Online-Printing with Documaker

Hello,
I've installed IDSServer, IDSShared and IDSClient in version 2.2 on my Windows 7 pc to play with it.
Because of that I've selected http as queuing mechanism.
Now I want to print a dummy hello world-pdf via the java messaging mechanism.
I have written a java client along the provided MsgClient-sample.
I have also found out, that I have to use the PRT request-type.
Now I get the following message:
log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (http.debug).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.

The form I created simply consists of a static label "Hello world".
What am I doing wrong?

thanks for your reply. I'm trying the SCH-request type now.
However it requires a variable named fields which filters the results as i understand its function.
Could you please give me an example how I could query all records?Sure.
You need the following attachment variables:
CONFIG=<name of the configuration which should be found in your DAP.INI>
USERID=<you should have this already>
PARTIALMATCH=Y <use this to match part of a string, example: FLO will find FLOWER and FLORIAN. Omit this value if you do not want this feature.>
FIELDS=<list of fields,comma-delimited, which you will search. These should be found in the APPIDX.DFD that is defined in your configuration.>
Example request:
CONFIG=MyConfig
USERID=DOCUMAKER
FIELDS=KEY1,KEY2,KEYID
KEY1=MyKey1
KEY2=MyKey2
KEY3=MyKeyID
REQTYPE=SCHIf you are unsure as to the fields in your appidx.dfd, or where to find the appidx.dfd, you'll need to check your INI files. The definition of the APPIDX location can be anywhere in the set of INI files used on the system, but generally it is in the FSISYS.INI. Note that if the paths are not absolute then they are relative to the execution of your system, usually the docserv or fap\mstrres\<mrl_name> directories.
DAP.INI
[Configurations]
Config=MyConfig

[Environment]
FSISYSINI = c:\some\path\fsisys.ini

[ ArcRet ]
AppIdxDfd = arc\appidx.dfdHere is a sample of the appidx.dfd, which defines the record layout of the archive:
< FIELDS >
FIELDNAME = KEY1
FIELDNAME = KEY2
FIELDNAME = KEYIDIf you just want to query all records, then omit the KEYID from the FIELDS= attachment variable. I do not recommend using that for any production application however - you will always want to limit a search as best you can to prevent open-ended queries which can be detrimental to performance.

  • HP D110 AIO printer. Prints jam when printing with wireless, but not when hooked to USB cable! HELP!

    I have a HP D110. It jams the paper when I print with wireless, but not when I use USB cable. Any ideas?

    From what you describe you are having issues printing from MS Office. Have you had trouble printing from other resources on your computer (e.g. from the internet or another program)? The first thing I am going to suggest is that we start by uninstalling and reinstalling the printer from the resources available online. 
    First if you use a USB cord, make sure to remove it (this is important). Do not plug it back in until the software directs you to. Then go through the Devices and Printers, Programs and Features and Device Manager folders and insure that all copies, files, and programs related to the printer are removed. Then as directed, restart the computer. 
    In the START menu type "%temp%" and press ENTER. Here I want you to press Ctrl+A and hit DELETE. Some of the files will not allow you to delete them, skip those files and delete the majority that allows it. 
    http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DriverDownload.jsp?prodNameId=3562006&lang=en&cc=us...
    Install that and let me know the result!

  • How can I reduce a fotobook pdf size for online printing

    Hello aperture,
    I have been creating a large customer book (33 x 28 cm) with aperture.
    I'm working with RAW datas and the fotobook has got around 150 pages.
    My online printing office accepts only PDF X3 2002 datas and I can get this with adobe acrobat X Pro.
    I print the book in aperture an save it as an Adobe PDF and than, I can save the datas as a PDF X3:2002. It works perfectly.
    My problem is that the online printing office accepts only 2 GB and my pdf, which I've printed with aperture, has got around 7 GB.
    What can I do in aperture to reduce the pdf size and get a smaller one?
    My aperture settings for Export is: 300 dpi.
    Thanks for you help,
    Best
    Andrea

    Actually in LR4 and Camera Raw 7 in Photoshop CS, you CAN create a downsampled DNG by using the Lossy Compression method of converting to DNG. In the LR 4 Export, select DNG then you have the ability to specify long dimensions or the size in Megapixels. Note, a Lossy DNG isn't un-demosiaced, it's been demosiaced but is still stored in Linear Gamma, so it's like a partially baked file, not a true unbaked raw file.
    Note, in Camera Raw 7 when you set up your save dlog, it's a bit different. You select Lossy DNG and then have a dropdown for size presets...
    Couple of things about the Lossy DNG, you SHOULD name it to distinguish between the downsampled DNG and your original DNG...you don't want to get into the situation where you overwrite your original. Also note that some things won't work totally as expected. For example, sharpening and noise reduction will be working but on a downsampled file. While the numbers will correlate, the actual effects will be a bit different because it's a downsampled file and more prone to potentially over sharpening. It all works, and the controls will work fine if you work at 100% zoom, but don't expect the high resolution your original file had.

  • Trouble printing with my HP Deskjet printer using CUPS and hplip

    tl;dr This 1,646 word post describes my frustration with CUPS and hplip. I cannot get my HP Deskjet F4400 set up with CUPS, and all the solutions I've tried don't work.
    I'm running Arch Linux ARM on my Seagate DockStar, a small ARM-based "plug computer" that I use as a home server. My printer is the HP Deskjet F4480, which is part of the HP Deskjet F4400 series.
    I previously had CUPS set up to share my printer with my home network, using hplip for the printer driver. I never upgraded CUPS or hplip because those versions worked fine, and I didn't want to break anything avoid breaking anything. The versions that I was using had to have been at least one to two years old.
    Everything was working very smoothly... until a few days ago. The drive I was running Arch Linux ARM on became corrupt, so I had to install a fresh copy of the operating system. That meant losing all of the working versions and configuration files each application I had installed, including CUPS. I thought I had a backup image of the drive, but it didn't work when I tried to restore it. (Yes, it was stupid of me not to test my backup.)
    Setting up CUPS was one of the first things that I wanted to do after reinstalling, since my family depends on the network printing functionality almost daily. Unfortunately, I could not get CUPS to work with my printer correctly. It wouldn't be able to display a list of drivers, HP's setup utility encountered an error adding it, and it threw various errors when I tried to print test pages. I ended up reading hundreds of forum posts, wiki articles, and CUPS/hplip tutorials to try to figure out how to properly set it up. I ended up spending a total of nearly ten hours trying to get the printer to print with CUPS, and it's still not working after all that work.
    I'm going to explain in this post some of the many things that I've tried so far. I just removed all of the printing packages from my system and any extra files that were left behind. I'm now going to be installing all of the packages again and documenting everything that I have been trying to do to get it to work. I'll try to include exact error messages and logs where necessary.
    1. I first found this article on the Arch Linux ARM website on how to set up a CUPS printer. I didn't really want to use webmin, but I did it anyway so that I could follow the guide. I installed all the packages mentioned except for cups-pdf, since I didn't need print to PDF support. Everything installed smoothly, and I configured CUPS and webmin to allow access to other computers on the network. I started to notice problems in the instructions - /etc/rc.d/cups was actually /etc/rc.d/cupsd, /etc/printers.conf was actually /etc/cups/printers.conf, and webmin didn't actually add anything to the printers.conf file. I uninstalled webmin at this point because I didn't need it, and I decided I wasn't going to follow that guide with incorrect information.
    2. I then tried to set up the printer on my own using the CUPS web interface listening on port 631. I clicked the Add Printer button and it switched me to the HTTPS web interface. I then logged into the root account and was presented with the list of printers. My printer was listed as "HP Deskjet F4400 series (HP Deskjet F4400 series)", so I selected it and continued. I saw a list of printer models (PPD files) ending in CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.9. There was no entry for my printer, so I tried the "HP DeskJet Series (en)" one. I set the default options and chose Maintenaince->Print test page. I then got a ridiculously simple error: "Unable to print test page: No such file or directory". How do I even know what file or directory it's referencing? I read online that it may be because I'm not in the lp group, but root is indeed in there. I saw in the error log "Avahi client failed: -26". I started dbus and avahi-daemon just in case, but I still got that silly error. I restarted cups and the same error message occured.
    3. I researched online that pretty much the only way for my printer to have a driver would be to install hplip. Before installing hplip, I uninstalled CUPS, leaving cupsd.conf but deleting printers.conf. Then I installed CUPS and hplip together, with hplip requiring foomatic-db, foomatic-db-engine, and foomatic-filters. Everything seemed to install correctly. I started CUPS again and then ran hp-setup -i to try to install my printer. I selected USB and it found my printer, hp:/usb/Deskjet_F4400_series?serial=[printer serial number here]. I entered a simple name and then was told that no PPD file was found for the printer but that I could specify one manually. There were none I could find online; everywhere it just said to install hplip. I used the find command to find "f4400" and finally found 2 compressed PPDs located at /usr/share/ppd/HP/hp-deskjet_f4400_series-hpijs.ppd.gz and /usr/share/ppd/HP/hp-deskjet_f4400_series.ppd.gz. I gunzipped both of them and pointed hpsetup to the hpijs one, knowing that I was using the hpijs one when it was working before. It told me "Description for the file: HP Deskjet f4400 Series hpijs, 3.12.6". Hooray! I selected to use it, but then setup failed: "error: Printer queue setup failed. Please restart CUPS and try again." Ugh!
    4. I restarted CUPS and went into the hp-setup process again. It gave me the same printer queue setup failed error. I don't know if these entries in the CUPS error log are related or not, but these errors relating to foomatic showed up. I restarted CUPS again and this time used the non-hpijs file with hp-setup. This one was called "Description for the file: HP Deskjet f4400 Series, hpcups 3.12.6". It failed again with the same error and the same entries in the error log. I found lots of posts online about this error, but none seemed to have a solution that would work for me. Now I tried running hp-setup in debug mode with -g. Here is what it said before the error. I then tried to Google "debug: addPrinter() returned (0, Unable to connect to CUPS server)". I saw on an Arch bug report to install dbus-python and python2-gobject, as well as create a symlink for /usr/bin/python2 to /usr/bin/python. It didn't work - same error.
    5. I then tried to add the printer to CUPS via its web interface. Now there were two listed,  HP Deskjet F4400 series (HP Deskjet F4400 series) and HP Deskjet F4400 series USB [printer serial number here] HPLIP (HP Deskjet F4400 series). So, hplip added the second one. I tried both of them, but after clicking Continue the page started to hang. I got another stupid, undescriptive error. "Unable to get list of printer drivers: Success". I saw the same foomatic errors in the error log as before. I then started reading the ArchWiki page on CUPS, located here. I tried the blacklisting usblp. I tried changing the permissions on the device node, although this starts to become ridiculous that it is even required to do that. Nothing was working; the printer installation still didn't work with hp-setup or with CUPS. Then, I found what I was looking for: the exact error I had on the wiki page! It said for "Unable to get list of printer drivers" you should "Try to remove Foomatic drivers." WTF? Foomatic is required for hplip, and hplip is required for my printer. I can't do that. Forum posts say to try that or do the permissions or usblp thing. Nothing is working.
    6. I tried various other things to get it to work, even though I knew they probably wouldn't make it any different. I copied the PPDs from hplip to another folder and uninstalled hplip and foomatic. I then added them to /usr/share/cups/model and CUPS successfully found them and set up the printer. I reinstalled hplip and foomatic since they're needed for those PPDs to function, and I tried printing a test page. It failed. I tried using the CUPS web interface to modify the printer driver; nope, that wasn't going to happen: "Unable to get list of printer drivers: Success".
    That concludes the list of some of the things that I have tried so far. I really want to get this printer working, but right now I am really fed up with CUPS and hplip. It's things like this that make me hesitant to recommend Linux to anyone else. So much manual configuration and tinkering the inner workings of things is required to do tasks that would be quite simple on Windows. For example, I can plug this printer into my Windows 7 machine right now, wait for the driver to automatically be installed and configured, and have a test page in my hands less than a minute after I first plugged in the USB cable. I can share the printer with any other Windows machine on the network by checking a single checkbox.
    But back to my problem with getting the printer to work on my DockStar. I just uninstalled all of CUPS, hplip, and foomatic again and removed all of their files. I can walk through things to try that you guys post and then give you full logs of everything - just give me exactly what to do and install and the exact order to do it all in. I just don't know what to do at this point and am so frustrated with this that I'm about to give up.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this printer working? I know this was a very long post, but I just wanted to explain everything that I've tried and how nothing worked. I really hope that we can figure this out so that I'll be able to print, and maybe it'll solve a few other people's problems with their printers, too. Thanks for reading, and thanks in advance for the help.

    Had similar issue with my HP Deskjet F4500C All in one printer, here's what I did:
    make sure these packages are installed or install them
    pacman -S cups cups-pdf hplip pyqt3 python2-pyqt
    pacman -S system-config-printer-gnome
    rc.d cups start
    To add device and install hp driver:
    1. Run ‘hp-setup’ as root.
    2. Click ‘Show Advanced Options’ button and check-enable ‘Manual Discovery’.
    3. Enter IP address 192.168.59.63 in the ‘…device ID…’ entry and click ‘Next’ to install driver.
    run system-config-printer as root, to add printer
    # system-config-printer
    click “Add”, Select Device -> Network Printer -> input the IP address of the printer such as “192.168.1.3″, click “Find” -> “Process”
    you should be ok from here, if not some further steps:
    If you encounter the following error:
    File “/usr/share/system-config-printer/newprinter.py”, line 1531, in getNetworkPrinterMakeModel
    debugprint (host + “: ” + args)
    TypeError: cannot concatenate ‘str’ and ‘list’ objects
    You should comment out the error line at 1531 of newprinter.py, and then continue to add the printer.
    4). Finally, you can run hp-check to see what problems exists for the printer.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 print with depleted cartridges

    The HP Officejet Pro 8600 User Guide says: 
    "The printer can operate with one or more depleted cartridges. However, printing with depleted cartridges slows the printer and affects the quality of printed documents. If the black cartridge is depleted, blacks are not as dark. If a color cartridge is depleted, output is in grayscale. When possible, replace the depleted cartridge. Do not remove the depleted cartridge until you have a new ink cartridge available to replace. "
    But the printer does not print with an depleted yellow cartridges. Do I have to change some settings? Or how can I make the printer print my document without replaceing the yellow cartridges?

    What exactly is your printer model? The verbage of the above is that for an IPH printer (with a black and a tri-color cartridge or perhaps a black, tri-color and photo cartridge), it does not apply to printers with separate ink supplies and printheads.  Can you give a link to the manual online, or scan the page and post it here for your printer?  
    I can find several manuals online but not the one that I have and I don'tknow how to upload anything here. I have copied and pasted the relevant information from "my" manual, which has a black cover, says Officejet Pro in green, and says 8600 User Guide in white. I can see the other information in other manuals which explains about printing with LOW ink but not with NO ink. If you can tell me how to upload "my" manual, I'd be happy to do so.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus - N911g - refuses to print with an exhausted cartridge (yellow)

    Hi,
    I owned this printer some months ago, and I have already substituted the black cartridge some times ago.
    In fact, I usually use the b&w option to print my documents, and I use very little to no colors, instead.
    Before deciding to buy this printer I had read the printer guide, which reports (translated from Italian):
    [Printing with one or more cartridges exhausted]
    The printer can work with one or more cartridges exhausted. However, printing with exhausted cartridges slows the printing process down and lowers the quality of the documents printed. If the black cartridge is exhausted, blacks are not going to be really dark. If a color cartridge is exhausted, the result is in the grey scale. As soon as possible, replace the exhausted cartridge. Don't remove the exhausted cartridge before you can replace it with a new one. [...]
    (screenshot attached)
    The downloadable user-guide reports (no translation):
    [Color cartridge very low on ink]
    To temporarily print using black ink only, click Cancel Print and then re-send the print job. The
    Use black ink only? message appears before the job prints. The empty cartridges will need to be
    replaced soon.
    (screenshot attached)
    So, when I decided to go for this printer, knowing I substantially use black only for my studies and my work, I did take care of reading the entire printer guide and look for these specific official declarations by HP on the printer functionalities.
    Additionally, I took care of disabling any HP protection and pages control on the cartridges before installing them, using the printer menu.
    Today, instead, I've found out the printer won't print with an exhausted yellow cartridge. This is what the message window says (translated freely, again, from Italian):
    [Exhausted cartridge]
    HP 951 SETUP Yellow
    Replace the cartridges in the list to be able to print.
    HP advises not to remove the cartridge until you have a replacement one ready for installation.
    Buttons are: [Buy online...] [Cancel printing] [?]
    (screenshot attached)
    [?] leds to the words I've reported earlier.
    I still have the "print just with the black cartridge" option enabled.
    I tried cancelling the print and sending the print job again multiple times, as it is described in the guide, but no "Use black ink only?" message appears.
    Before invoking and thinking to the "fraud", I ask, how am I going to be able to print, then?

    The manual indicates the printer can temporarily use black only once a color cartridge is low.  Once the cartridge is depleted it will need to be replaced, otherwise damage to the printed may occur.
    HP and other printer manufacturers have different printer technologies for different needs.  
    Some have printheads built into the ink cartridges.  These printers can typically print with one or more of the colors completely empty, or even with color or black (but not both) cartridges removed. The Deskjet 6980 series is an example. 
    Other printers have separate ink supplies and replaceable printheads.  An example would be the Officejet 8600. The printhead in these printers can be replaced if they are damaged by running the printhead with colors out.  Some of these printers will allow printing with a color out, other will not.  If the printer is run without ink in one or more colors the printer may be damaged, but the user may be able to recover without having to send the printer for service.
    Other printers have permanent printheads.  To run these without some ink in all the colors would risk causing damage to the printhead due to clogs, air ingested in the printheadvor burned out printhead firing resistors. The Photosmart 3310 series is an example of this type of printer. For printers with fixed printheads this could require service to get the printer to print properly again when the ink is finally replaced.  
    The document here describes how ink is used.  While the document is written for HP Inkjet printers the same principles apply to inkjet printers from other manufacturers.

  • Can't print with airport usb connection only

    i have spent the last 3 days searching for help to fix my problem - PLEASE HELP!!!
    using:
    imac osx 10.6.8
    canon image class mf8350cdn
    airport extreme base station
    I cannot seem to print wirelessly with my imac using just the USB connection on the airport router.  I can print with the printer locally when it's "hardwired" directly to a usb on the back of the imac.  I can print if i connect a cat5 network cable from the printer to the airport. i can print wirelessly with a PC when the printer is connected with a usb to the airport.  i just can't do this with my imac via the usb connection on the router.  my error message is a Canon CMFP Printer Driver telling me printer is not responding - check the power.....try sending again.
    I believe i have tried everything!!!  While i am newer to mac and not the greatest at networking, i have manipulated every setting to match up with all of the online help i can get (trying to not have to send this question!!) and no luck.
    i have deleted printers and jobs, reinstalled everything, i changed the cable, downloaded the latest drivers from canon and apple, i updated the firmware on the printer. i even reinstalled my osx and confirmed all is updated on my imac.
    i don't want to scan or fax this way - so that is not my issue -- it's just plain old printing using that usb port.
    i need all of my other ports on the airport for other things, so i cannot sacrific this one for printing - i just want to use the usb as my printer connection to print with all of the machines i have.
    hope my question makes sense and that someone will take the time to give a reply.
    thanks!!
    p.s. the closest discussion that matches my issue seems to be this one:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/12367897#12367897

    The most comprehensive set of troubleshooting instructions for printing problems involving Airport printers is found at:

    It is possible your printer simply cannot be made to work in this manner, and is more often than not a problem with multifunction printers.

  • Using a Zebra LP-2844 Printer with Paypal/eBay?

    As we are trying to streamline our online business, we purchased a label printer with thermal cabiblities to save on ink. Little did we know that it would be a gigantic nightmare. Our first expeirence was with a Brother printer, which turned out to be not compatible with eBay. Decided with the Zebra after reading some great reviews, and it turns out it isn't natively supported by Zebra either.  However, I have read of people that are using it successfully.
    To install it, I just plugged it in and used the Native Zebra EPL2 drivers that are included with Mavericks OS.
    However, now that I'm trying to actually print something with Paypal, I can't get the labels to print correctly. It won't all fit on one label, even if I change the setting to equal the label size of 4 x 6.
    I did some research about CUPS, but am unsure if I'm supposed to use it to install ADDITIONAL drivers, or if it's just a way to tweak settings that aren't available in system preferences. I changed the default setting to 4 x 6 within CUPS, but it still doesn't fit on the labels in Paypal.
    I've spent days now trying to get printing set up more efficently, and cannot figure this out. It is a huge nightmare.
    Any suggestions (is there ANY native supported thermal printer that works with eBay paypal?), should I use Endicia, is that a better option? Should I try installing additional drivers, if so from where? I'm just stumped at this point and in a little over my head.

    You might have to partition your drive on your MAC and add Windows OS as a second operating system, then add Google Chrome to Windows. I beleive you have to reboot to go between the two OS's.

  • Low Resolution when uploading to online printing service

    When I upload photos from iPhoto to an online printing service (Walmart, Costco, Shutterfly) photos show up as low resolution. When I take the picture I use the higest resolution. Are there any suggestions on how to rectify this situation? I have uploaded and printed before with no problem. Do I have to use the memory stick directly to the site or change settings?
    My camera is a Sony DSC-W55.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    How are you going about uploading?
    Are you digging the files out of the DATA folder in the iPhoto Library Folder? If so, you're using the thumbnails that iPhoto uses for display purposes.
    There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
    1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    I suggest you use the File -> Export option and export the pics to the desktop. There iPhoto will make a copy. Upload that, and when the upload is finished you can trash the copy on the desktop - your original is safe in iPhoto.

  • How can I add header on printing with Numbers

    How can I add header on printing with Numbers? The previous version use to have it and I cannot find it in the new one ...

    Hi Tanya,
    Glad to hear that you found how to edit page headers and footers in Numbers 3.2. I agree that Help in Numbers 3 is woeful. No searchable PDF to download and use offline. All is online (one page at a time) and we need to know the terms we are looking for before we look.
    The first HelpDesk:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQHX-SjgQvQ
    For printing to paper where layout is important, I use Numbers '09 (Numbers 2.3) with its Print View. But it is orphanware. As the name suggests, there has not been a major overhaul since 2009. With that in mind, it is a useful version to hang onto while we hope and wait (and provide feedback to Apple) for something in future versions of Numbers 3.x to provide better layout capability.
    Indeed, each new update of Numbers 3.x has restored more of the old features while adding new features that are enhancements over Numbers '09. Many of the Numbers 3 enhancements reflect long-awaited wishes through this forum, and were passed on by Numbers Feedback to Apple. So it seems that Apple does take heed of feedback.
    In the meantime, I enjoy the charm of Numbers '09 whilst exploring the new features of Numbers 3.
    What has been GAINED in Numbers 3 is here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5473882?start=75&tstart=0
    (Very long thread because it started with Numbers 3.0, and enhancements have continued through Numbers 3.2).
    Hints on workarounds in Numbers 3 is here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/23622372#23622372
    Some workarounds are no longer needed, but what amazes me is how many Numbers '09 features (the so-called "lost" features) were not lost; the settings have simply been moved. Moreover, many features such as margin settings carry over with a Numbers '09 document or template into Numbers 3.
    Hints for layout on screen before printing to paper:
    Try Alignment Guides and Rulers as suggested here:
    Print View workarounds
    Use a layout guide:

  • Online printing services and that built into Aperture

    Hi,
    I regularly have pictures printed by a well known high street photo store here in the UK but just recently I've been disappointed with some of the results.
    They're coming back too dark and with a yellow cast even though the original files look fine when viewed on several different modern monitors, some calibrated, some not. I even run my monitor at minimum brightness when preparing them to try to simulate how dark they will look when printed using this service. I also add much more exposure to some pictures in Aperture to the point where they start to look washed out and even then they come back a bit dark.
    I'm therefore looking to find an alternative service. Can anyone recommend a reliable and affordable online printing service that produces results close to the electronic versions viewed on their monitor?
    Has anyone tried the built in "Order Prints" option in Aperture? How did it go?
    I briefly tried to use this option last night but for some reason it didn't recognise my Apple ID which I thought was the same as I use to log into these forums ie "d60Dave" in my case. Am I mistaken?
    Regards,
    Dave.

    I second that about photobox. I've used them for 2 years or so - never had to send anything back. I've been pleased with the results for prints, posters and small booklets. online service only

  • Uploading photos to online print companies

    I upload lots of photos for printing from iPhoto to various online printing companies, mainly photo box. They use an aurigma uploader. I have installed Lion  and despite having reinstalling the java as requested I can no longer drag and drop files into the uploader. When I try to it simply opens the file in Safari, I am probably missing something really simple, can anyone help?

    There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    To upload to MySpace or any site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser. Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
    Also, for 10.5 users: If you use the extended Open or Attach dialogue (with Column View) you can scroll to the bottom of the Shortcuts and find the Media browser there. Select any pic you want from there.

  • Export for online printing service question...

    Hi all...I am new to all this exporting business so please bear with me. In the past if i wanted prints made i just burnt them to a disk and took the disk to a local photo lab to have printed. So the question is when using an online printing service such as Mpix, would i just export versions as original sized jpegs and send them to the printing service and that's it or do i also have to mess with the dpi setting? I noticed the default dpi setting is 72 for all the export presets. Any help here would be appreciated. Thanks in advance...Dave

    hello, dave
    quote: "when using an online printing service such as Mpix, would i just export versions as original sized jpegs and send them to the printing service and that's it or do i also have to mess with the dpi setting?"
    when someone else is doing your printing always ask them how they want your Versions delivered first prior to burning the DVD, for example, 16bit TIFF, 8bit TIFF, colorsync (color mangement), dpi...there is an excellent tutorial/information on this in Aperture's help menu "Photography Fundamentals"
    what i do is edit the photograph by softproofing to the printer used. in Aperture select the Proofing Profile & then Onscreen Proofing
