any HP printers 802.11n? I do not want to add an 802.11b,g to my network and cause it to slow down.
JimB-HP: Currently, our printers comply with the 802.11g standard. We are investigation the emerging 802.11n standard.
ZhuLee3: Will there be a transcript of all the questions and answers from this chat available for viewing after the session? I think I missed some questions at the start.
SiobhanF-HP: The chat event begins when you joined. Sorry that you can't see what was said before you joined. I hope to have transcript posted tomorrow or on Wednesday at the latest.
nc256: Where is the future of printers headed? Does HP have any interesting plans with printing technology? And what’s your opinion on whether or not color laser printing will ever approachthe photo realism of ink jet color?
JimB-HP: The future of HP printing will be characterized by wireless connectivity to not only computers but to mobile internet devices. In fact, as mobile devices become smaller (think phone or netbooks), the need to print from your mobile device might become more relevant.
jest1: Am I able to print from my iphone to a wireless printer?
CraigB--HP: You can print photos from your iPhone to HP wireless printers and it works great in my experience. Go to http://www.hp.com/go/iprintphoto to get the details.
TEACHER1: Thank you. I printed a page. It shows that wireless is disconnected.
DavidH-HP: Then you just need to input the wireless settings from your new router into the printer. If your printer does not let you input the settings from the front panel, you can use the CD that came with the printer or downloaded from hp.com to configure the printer again ( look for the option to "add a device" ).
ZhuLee3: Question about security... if I get a wireless printer, what’s to prevent other people within range of my printer, from adding it and printing documents? How is this configured on the actual printer?
JimB-HP: The simplest way to secure your printer is to enable WPA-PSK security for your wireless network and to use a security pass-phrase that is at least 12 characters long. This configuration is very safe from intruders for the foreseeable future.
CameronL-HP: It' is also a good idea to use a unique network name, also called an SSID.
carolj: I have a photosmart C7180 and I have it hooked up to my laptop (windows vista) when the setup completed the printer was put in networking instead of printers and I cannot access it or move it out of there. What do you suggest?
CraigB--HP: You might need to uninstall and reinstall. Before doing this, make sure your get the latest driver from the HP support at: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?product=1153754&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&cc=us This is also where you can get a copy of the instruction book.
wizll: Hi, I haven't done much research in wireless printing, but I'm interested as I currently have my printer set up the old fashioned way where it's connected to a networked PC, but if the PC is off I can no longer print, which is obviously inconvenient. Do hp wireless printers have a web gui you can connect to once it's on the home network, or is it simply all done from the printer's interface. I've seen some old wired network printers that only use the printer's ui and that seems like a clunky use.
DavidH-HP: Yes, the HP printers which have networking built-in have what we call an "embedded" web server which allow you to configure settings, check status, and have many other features; on some models you can even scan using the embedded web server.
nc256: Jim: Will color laser printing ever reach ink jet quality for photos?
JimB-HP: While never is a long time, inkjet printers will, for the near future, output higher quality photos.
katiepage: If I'm at home, connected to my office network via VPN, can I access my office networked printers?
CraigB--HP: Yes, when you are connected to the office VPN, you can print to your office printers. However, you will not be able to print to your home networked printers while you are connected to the VPN.
jest1: If a friend comes over to my house with their laptop and needs to print something, are they able to do this just by authenticating with my wireless LAN (assuming I have a wireless printer set up)?
CraigB--HP: In addition to authenticating to your network, you friend will also need to install the printer driver for your printer.
jpszambelan: Is there a wireless USB device of some kind I can connect to my printer if there is no network connection already built in?
JimB-HP: HP sells an accessory that adds Wi-Fi capability to your USB printer (see http://www.shopping.hp.com/product/printer/inkjet/wireless/4/accessories/Q6236A%2523A2L) Also, many higher-end wireless-routers allows USB printers to be connected to them to allow sharing of the printer from the network. Note that this solution often limits you to just printing and not scanning from the network.
rockwoodchev: It seems that my computer can find my printer, but my printer can't find the computer, so that "Scan to computer" won't work. What do I need to do in order to fix that?
DavidH-HP: This can be blocked by security software running on the PC (such as a personal firewall). Make sure that your firewall is configured to allow communication on your local network. You can also unblock specific ports, but the easiest way is often just to allow communication on the local home network. The specific setting varies from firewall to firewall.
SiobhanF-HP: We are nearing the end of our chat session. We only have time for 3 more questions. If we did not get to your question, please post it on the Networking and Wireless board in the Printers and All-in-Ones forum. http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/board?board.id=Networking
SSPatrick: Is it possible to print wirelessly to the same HP printer using both a PC and a Mac?
JimB-HP: Yes -- I do this in my home. I have both Macs and PCs on my network without any trouble.
Bowman16: Any plans to do this again?
SiobhanF-HP: Yes we are.
ZhuLee3: Do all of the experts hang out on the HP community? Will we see you posting there after this?
DavidH-HP: Oh yes, whenever time permits. In addition to trying to help people, I learn things too.
JimB-HP: I'm known as Wi-Fi-Guy on the support forums. I hang out there often helping where I can. It helps me be a better designer.
CraigB--HP: I monitor the forums looking for problems to take back to the development lab for investigation. To date, I have only posted one reply.
CameronL-HP: I haven't been involved in the past but expect to be more involved in the future.
SiobhanF-HP: We only have time for one more question. If we did not get to your question, please post it on the Networking and Wireless board in the Printers and All-in-Ones forum. http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/board?board.id=Networking
ZhuLee3: Thanks for setting this up!
SiobhanF-HP: The transcript will be posted on http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/board?board.id=Networking
TEACHER1: Thank you all for conducting this session !!!!
jest1: Is there an OS limitation to print wirelessly?
JimB-HP: All the OS versions supported by the printer as supported wirelessly. In general, we are compatible with Macs, Windows and Linux.
SiobhanF-HP: We are ending the chat event. Thank you for coming. We hope you found it worthwhile. I will be posting a transcript of the event in the Networking and Wireless board in the Printers and All-in-Ones forum. We will be hosting future Meet the Experts chat sessions on a variety of topics, so please tell us what you thought of the event and how it could be improved. http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/board/message?board.id=Feedback&thread.id=525

Cannot find HP AiO networked printer

Spent over 1.5 hrs with HP support to no avail...thought someone here may have some additional information.
Have an HP PS3210 AiO printer connect via USB to my MBP. My wife can print fine as long as I'm home and my computer is on. When I am away she must connect her PB to print. No big deal but an inconvenience.
The 3210 has built in networking so I tried to connect it to the wireless router for network printing with a wired (Cat 5) connection. HP software could not find the printer. Uninstalled and re-installed software with most current version, still could not find the printer. Here's what's weird. Both machines can find the printer by entering the IP address in a browser window. It prints, scans, shows ink levels, tech data, everything. On the PB I can manually install the printer by going to printer setup utility, add, default browser, more printers, then selecting HP IP printer from the drop down menu but I cannot do it on the MBP. HP IP printing is not offered as an option. Even after adding the printer manually, printing a test page so I know it works, when I run the HP device setup program it still does not find the printer.
I have tried disabling the firewall on both machines, no change. HP says I have a problem with Bonjour, that it must be working properly in order for the software to see the printer on the network. If that's so, how come everything else seems to see the printer?
I have alot more faith in the knowledge available on this board than anythig HP can do for me. Any ideas or suggestions????
Thanks!
MBP 2.33 C2Duo Mac OS X (10.4.8)

You're very welcome, and that's great news. Now because you were able to add the printer and successfully print from the EWS, it let's us know that everything is set up properly we just need to contact the router manufacturer and have them open up some ports that may be blocked.
When you contact them please tell them to make sure that the bonjour multicasting is enabled on the router. Now you will need to make sure that the following ports are unblocked:
UDP: 427, 161, 137, 138,
TCP: 9100, 9220, 9500, 137, 139, 427
Bonjour Ports: 80, 443, 5222, 5223
Once these settings are changed and ports unblocked you should now be able to successfully print to your D110a.
Let me know how everything works out!

HP Deskjet 3050a cannot find network printer

I need to find out what my IP address is for my printer. I may have changed it accidently when I was trying to set up my printer to a new router. I have reset the default settings. I have tried to go to HP file where it says I can change my IP address and I get the error "cannot find network printer". I have done all of the obvious deinstall, reinstall, added MAC address to router. Nothing will recognize my printer. Please help. Thank you

Hello again,
OK, thanks for the updated information. Try these steps...
Changing wireless settings
If you decide to change the wireless network settings for your wireless home network, you will need to configure your wireless printer with the new settings.
To configure the new wireless settings on a printer that features a Wireless Setup Wizard:
From the printer’s control panel, open the Wireless Settings menu. Many products provide access to the Wireless Settings by pressing the Wireless Button or touching the Wireless icon on the printer’s control panel. Consult the printer’s help documentation if you do not know how to access the Wireless Settings menu.
From the Wireless Settings menu select Wireless Setup Wizard. The Wireless Setup Wizard will guide you through the process of configuring your printer with the new wireless settings. Input your Wireless Network Name and Wireless Password when prompted.
You can print a Wireless Network Test report from the Wireless settings menu to confirm the printer was successfully connected to your network.
To configure your wireless settings on a printer that does not feature a Wireless Setup Wizard:
First, make sure your computer is connected to your network. You will also need a USB cable, which is temporarily used during the configuration. Be sure NOT to connect the USB cable between the computer and printer until instructed to do so by the software.
If your HP printer software is already installed on your computer Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7:
Use Start -> Programs -> HP -> <your printer model> -> Printer Setup & Software. Windows 8:
Launch the Printer Software from the Start screen (icon for the printer model name) or from the tile named for your printer.
Select (click or touch) Utilities on the top of the Printer Software screen
Select Printer Setup & Software
Also,
Link below for some useful information on getting your printer back on the network........Good Luck!

YOu need to modify the smartform not the driver program to print all lines the way you want by changing font size, reducing line length...etc..etc..
It's printing fine on the default PC printer, because, it uses windows printer driver to render the output, where as SAP network printer uses SAP printer driver to generate the printer commands, there's always difference in the output between the two drivers.

Retrieve crystal report file print settings

I have crystal reports 10 report file, in which I edited the printer settings... collate and number of copies(2) and saved it.
now i want to print it from VB6. I am using a customized print dialog form (not using the common dialog control)
I want to get the collate and number of copies settings from the rpt file. how can I get those details. any API available?

Hello Sankar ,
as you refer to the legacy technology VB6 I recommend to post this query to the [Legacy Application Development SDKs|SAP Crystal Reports - Legacy SDKs; forum.
This forum is dedicated to topics related to legacy SDKs, including the Report Designer Component (RDC), OCX, VCL, and Crystal Reports Print Engine (CRPE).
It is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.
Also, all Legacy Application Development SDKs queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.
Thanks a lot,
Falk

Print settings for ALV report

I have a ALV report output with LINE-SIZE 1023. But when I try to execute the report in background the output row is not coming in one line but in 2 lines. When we run the report in background I gave the printer as 'LOCL' (local) and displayed in spool. In the PRINT SETTINGS I don't see FORMAT for 65 X 1023. Do I need to create one? If yes, how to create it? Or if there is any other way go get all the cloumns in one row of a ALV output.
Thank you.

Hi,
Change the font on the X_65_255 paper size :-
This tip was taken from the SAP-R3 mailing list, and is by Sheila Tichener.
If you need to use a large line-size to get all your data in I know the sap version of X_65_255 for hp laser jet 4 gives an unnecessarily small font . You can change it in SPAD (or copy to Y_65_255) as follows.
Example:
Choose Device formats, Change
hplj4
x_65_255
Execute
Double click on printer initialisation
Change from:-
# select Courier 16.67 CPI normal font
e(s0p16.67h0s0b4099T
to:-
# select arial 24 cpi 15 point normal
e(s0p24h15v0s0b16602T
Also bold as follows:-
# select arial 24 cpi 15 point bold
e(s0p24h15v0s3b16602T
Also the error you get when changing a format in the output screen is only a warning and can be overidden by pressing the green tick.
If the sap standard formats don't fit your requirements you can create your own eg Y_65_170 . It seems to be the numbers in the name that somehow triggers which one the abap chooses
