OES Linux, Print Solutions

Hello all,
I am currently using Netware 6.5 SP5(OES Netware SP2), and wandering what
print solutions are available for the OES Linux platform. Specifically, is
NPDS available on OES Linux? If so is it the primary solution or is there
a different solution?
A direction to documentation would be more helpful. Any assistance is
appreciated.
Regards,
Matt Rigor

Matt,
NDPS isn't really state of the art on NW6.5.
iPrint is, as well on Netware as on OES Linux. Check the manuals.

  • How to use Linux Print queue in client_text_io.fopen to print from Windows

    We have a forms application deploed on LINUX (Oracle application server 10g).
    I have to print a file from local windows PC to a linux Print Queue from forms
    I have the following code
    PROCEDURE file_to_printer (i_filename_output IN VARCHAR2
    ,i_network_printer IN VARCHAR2) IS
    l_line VARCHAR2(2000);
    l_fileid_output client_text_io.file_type;
    l_fileid_print client_text_io.file_type;
    BEGIN
    l_fileid_output := client_text_io.fopen (i_filename_output,'R');
    l_fileid_print := client_text_io.fopen (i_network_printer,'W');
    WHILE 1 = 1 LOOP
    client_text_io.get_line (l_fileid_output, l_line);
    client_text_io.put_line (l_fileid_print, l_line);
    END LOOP;
    EXCEPTION
    WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
    client_text_io.fclose (l_fileid_output);
    client_text_io.fclose (l_fileid_print);
    END file_to_printer;
    Everything works fine if I use a windows printer like \\machine\printer.
    I want to use a Linux printer and specified the print queue as
    \\machine\print_queue_name. It's not working
    and I get error ORA-302000 on the following line
    l_fileid_print := client_text_io.fopen (i_network_printer,'W');
    and if I give only the queue name no error but it's not printing.
    Could you please tell me how to use a Linux/Unix print queue in this situation

    the simplest way is to edit the interface file (look in /etc/lp/interfaces for existing printers). Each script is
    run per print job where stdin has your print data, and stdout is going to your print device. You can just
    send the output to a file instead (assuming you can create a file in the windows directory from the solaris
    box). If it's a network share, you could use smbclient.

  • Printing Solution

    Hi
    Im looking for a printing solution that will have a few printers on various floors. Preferably a single make. Then I would like to deploy one printer(driver) to all workstations or user. 
    For a user to retrieve their printers they will need to authenticate to a printer(it can be any printer) either with their AD credentials,via a passcode, biometrics or even a QR code that they can scan with their phones. 
    So that a user can retrieve their prints from any printer but only print to one printer.
    Do you have any ideas or solutions on how I can implement this? Even some products I can trial or investigate etc. 
    Thank You.

    Hi,
    the vendor you choose will have to be someone that can live up to your requirements. So get the requirements stated in a document and ask your local supplier for assistance. Or contact a vendor you like and ask them for a discussion of your requirements
    and a quote if they can fulfill them.
    When it comes to secure printing it sounds to me that you most likely will be able to go with whatever solution the vendor has. Most vendors have a solution that only works on their equipment and a solution that works on multi-vendor fleets. Wether you choose
    single- or multi-vendor support is up to you: if you do not plan to change vendor ever go with the chep single-vendor.
    For a comparison of solutions see here:
    http://www.quocirca.com/reports/624/closing-the-print-security-gap
    Older report but still fairly up to date. Minor changes in the market (like SafeCom sell-out) and Lexmark/NSi/others provided new solutions - but most seems unrelevant in your case.
    Hope this is usefull.

  • SOLUTION_MANAGER - printing solution documents

    Hello,
    how to print solution documents into one file in transaction SOLUTION_MANAGER.
    Like the blueprint and configuration documents could be printed in transactions SOLAR01 and SOLAR02 as Generate Blueprint Document and Generate Configuration Guide.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    There is no way to simply generate a compilation of the solution documents, you may perhaps create a project just for this and assign the desired solution to the project and then generate a blueprint.
    Kind regards, Fabricius

  • Building a custom web-to-print solution. Where to begin?

    I am a web developer in an organization that deals with creating books. They don't actually print and distribute the books, but they create the book designs in InDesign where they then send them to the printers to be printed and distributed.
    The organization is now interested in having users customize portions of books online (logo, certain text, particular images, etc), to be automatically sent to a printer and then distributed. The organization realizes that there are a number of web-to-print solutions that exist, but they are very much interested in creating an in-house, fully customized solution (for a number of reasons, they didn't find the other solutions satisfactory).
    Essentially, the desired online experience for the user would be to go through a series of steps, filling in text inputs and uploading images to replace the templated portions of the InDesign file. Further, the user would see a preview of the inputted changes on the screen.
    A lot of the burden would be on me developing the software necessary to make this work. I have a lot of experience in a number of programming languages, but have very little experience in the web-to-print industry (as well as little experience in InDesign).
    If we were to create a fully customized web-to-print solution in house, where would I begin in finding out how best to implement a solution like this? If one with experience could provide a list of high-level steps needed for implementation or even a bullet list of items to research, I would be extremely appreciative.
    Note that we are not interested in actually printing the books, but sending the fully created print-ready design files to the printers for print and distribution.

  • Sharing Linux printer with Mac

    P4 with Debian Etch (testing), kernel 2.6.12-1-686,
    Gnome desktop and USB attached printer and scanner
    PMac G5 running OS X Tiger (10.4.4)
    I've got my AppleTalk/zeroconf LAN setup working for file sharing - with netatalk and task-howl on the Linux box.
    When I had my printer connected to my Mac I could print to it from the Linux box with just CUPS whether the Mac AppleTalk connection with the Linux box was active or not. Then I decided I wanted more desk space around my Mac and moved the printer to my Linux box. Now I can print from my Linux box, but I can't seem to figure out how to print to it from my Mac :-P
    For once I'm finding the printer setup on my Mac the more difficult I've tried it outside the AppleTalk connection by simply supplying an address of 192.168.2.69:631 and though the printer definition is accepted, actual printing says the printer is busy. I've also tried it with the AppleTalk connection up, again supplying the same address, with the same results. I've also tried variations of addresses without success.
    I'm sure I'm tripping over the obvious but what??? Is there a way to specify the Linux printer from my Mac outside AppleTalk? Or if I need to through AppleTalk, do I need to further edit my Linux netatalk setup - maybe the papd.conf???
    If I do need to (somehow) use the Linux printer with AppleTalk, there is another lesser question. How do I ensure that the howl tools (mDNSResponder for advertising) start at login like afpd and atalkd. Following is the mDNSBrowse info if it's any help.
    I'm keeping notes on the detail steps in order to share the setup with anyone else they might help, so if you want to see the detail steps I've taken so far I can send along the text file or put it up on my dotMac account for download.
    Thanks,

    Hi Lee,
       Of course I don't mind your sharing my instructions; the more testing we have the better. Did you not have to do any configuration of netatalk and the howl-tools? I know it's zeroconf but I've never dealt with an app that didn't require some configuration. Well, maybe the dream is true...
       In theory my instructions are symmetric. The Mac's /etc/cups/client.conf file has a ServerName line. Of course, whether or not Apple's print mechanism will honor it is another matter. I can't test it but I would think it worth a try. I would think that getting printing to work from Mac to Linux would require that the Linux server be setup to share its printer via CUPS as I described.
       Once the Linux box is sharing its printer via CUPS, here is how I would guess you should add it to the Mac via the Printer Setup Utility.
    In the "Printers" menu, select "Add Printer...". The Printer Browser dialog will open. Click on the "IP Printer" button, the second button at the top left. Beside "Protocol:" select "Internet Printing Protocol - IPP". That is the protocol CUPS uses and points to port 631 which is what you want for a printer shared via CUPS. In the address line naturally you want to put the local address of Linux box. Under "Queue:" you can put the name you chose when you setup the Linux printer to work with CUPS. However, assuming that you only have one print queue, it should work to leave that blank.
    Below that is another group of fields to fill in. I'm not sure how important they are. I am guessing here since I haven't tested it but I would guess that "Name:" and "Location:" are for display purposes only and that what you put there doesn't really matter. The "Print Using:" menu is another matter. I'm sure that the driver resides on the machine to which the printer is attached so specifying a driver on the client doesn't really make sense to me if you're using IPP. I know that in a purely Linux environment, all I have to specify is the ServerName so no driver should be necessary. I would think that "Auto Select" would be the best choice if you have to make one but I would try not doing anything with it if you can. If neither of those work, try selecting the actual make of the printer. Since you had it connected to the Mac once, I assume that you actually do have a driver. I just don't see why you would need it.
       Setting up the printer to work with CUPS was the only thing that I really had to research when setting up our Linux lab and server. I think the only important decision was the driver. The printer that our Linux server uses is itself a JetDirect network printer so the Device URI was actually important as well but the printer currently connected to my Mac (OS X configured CUPS automatically) has a Device URI of file:///dev/null so it can't be very important for a local printer. However, if the Linux box has a device file for the local printer, you may have to use that as the Device URI. (with file:// in front of it)
       If you've set the cups.conf file as I described in my instructions, (allow the Mac access to <Location />) you can actually configure the CUPS queue via the web from the Mac. Just aim your browser to http://<Linux_IP>:631/printers and click on the "Add Printer" link at the bottom left if it isn't already listed. If it is already listed then maybe Linux configures local printers automatically too. Otherwise you may have to click on the "Configure Printer" link.

  • OES Linux DHCP Management Quesiton

    Previously, under Netware, I could use the DNS/DHCP console to match ip to machine hostname; however, I'm noticing that I do not have this ability under OES Linux's DHCP management utility. I looked in the leases file on the linux server but to my dismay it only displays the mac address.
    What are my options?

    Your only option (as far as I am aware--and if I understand you correctly) is to go with OES 2 SP 3, follow TID 7006450, and that is about it. The information is coming from the leases file itself. Unfortunately, you can't get 100% of what you were used to on NetWare on OES. Many things have been ported over, but some things have not.

    Then you will not be able to print directly to it from the iPad. The iPad's only way of connecting to a network is via a wireless signal.There are apps in the apps store that facilitate connecting to a printer by way of a computer. You might explore that.

  • Mobile printing solutions for iPad

    Hello I would like to see if anyone can help with this...We are trying to equip our service employees with printing capabilities while they are out in the field.  I know that it seems that the best way to go is with utilizing the air print feature of the iPad, however looking at the supported printers (found on the apple website) i dont see any that seem all that "portable" in regards to size and weight.  How are others handling their printing needs on the go?
    Thank you very much!!
    Clark 

    looking to do the same thing.
    Thanks to all who contributed to this thread/
    HP offers something called mobile printing solutions.
    apparently at Kinkos and other selected locations, a person can send thier docs to be printed rom thie i pad.
    i downloaded the HP mobile printing app, but the local Kinkos is some distance away, so i have not yet tried it.
    Bersides, there would be a cost per page.  for printing.
    sending e mail attachments to companies with printing capabilities i have tried.
    Staples offers this serivce, but I sent some docs and they had to be adjusted and modified by the Staples printing department to enable correct printing on a page, so that particular abenue may be out.
    ( i made the document using Noteworthy app and sent it to Dropbox and sent the resulting PDF from dropbox to Staples, who printed the test, but told me it requireed page modification..
    I have no idea why as the page i had worked up into a PDF had a standard word processing format.

  • Moving a NetWare iPrint installation to an OES/Linux cluster

    Hi folks,

    I am confused with your comments. If you have a user running Windows XP
    with the 4.91 windows client, he will have a login popup. The Login window
    will ask for the username and password. If you hit the advanced button, it
    will show you the tree, context, and server fields. Currently you will
    have your tree, context and server from your previous login populated. If
    you want to log into the OES Linux server, you can change the server field
    to point to the OES Linux server's IP or server name. There is nothing
    different when accessing the NSS volumes on a OES Linux from a windows
    workstation.
