Print a File from Forms to a Printer connected to USB Port

Hi All,
I have a printer connected to the USB port to my local machine.
I access web application Forms 9i AS and try to print a report on my local printer.The report is opened using web.show_document in the Internet explorer browser window. There are several pages in the report and i need a page break to be recognized on each page. For remote printing i tried using ORARRP utility but it does not print from a printer connected to a USB port. But it works when the printer is connected to a parallel port.
How do i achieve this, please share your thoughts on this and solution as well if this is feasible
Expecting a favourable reply from the forum users.
Thanks in advance

WEB.show_document is mainly for running a report that you want to display in a browser but you can still use it to create a file in the report server even though I would recommend to use RUN_REPORT_OBJECT instead ...
You can take a look at metalink note 207396.1 - How to Run Reports From Forms 9i / 10g Using RUN_REPORT_OBJECT.
It appears you are already using it since WEB.show_document in your case is just used to retrieve the output from a job that was previously run, most likely with RUN_REPORT_OBJECT.
Can you post the code used to run the report ? It will be easier to convert it to generate a file if we have it..
The file name you assign it when you call the report (DESNAME=d:\mysharedfolder\mytextfilenameyyymmddhhmiss.txt) so that it is unique and you delete it after the report is printed, webutil can give you a private folder for the user in the application server, in case the data is sensitive, you would run the report with DESTYPE=FILE and MODE=CHARACTER.
You would need two folder locations, one in the application server, webutil can help you with that, and another one in the client PC, it could be the C:\TEMP folder if you will ...

    hi Friends,
    How can print a report from form 6i, when I press a button?
    When i press a button from Form 6i, the report should print through printer.

  • Printing a report from forms

    I would like to print a report from forms without opening reports first. Is this possible and if so how?

    From a command-line or .BAT file (assuming Windows and Developer6i) run the following (on a single line). It will go to your default printer.

  • How can i print my files from mi iphone 5 throught the airport express?

    How can i print my files from mi iphone 5 throught the airport express?? i have the last iOS version installed and also the last firmware version of the printer. the printer is already connected to the USB airport express and when i look for printers in airprinter there is no printer found. i have an HP LASERJET P1606dn(i think that is supported by the airprinter).

    In order to function with AirPrint, a printer must connect to the network wirelessly.
    Even if you have an AirPrint compatible printer, iOS devices will not be able to print to the printer when it is connected via USB.
    So, you have two options:
    1) Reconfigure the printer to connect to the network using wireless only and the iOS devices should be able to print that way....assuming that you have up to date drivers for the printer installed.
    2) Leave the printer connected via USB and then use a third party App like Printopia installed on your Mac as a "workaround" to (hopefully) allow the iOS to device to be able to print.  If you want to give this a try, there is a free trial for Printopia, so you will know if it will work before you buy. You must have a Mac running on the network in order for Printopia to function correctly.

  • Printing a report from Forms 9i

    Hi all
    I have to print a report from Forms 9i, but I can't do it directly, I have to execute it with desname = preview and then I can print it.
    I use the following sintax
    RUN_REPORT_OBJECT_PROC(repid, v_server_name,'pdf',printer,v_path,v_report,'paramform=no'|| other parameter....,v_servlet)
    where v_path is the name of the printer and run_report_object is a procedure to execute reports into forms
    I try to set v_path with the printer name on my client and on the server.. but it doesn't find it...
    Please help me,
    Thanks in advance

  • Print Jpeg files from SAP

    Hi,
    We have JPEG files (pictures) stored in Custom Z table (Cluster table). We would like to know how to print these files from SAP on to a certain printer.
    We know that it is not possible to convert JPEG to BMP within SAP and print using SAPScript OR SmartForms.
    We want to find out if there is any print command to print these files to SAP printer  ?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Niranjan

    Hi Gregory,
    I had checked this tcode earlier. However, I don't see any 'Print' jpeg or any other file functionality here. What SAP might be doing here is, allow upload of any document like excel, word or pic files (jpeg, gihf, bmp) and so on and just display.
    I am interested in printing functionality without usng SAP Script OR Smartforms, because, when we get into it, we have to talk only TIF or BMP as JPGs are not supported.

  • Why can't I print PDF files from my iPad or smart phone. Just started this recently.

    Not able to print PDF files from either my iPad or smart phone

    You probably don't have a printer which supports AirPrint:

    If your printer is not supported, you can buy a utility like PrinterPro from Readdle on the App Store. That's what I've used to print.

  • No longer possible to save or print PDF files from browsers

    I am suddenly having a problem saving or printing PDF files from the browser, but it extends to all browsers in OS X. I can view the PDF normally but if I try to print as PDF all it shows is two black pages. Then if I try to save as a PDF it tells me the document could not be exported. I just tried this with a PDF and the only way I could get it was via Windows running on Parallels. I've already tried resetting the printer by removing and adding it again with the alt key pressed but this made no difference.
    This all started about a week or so ago and I just ignored it at first thinking it was something wrong with a particular file but now it's happening in all cases. I'm running the latest 10.7.3 on a new Mac Pro and everything is up to date. Does anybody know what might be causing this?
    Thanks

    Quit Safari.
    Open the Library folder in your home folder as follows:
    ☞ If running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the Finder menu bar.
    ☞ If running an older version of Mac OS X, select Go ▹ Go to Folder… from the Finder menu bar and enter “~/Library” (without the quotes) in the text box that opens.
    Delete the following items from the Library folder:
    Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Preferences/com.apple.quicktime.plugin.preferences.plist
    Preferences/QuickTime Preferences
    Relaunch Safari and test.

  • Not printing acrobat files from Reader 9.4/Win 7 64 bit

    I have just had to get replacement PC with Win7 64 bit and have loaded Acrobat Reader 9.4.(Prior to demise of old PC Win XP SP3 and Reader 9.x)  I have an HP Deskjet 960c printer connected through a NAS as a network printer.
    I have problems printing acrobat files  PDFs (which used to print on old PC) to that configuration. I open document (displays fine), select print, press OK. Goes through spooling doc - 100%.; Then nothing happens - nothing shows on doc list on printer - JUST GETS LOST IN THE ETHER.
    Same file prints on printer if direct USB connected. 
    Word/Excel files print both through NAS as server and on direct usb connect.
    Still printes from another XP machine fine.
    Tried XP compatibility no change
    ONLY does not seem to work on printing PDFs via NAS Print Server.

  • I'm unable to print pdf files from certain web sites. I have just changed to Mavericks

    i'm unable to print pdf file from certain web site. I just changed over to Mavericks.

    You will need to access that PDF on your computer first, before you can print it — unless that PDF is corrupted, which occasionally happens. Your printer needs to be configured and working.
    Default PDF web-browser plug-in in Safari, latest (Firefox/Chrome) also built-in.
    Click on the remote PDF link to open in browser
    On Mavericks, you will need to click through security challenges for the PDF
    File menu > Print
    Right-click on remote PDF file and then choose Download Linked File As...Open that file in /Applications/Preview.appFile > print
    Adobe Reader 11.0.04 PDF plug-in
    Same security challenges on Mavericks as first bullet
    With PDF imaged in browser, either select print icon from the plug-in toolbar, or mouse over the bottom one inch of displayed document and you will see a printer icon in the popup toolbar. Use that.
