Print and Page Setup Error

I just installed CR 2008 and am getting an 'out of memory' error when I hit 'page setup'. After clicking 'okay' on the error, it opens the page setup screen, but attempting to change anything brings up an 'an invalid argument was encountered' error.
Task manager says that I have plenty of memory.
I also have a problem with CR shutting down when I hit the print button. I end up with this error: crw32.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvienience.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Chris,
Try turning off the DEP for Crystal reports, and check if it works after that. For turning off the DEP, right click 'My Computer' -> Properties -> 'Advanced' -> click the 'Settings' button under the Performance frame -> 'Data Execution Prevention' -> select the second radio button -> click on 'Add' and select 'Crw32.exe' through the dialog box.
Thanks,
Alok.

How can use Print and Page Setup Dialogs with multiple monitors?

It seems the designers of the printing API forgot to include multiple monitor support.
According to the API, a way to popup a print dialog is done via this manner;
1) PrinterJob.getPrinterJob().printDialog()
or
2)PrinterJob.getPrinterJob().printDialog(PrintRequestAttributeSet atts)
Option (1) brings up the native print dialog and hangs the event thread (another problem, for later i guess) and (2) brings up the Swing dialog which at least doesn't hang the event thread. And while somewhat limited is not a bad print dialog.
The problem is that there is no way to pass a GraphicsConfiguration object, so that the print dialog can know where to popup (what monitor).
So looking around, we have this newer 1.4 method
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/javax/print/ServiceUI.html
public static PrintService printDialog(GraphicsConfiguration gc,
int x,
int y,
PrintService[] services,
PrintService defaultService,
DocFlavor flavor,
PrintRequestAttributeSet attributes) throws HeadlessException
So now this method has a way to pass a graphicsconfiguration, so it should know what monitor to create the dialog in.
But this method is such a mess to setup. When I use it, it lists the printers but doesn't select the user's default printer.
But more problematecally is that there is no PAGE SETUP dialog equivalent to this method! So I would have a print dialog that pops up in the right place, but page setup on default monitor! ARGH!!!
The code for ServiceUI has a pageDialog() method but it's commented out for "future release". What a mess.
Is there any way to solve this? To have pageDialog and printDialog on a given monitor?

Printing only blank pages and Page setup dialog box is black

When I go to firefox - Print - Print preview - Page setup OR
Firefox - Print - page setup
This dialogue box is black. I can't move or adjust it. Nothing is on that screen.
When I print a webpage (ctrl P, or Firefox, print) nothing is printing.
I tried a suggestion of resetting by following the instructions here. That did not work.
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problems_printing_web_pages#Reset_printer

I just experienced this problem, and stumbled upon the cause and the fix. When I went to "File" and then "Print Preview" I was getting a "black" screen where the preview should have been. I tried the suggested fixes related to about:config printer settings and add-on's, etc... but it did not help.
Then, I looked at the "Page Set-up" when I was on the "Print Preview" page. The bottom margin (for whatever strange reason... have no clue) was set at a huge number of inches... like 43801.4 or some such. I changed it back to 0.3 inches... fixed it. Can print just fine now.
So... if all else fails: check your margin settings on page set-up.

How to do Print, Print Preview & Page Setup?

do you have any sample to do Print, Print Preview & Page Setup.
thanks very much!

I have a JTable on a dialog and wanted to print it. I discovered the following method (may or may not work for you).
1) Simply extend your class to implement Prinatable....
public class EbertPanelProductivityHistory extends JPanel implements Printable {
2) As pare of your class in #1 make a print() method as follows (i.e. implement print() for Printable)
public int print( Graphics g, PageFormat pageFormat, int page ) {
int i,j,k,x,y;
Graphics2D g2d;
// We're done! (page is 0 based)
if( page >= ReportDataPrintPageCnt ) {
return (NO_SUCH_PAGE);
// Create a graphic2D object and set the default parameters
g2d = (Graphics2D)g;
g2d.setColor( Color.black );
etc. etc. etc....
// PRINT IT!!!
return( PAGE_EXISTS );
3) And then you can print yourself...
private void PrintActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
PrinterJob PrintJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob(); // printer access - instance of PrinterJob
/**** THIS IS OURSELF - i.e. our class with print() implemented that implements Printable **********/
PrintJob.setPrintable(this); // this class implements Printable - see print()
PrintJob.setJobName( Title ); // job name
if( PrintJob.printDialog() ) { // print dialog!
try { PrintJob.print(); } catch (Exception e) {
javax.swing.JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, MSG_ID + MSG_ERR + e.getMessage(), "Alert", javax.swing.JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);

Found cure for Acrobat 9 not able to select Printer in Page setup.

This may already be covered in another thread. In fact I used this as suggestion to cure another problem in another thread. That was related to editing files in Acrobat 9. It cures this problem I brought up on forum a week after I installed acrobat 9.
Every since I purchased by download Acrobat 9, I have been unable to slect a Printer in the Page setup. when clicking any printer your supposed to see a drop down list of all the print Drivers you have installed. I got
nothing.
I downloaded and installed Reader 9.0. Low and behold I am now able to select the desired printer. in Reader 9
and Acrobat 9.
So anyone having these issues. download and install Reader even if you never use it. The installer evidently inserts some code they forgot to put in Acrobat 9.

Well, come to find out. It works on my G4-500 as stated on my OSX.4.11 Drive. But I updated on my Firewire drive and still have same issue with Acrobat. But Reader I am able to set printer.
On my PowerBook 17 G4-1.67Gb Laptop neither works I don't know what to do. adobe is no help.

Crystal crashes when using print or page setup

I am using Crystal Reports 2008 on Windows VISTA Business OS (32 Bit). Crystal crashes everytime I hit the page setup or print. Any suggestions would be helpful. I am trying to setup a landscape report but cannot even get into the page settings.

Hi,
Please try with this:
Run a command prompt as administrator. From the start menu, select "All Programs", then "Accessories" and right-click on the "Command Prompt" shortcut and choose "Run As Administrator". From here you can use the following command to disable Data Execution Prevention (DEP) with the following command:
bcdedit.exe /set nx AlwaysOff
Keeping your command prompt open, run your setup or other process being stopped by DEP. Then, to turn it back on again, do the same and run the following:
bcdedit.exe /set nx AlwaysOn
Now try again.

Shweta

Pages and page setup problems

I love my mac and love pages but sometimes I wanna chuck it out the window.
Here is why - I have been working on my thesis and was inserting some table in the pages doc. No problem. Except that the tables are in horizontal layout/orientation while the doc is in vertical layout/orientation so the table doesnt fit in. Now on a PC I would to to page setup and change the page layout/orientation for that page only except it seems it doesnt work here. I change the layout/orientation for all pages or no pages. Same thing is if I want to have an envelope and a letter in the same document. Same thing in Word for mac. Which is kind of a problem as it means I have to create a template on my PC and then move it to my mac to work.
Am I missing something silly? Is there a trick I can do?

Sparky,
Creating a template in Word in an attempt to work around a program design choice in Pages would be a very bad option, with little chance of success.
A landscape page is a portrait page with the content rotated 90 degrees. I think that the only things in your Pages job that can't be rotated are the Header and Footer fields, and those probably are best left alone in this case anyway. So, here's the trick. Insert a table, make sure that it is Floating, not Inline, and then rotate it 90 degrees and adjust it's position on the page. You can edit the table either before or after you rotate it.
Similarly, envelopes could be included in the document by rotating text fields, but it's not clear to me what purpose it would serve since it would complicate printing.

The page setup has changed to 'portrait' and Page Setup will not change it back to landscape.

When I switched on this morning Adobe Reader installed an update and recommended removing Realplayer. I looked up how to do this but it doesn't seem to be on my machine. When I started Firefox the page setup had changed to portrait. Going into 'PAGE SETUP' and changing the setting to landscape had no effect.

Try to reset the <b>print</b> prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page via the right-click context menu.

Help exporting Colors and Page Setups from Pages

I've got a last-minute business trip tomorrow and need to be able to take the custom color swatches saved in Pages, along with all my custom page setup sizes, with me from my iMac to my MacBook. However, I can't seem to find where Pages stores/saves this info.
Please help? Thanks!

Apple deliver a set of templates stored in the applications documents.
If you must use custom ones, it's good practice to store them in the standard dedicated folder.
For machines running English, this folder is :
Macintosh HD:Users:<yourUserAccount>:Library:Application Support:iWork:Pages:Templates:My Templates:
If it doesn't exist on your machine it's that you never saved a document as a template thru the dedicated menu item.
I'm puzzled by this sentence :
Peter - The colors copied over flawlessly.
If you had to copy by yourself the folder named by Peter, it's that something was wrong in your install process. This folder is automatically created and filled by the official installer.

Photosmart C4580 - printing multiple pages in error

Hi - I have the above printer, and it is printing multiple pages instead of the number requested. I have to physically stop the printing after the required number of pages, otherwise it will continue to print more of the same pages. I have uninstalled, and reinstalled the printer, and all other aspects are working fine. It is linked wirelessly to the computer and that is fine. Any help you may have would be appreciated. Regards, debnmaid

Using the printing API, you have a Graphics object to do your printing on.
So just set a clip window to your current 1/4 of the screen, draw page, translate to the next 1/4, set clip, draw page, etc.?

Tried to setup ePrint on printer and received Register Error, Please Upgrade Product

I was trying to setup the ePrint web service on a HP Photosmart Plus e-All-in-One B210a and whenever i tried to set it up on the printer I would receive "Register Error - Please upgrade product". I would also try to get the printer to update through the web interface and I wasn't having any luck. I'm wondering what I can do to get the printer to either update itself and get the ePrint enabled or if I can do it from the HP website?
Thank You,
Trevor Bensen

I hope you are doing well and sorry to learn you are having this issue
Can you share what is the complete printer model as well as this;
Operating System (including service pack revision)
Connection Method - USB, Hardwired LAN, Wireless?

Safari and page loading errors -- slooooow

Folks:
I have noticed the following (Safari 3 or Public Beta 4)
First use the Safari "Windows" menu and open the "Activity" window.
Now pick a page from any number of those pages that open 'slowly'.
Watch what happens in the Activity window...
What I bet you see is that some element(s) in the page 'can't be found'
Safari seems to sit and poll for missing elements for a loooong time.
While Safari is busy polling to get the page open, go ahead an launch Firefox.
Wait for Firefox to render whatever its home page is and then give Firefox the url that Safari will still be trying to render.
Firefox will load and render the page well before Safari finally gets around to it.
NOTE: If there are no page errors and all elements are found then Safari loads the page quickly!
The standard stuff I see in the forum here about permissions and disk space don't apply here.
This is a side by side, real time, same context test of the browsers and if there are any page "issues" then Firefox blows Safari out of the water.
Seemd to me we need a prefence that says:
"If you can't find a page element right away go ahead and ignore it"
Is there such a beast hiding away in a hidden preference?
What's totally annoying about this issue is that it is largely caused by the equivalent of junk mail on the web. Its appalling how much garbage inhabits most pages today.... Activity window makes it pretty clear what the real cost of "free" is....
Comments? Any way to avoid this painful slowness?
Steve

iBod;
Hmm - thanks for the tip!
I'm a uVerse customer so my mac is on ethernet cable wired to uVerse router.
The DNS setting for the Mac were pointing to the uVerse router.
I don't really want to head off on a DNS adventure wiht UVerse..
(I need to get work done!)
So what I did was simply add the OpenDNS servers to the list on my mac.
It does seem to have improved things a bit! So thanks for that.
I guess I don't have a handle on how the mac would handle this multiple DNS business...
A given request goes out to all at once and its just a race?
A request is given in list order and passed on after a 'try' interval?
If the Mac is a passing everything through the uVerse router is this multiple DNS setup now actually creating MORE traffic?
Thanks for some improvement

Printing and Page scaling issues

On a lot of my documents -- scanned from 8x11 b&w pages -- Acrobat seems to want to scale down the pages to print correctly, when this is not true.
Is there anything that I can do to solve this issue?
I realize that I can set page scaling to none, but this is NOT a solution. Every person printing the document would have to do the same thing. I want to solve this problem so that even if Acrobat is set to "Shrink to Fit", that it knows to NOT scale down the pages.

In addition to the above comment, Acrobat or Adobe Reader will always try to scale a page down if it is printing on paper of the same size. If you want to make it even more fool proof (a user could override the above setting and select scale pages to fit) make the page size a bit smaller than letter, then even if they select shrink to fit it won't need to.

CR 2008 SP2 - Slow to open Print Dialog or Page Setup Dialog (And SP3+)

When I am designing my report in CR 2008 SP2 and select either Page Setup or Print from the File menu, Crystal Reports stops responding for about 5 minutes and then the dialog box will open. I created a blank report and did not add anything to it and this continues to happen. The program operates at normal speed otherwise. It is quick to startup and load reports. Any ideas on why this is so slow?
Update: I have also tried checking the box in page setup that says No Printer but the problem persists.
Update 2: I have updated from SP2 -> SP3 -> FP 3.1 -> FP 3.2 -> FP 3.3, and after each upgrade I tried both Print and Page Setup and it continued to exhibit the same slowness as in SP2.
Thanks,
Paul

Hi Ashwini,
I just completed updating my OS and I am still experiencing the behavior. I have applied every update available through Windows Update. I just reformatted my computer two days ago so this is a pretty fresh install.
This problem existed before my reformat as well however. A few months ago, Crystal did not have this slow issue when opening either Print or Page Setup dialogs. About a month ago these two dialog boxes just became very slow. I hoped reformatting would get rid of this issue but it persists. I also experience this slowness on a different computer that I am using.
One idea I just tried is to shutdown the Print Spooler service in Windows. The print dialog won't open at all but it does quickly tell me Warning: No Printer is installed on this system. The Page Setup dialog on the other hand opens immediately, however, the Printer Options group box is totally greyed out. This "fix" is of course no good to me since I cannot print, but perhaps it narrows down the issue to something regarding printing and/or printers?

Under "Basic" in the "Printer Settings" of the Print menu, the dropdown menus for both "Page Setup: Sheet" and "Media Type" are frozen.

Frozen selections: I'm working from my Intel iMac trying to print (from both Aperture and Photoshop CS5) to my new Epson 4900 printer. When the Print menu comes up, under the "Basic" section of the "Printer Settings" the dropdown menus for both "Page Setup" and "Media Type" won't activate. All other options and selections work fine. Just these 2 are not functioning. What's up with that??

Here we are 15 months later and Microsoft Excel 2013 has the SAME ERROR
If one chooses:
Print Preview
Page Setup
Sheet
Then the print area and print titles (Rows to repeat at top, columns to repeat at top)
are all grayed out and cannot be selected.
If, however, I choose the
page layout bar and click print titles then
everything works fine.
Thanks for the solution!!!
