Ppd required for postscript driver for frequency lpi print changes

Hello,I need a PPD to support my postscript driver for frequency lpi document print changes.I am running hp pav dv9000 with hp laserjet p2015n
and illustrator cs3,have tried so many things but still belive it must be something so simple either the wrong PPD or a setting in cs3.I can offer further information if anyone can help.

Locate the PPD-file by a windows search for *.PPD.
Open by WordPad and and check by reading the header whether
it's the correct one.
A PPD can have several names (file name, internal name,
nickname, for instance, but all are in plain ASCII).
When the PPD is identified, then print the relevant parts
about screens (Lpi,dpi) on paper.
Use in the settings only Lpi/dpi combinations which are
mentioned in the PPD.
I'm not sure whether other combinations are simply ignored
or replaced by the nearest parameters in the PPD.
This may depend on the printer.
I had tested 1200dpi toner printers by 90/100/120Lpi.
The results were different, accurate measurement was not
possible.
90Lpi delivers less geometric resolution, but more levels.
Good for smooth gradients, as in portraits.

  • Settings required for including changes in data in a transport request.

    Hi All,
    I need the settings required for saving ths data changed in a database table into a customizing request.
    Kindly let me know the steps involved in the process.
    To elaborate:
    I have a maintenance screen for a DB table.
    Whenever a user creates/changes data to/from the DB table , using the maintenance screem, the data should be saved into a customizing TR.
    Regards-
    Harmeet Singh,

    Hi there,
    Any config change will be saved under a transport request TR. Also tables are of 2 types: Customizing table & application table.
    Changes / new entry in a customized table are transportable. You will gte a TR when the customized table values are changed / new entry.
    But application table entry / changes are non transportable. You willnot get a TR when saving the data.
    To know it, go to SE11 --> give the table name --> display --> attributes --> Delivery class. Delivery class A is application table, C is customizing table.
    Also some standard tables like MARA, VBAK are not allowed to maintain. If a table is allowed to be maintained, table maintaience allowed is checked in the above.
    Regards,

  • PPD, PS, or UFRII driver for Canon Printers (C5035)

    I admit posting this here is a little bit out of frustration, but getting support from Canon is horrible.  We have an imageRunner Advance C5035 witha fiery controller.  I am unsure what driver we should be using - PPD, PS, or UFRII.  There's little information on the support page on which one to choose.
    I was told recently I had to get the separate fiery controller driver from EFI (http://w3.efi.com) which I did.  I installed the newest driver for Mavericks from Canon and the printer just prints lots of pages with one line of garbled characters at the top.
    Any of you with Canon enterprise printers have any ideas?
    If I use the latest driver I get an icon that most resembles our multifunction printer.  If I use an older version, the icon looks more like an old desktop laser printer.

    PAHU wrote:
    The driver "Canon iR-ADV C5000s-B1 PSV1.0US" with the Fiery Features menu is the correct driver. But I did expect you to have a different icon, as EFI has updated their drivers and now use a printer icon with their logo. I will post an image of that icon when I get to work later today.
    As for the drivers that do not have the Fiery Features menu, they are the Canon drivers for the internal Canon controller in the imageRUNNER copiers. When you selected to add and saw the two models after entering 5035 as the filter, the one listed with PS in the name is the Postscript driver and the other one is the UFRII driver. The UFRII driver does not work at all with the imagePASS controller, as you have found. And the Canon PS driver, even though it is Postscript and the imagePASS supports Postscript, is not compatible. So you must use the Canon iR-ADV C5000s-B1 PSV1.0US driver to print to the ADV C5035 that has an imagePASS-B1 attached.
    It sounds like you are able to print fine using the B1 driver. Do you have an issue with using this driver?
    No I don't.  I've had so many various issues with Canon drivers that I sought to use the latest driver and was dumbfounded why I can't use the latest 4.2.0 with OS X Mavericks.  So it seems that the only working driver is the version 2 one, an older one.  Some people in the office oddly have only had success using the OS X generic printer driver; again why I was hoping to get this newest one working or rather trying to figure out why it's not.
    Here's the icons I have - tope one is older version 2 driver that works.  Bottom is version 4.2.0 driver that doesn't work properly.
    Thanks anyway.

  • Postscript Driver for Windows 7 64 bit

    Hi, I'm running Adobe Pagemaker 7 in Windows 7 64 Bit which i think in itself is somewhat remarkable!
    The problem i'm having is with installing the Postscript driver so that i can export the Pagemaker files as .PDFs.
    The driver on the disc will not install properly, several error messages.
    I've gone to the Adobe site and downloaded what looks like the latest driver - winsteng - Adobe - PostScript printer drivers : For Windows but it won't install -  I'm hoping that someone in the Community can help me with this.
    Thank You

  • Umi 7774 required for ni drives?

    i am designing a motion control system using 3 stepper motors (ni Nema 23) and correspondingly 3 ni P70360 drives. Is a umi 7774 required to connect these to the 4 axes pci motion controller card?  (i'm confused as its description on the ni site says that it is required for 3rd party drives BUT in the discussions i've read a lot of people have used umi 7774 with ni drives )
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hello aks, 
    Yes, you will need to purchase and use our Universal Motion Interface (UMI) 7774 board in order to connect the three drives/motors to the motion controller card. 
    It may have been confusing because we do explicitly say that it is required for 3rd party drives, but not necessarily required for our drives. Having said that, the vast majority of customers use the UMI board because it eliminates the need for custom cables, and makes it far easier to connect to more than one axis. 
    Here are some links that may provide more detail and could prove to be helpful.

  • Need to make # of periods and frequency required for certain prod category

    We have a requirement to make the # of periods and frequency fields required for a certain product category. I know I need to use a field validation for this but my issue is that the product category and product name fields are non-editable. I tried putting the validation on the product ID field but it is not working properly. It still throws the error even when values are entered and regardless of the category. Here is the expression I am trying to use:

    You can add the read-only token ($RO$) after any of the segments in the list. For example, the ($RO$) designator below sets Segment1 in structure code 1 to be read-only:

  • USB Recording - requirements for the external USB drive

    What are the requirements for the external USB drive to be recognised by the TV?
    I've tried two now, which can both be seen by the TV to show media, but neither are recognised by the TV to be used as USB Recording space.

    Hi,
    I have a similar question.
    I have a 40L6353 and I cannot seem to playback anything recorded onto USB.
    I have tried a large 500 Gb Toshiba (USB powered) drive and 2 or 3 others such as an 8 Gb SanDisk and a smaller capacity non branded 500 Mb stick.
    All of the above I have formatted in the TV. When I press record the pop-up staes that recording has started and when I press stop it asks me to confirm. When I go to the recorded list it shows the files but says that they are an unsupported file format!!
    I can play videos and music transferred to another Toshiba 500 Gb drive by PC.
    I have also tested the sticks and they pass the 2 on-screen tests and I believe when a stick is inserted I can pause live TV.
    Does anyone have any ideas?
    I have been trying to get this to work for over a week - if there is a fault I will need to go back to the vendor but I want to be sure it isn't operator error.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Hard drive "does not meet the requirements" for system updates

    Hi,
    I'm running 10.2 and I'm trying to update my computer to the more recent version, except that I've gone through the update downloads on this site and anything higher than 10.3 tell me I need to run 10.3 to run it. When I tried to upgrade to 10.3, I was told that I "cannot install this software on this disk. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update". What does that mean and how do I rectify the problem? Thank you very much in advance.
    - Jen

    Hi Kappy! I have a similar problem: I had a problem in the past and had to re-install the system. I now have a previous sytem folder on my mac which I do not dare touch. I used to have a later version than 10.3.3 (I cannot remember which). I am now trying to update with the 10.3.9 combo update (just bought a new ipod) and I get the famous "does not meet the requirements" message. I have repaired permissions and done Onyx maintenance - still nothing. I wonder whether somehow the installer detects that there is already some newer component installed and does not want to re-install. I am awfully frustrated... Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Kernel requirements for HPLIP (not working) [SOLVED]

    My printer (connected to the network through my router with a static ip address) used to work fine with HPLIP and CUPS. When I last tested, I was (and am) using a custom-compiled zen kernel; the relevant modules that I compiled (separately, not into the kernel) are plip, ppdev, and parport. I am guessing that it is a combination of package upgrades and my custom kernel that is causing the problem below:
    My printer is detected by CUPS, and I can see it on localhost:631. When I send jobs to it, it begins "processing" them, then hangs on a (to-print) page and I see the message
    /usr/lib/cups/backend/hp failed
    I deleted the printer from CUPS and re-added using
    sudo hp-setup
    The process goes just fine, with hp-setup only throwing a warning about how dbus must be running for the PC to fax (with which I am not concerned).
    When I run hp-testpage, I get this:

  • "The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed..."

    I realize my explanation of my problem is long-winded, so if you want a shortened version, here it is:
    I've followed all the instructions trying nearly everything, and no matter what I do, iTunes gives me the error saying: "The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPod's software." My G5 iPod (60GB) works on two other computers (both without any music on them), so I assume there something wrong with my computer and not the iPod itself.
    Now for the long-winded story of the last eight hours of my life...
    I just got the Generation-5 iPod Video (60GB) a today and I'm having problems already. I followed the instructions and installed the iPod software and then plugged in my iPod (iTunes has been on my computer for a while now). I was expecting iTunes to open after plugging in the iPod, but my device manager only detected and installed "a new device". I manually opened iTunes and got an error saying: "The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPod's software."
    After re-installing the iPod software and iTunes, and restarting my computer countless times, I came looking for help here. I found this page, which seemed to outline my problem exactly. My computer recognizes the iPod as a drive, but iTunes won't have anything to do with it. I have all the symptoms outlined in the heading, so I hoped to solve my problem there. I followed the instructions step-by-step, and after the final restart, I open iTunes to get the same exact error message.
    I decided to determine whether there was a problem with my iPod or if it was my computer. I plugged my iPod into my uncles's powerbook, and got to the point where I can name and configure my iPod. I expected it to work flawlessly on a Mac (which it did) but there is no way for me to continue using a Mac (after tomorrow) for my iPod. This formatted the iPod for a Mac, so I went to another (different from the original) Windows computer, clean of any iTunes and iPod software, and followed the instructions exactly as they're supposed to be followed. After the installations, I plugged in my iPod, and although iTunes didn't open, I was able to format back to Windows and name my iPod (a step in the right direction). I should note that my (anti-iPod) computer is a Windows XP Pro, and the working one is Windows XP Home Edition. This was all well and good, until I remembered there was no music on this computer. So my iPod is completely working there, but there isn't anything I can do with it.
    Next, I came back here and browsed around the discussion boards, hoping to find somebody with a similar problem to mine. There seems to be alot of errors concerning iTunes not recognizing the iPod, but none of the solutions I tried worked for me, including changing the drive letter. I get the "iPod Service Error" while trying to restore to factory settings through iPod updater.
    Of course, I could transfer all 32GB of music from one computer to another, but the second (working) computer isn't mine and I won't have access to it in a couple months. It would be most convenient if I could get my iPod working on my own computer. Any help would be appreciated, especially from somebody who has solved this problem or know how to solve this problem.
    P.S.
    Here are some other minor details that my be important, but I didn't feel they were worth including.
    - My brother has his iPod mini set up on my computer, under a different user login. He gets the same error once in a while, but re-installing iTunes always solves the problem for him. I had him try solving my problem his way, but nothing worked for him either.
    - My computer is an AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3200+, 512MB RAM with Windows XP Pro SP2 installed. My internal hard drive is partitioned, using the letters C, D and H (C being my system files, D used for recovery files and H for my applications and games). My E drive is used as a DVD/CD-ROM Drive, and drives F and G are reserved for virtual drives (none have been running during this entire ordeal). My external hard drive uses the letter I, and I manually set my iPod to use the letter J (I've never used 'J' for anything else before).
    - Yes, I have downloaded and installed the latest versions of iTunes and the iPod software.
    - I'm assuming there is a problem with my computer and not my iPod, since it worked on both other computers I tried. I'm hoping it's as simple as changing a registry file or cleaning out (yet another) temp directory.

    Solution to "Software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed"!
    I battled this same problem for about 5 hours. Going through re-installations, the "5 R's", all these discussion boards. Nothing worked.
    The problem is that iPodService was repeatedly crashing after minute or so. You can verify this by hitting Ctrl-Alt-Delete and noting that iPodService is missing from the process list (sort by image name), or by right-clicking on My Computer and selecting "Manage", then going to Services and checking out the IPodService service - if it gives you the option to "Start", then it's not running.
    Here is what worked.
    1. De-install iTunes and iPod (if you have the updater installed) completely by going to Start --> Control Panel --> Add/Remove Programs. Also delete the C:\Program Files\iTunes and c:\Progam Files\iPod\bin directories. (Don't worry, this doesn't affect your saved music files.)
    2. Log in as an Administrator
    3. Go into the registry (note this is dangerous - you should be careful) and remove the iPod entries that the uninstaller misses.
    3.1 Go to Start menu --> Run.
    3.2 Type in "regedit".
    3.3 Go to HKEYCLASSESROOT --> IPodService.iPodManager.
    There are two keys here, iPodManager and iPodManager.1. In my case, I did not have permission to view either of these. I think this is the root cause of the problem. I think the installer can't properly update these because it doesn't have permission. So you need to change the permissions:
    3.4 Right-click on IPodService.IPodManager
    3.4.1 Select "Permissions..." A warning will appear saying you don't have permission, but that you can change permissions.
    3.4.2 On the window that launches, click on "Advanced..."
    3.4.3 Click on the "Owner" tab.
    3.4.4 Select a valid account (the one you're logged in under) under "Change Owner To".
    3.4.5 Hit "OK".
    3.4.6 Back on the main Permissions window, hit Add and add the same account as a valid user.
    3.4.6.1 Where it says "Enter the object names to select", type in the account name, e.g. "Smith".
    3.4.7 Click on the "Allow" checkboxes for "Full Control" and "Read".
    3.4.8 Hit "OK".
    3.5 Repeat procedure for the "iPodManager.1" key.
    3.6 Now right-click and delete both of these keys.
    I think that's all that's required, but I also searched through the registry and deleted the following keys.
    4. Other keys I deleted:
    4.1 HKEYCLASSESROOT --> IPodManager.IPodManagerUI.1
    4.2 HKEYLOCALMACHINE --> SOFTWARE --> Apple Computer Inc. --> iPod
    I think that's all I deleted, but I'm not positive. I seached for instances of "ipod" using the Find... and Find Next functions under the Edit menu.
    5. Exit out of the registry editor.
    6. Re-install iTunes. I re-installed iTunes and reconnected the iPod, and everything worked.
    I want to repeat that editing the registry can completely mess up your computer if you modify the wrong things, so only do this if you're comfortable, and be extremely careful.
    Hopefully this helps!
    Apple support people: assuming this works, please add it to your solutions page, and feel free to reimburse me for spending half of Christmas figuring this out.

  • TS1717 Having trouble running iTunes version 11.0.2 on a Dell Laptop running Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1.  Keep getting an error message "the software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones was not installed correctly..." reinst

    Having trouble when I launch iTunes (version 11.0.2) on my Dell Laptop running Windows 7 Professional (service pack 1).  I get an error message indicating software required to communicate with iPod and mobile phones was not installed correctly.  Do you want iTunes to try to repair this for you?  I normally respond with OK and it immediately tells me "could not be repaired.  Please reinstall iTunes..."  I have done this a number of times to no avail.

    I also notice Quicktime is not getting installed at all.
    That one is normal nowadays (ever since the iTunes versions 10.5.x).
    The software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones was not installed correctly. Do you want iTunes to try to repair this for you?
    Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you?
    If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)
