Print estimates from my truck

Good afternoon!
I've seen the threads about mobile printing and was wondering if there was any news from the more recent upgrade to the ipad regarding getting mobile printers available?
I purchased my ipad last fall when the apple store staff told me I would be able to print very soon in my truck..... just wait for the upgrade. I'm a simple tech guy and will wait until it's easy. At minimum please add me to the list of people who are waiting.
Thanks!

I will give you that you lab may have some info there but at 5000 sheets for 120 dollars for toner (roughly what we got laser) That is 2.4 cents per page in black and colors would be about the same per toner at four colors needed making it roughly 9.6 cents per page color.
There are "high capacity" toner cartridges, which are 8000 pages. This is where the 1 cent cost comes from.
With the ink jet I get 2200 pages for 27 dollars of black ink putting it at roughly 1.2 cents per page black and the three colors for 75 colors with 1400 pages giving you 5.3 cents per page color. Both of these prices are lower than laser and are fairly accurate so like I said before ink jets are starting to get very nice compared to laser.
In my experience, this is not typical. More like 500-1000 pages, particularly with many of the printer manufacturers cartridges having smaller capacities of the individual tanks.
The only thing that they don't have on laser is the speed.
Well, I have seen some really cheap lasers in the 6ppm range.
As we all know, YMMV so consumable costs per page will vary considerably depending on printing habits and more specifically, between different models of printer. (i.e.: some models do better than others.)
I'm stopping on this subject since we're really deviating from the original topic and we could discuss this for days. Since at the moment there are no laser based Airprint solutions that fall under the "easy" category (the original intent in my first post in this thread,) the OP would be using an inkjet anyway so cost per page of laser printing is only academic for this thread.

How to issue print command from report/form server to client printer on web

1) We have a client server application which is to be deployed on the web environment. The reports generated in our application are having a destination type as File. These reports are printed after applying some print format (escape sequences) which are passed on to the printer programmatically at runtime while printing.
Now when this application is shifted on to the Application server (Forms server & Reports Server )in web environment ,the report outputs would be generated in the application server as against the client in client server environment as the report server is on the application server.
Now while printing/accessing the report the output file will not be available to the client unless it is pushed on to the client side from the server . I am able to see reports in pdf/html output but in this case layout of my reports gets changed and I dont want to change my layouts or reformat my report layouts.
How do I redirect the report output from the application server on to the client within the D2k context and then execute print commands?
Note: In this case we want to use both DMT and Laser printing. Also note that we use escape sequences to adjust reports in desired printing papers.
2) We have second set of reports which we call as document because these are printed after capturing data from 'Form' using text_io utility (please note that for these documents we are not using any Report 6i functionality)and we print it from file using printing mechanism as mentioned above. These are working well in client server application. We adopted this methodology for getting better performance (in terms of speed as database server and network traffic is not involved) of printing. But now we are converting our application for web, we are finding it difficult how to capture Form's data from browser to client's machine and then executing printing commands which are stored in our application liabrary.
If you help me out by giving some suggestions, I shall be grateful to you.

Hello
I wonder if you ever solved this problem.
I have a very similar problem with Photoshop CS5 on Mac OSX 10.6 + HP Photosmart C7180.
If I choose "Photoshop Manages Colors" the results are lousy.
If I choose "Printer Manages Colors" the results are OK. not necessarily great.
I believe I have all the correct settings after going through books and web advice (and wasted a lot of paper and ink).
As far as I can see, "ColorSync" is the internal Mac management which is the only option available with "Photoshop Manages Colors" and "Vendor Matching" appears to mean the printer vendor (ie HP) will provide the matching. Either can be selected if "Printer Manages Colors" is used. It seems the type of paper can be set in three different places. if That's all a bit academic as the results are poor regardless.
My wife suggests I buy a new printer - Epson's looking good.
Any words of wisdom would be appreciated.

See here for Airprint-capable printers: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
Your printer isn't on the list but you may be able to print with Epson's app or other print apps from the App Store.

After a recent update of Photoshop CS6 (via Creative Cloud downloader) I cannot print directly from the program. A print error is shown in the printer document queue. I can print from all other programs including Illustrator. Any solutions to this proble

When I copy the Photoshop file to another computer with an old version of Photoshop (CS2) I can print OK from it

Nobody can help you. You have not provided any proper technical information like system info, what printer, what settings etc.. You need to do a lot better before people can even begin to guess and help you.

I am having a problem printing emails from my Hotmail account when I am using Mozilla Firefox as my browser. When I click on the Print icon above the email and then proceed to print, the output on my Canon Pixma 830 printer is in extremely small type.

I am not sure about all those installed plugins you have listed below.
I know that I can always copy the text of my email and paste it into a Word file to be printed, but that is a hassle, and the output is not quite the same as when I print directly from the Web.

I'm trying to print an Ancestry document from an iPad 2 using air print onto a Canon 5350 (one of the printers ok'd by Apple) I am unable to change the print orientation from portrait to landscape. That is I change it in printer settings but no use.

I'm trying to print an Ancestry document from an iPad 2 using air print. The printer is a Canon MG5350 (on the Apple approved list) I have no difficulty printing but only in portrait format. I've tried changing printer preferences from my computer but even though the Canon accepts the changes it will not print landscape - can anyone advise please?

Hi,
How do you connect the printer to the XP machine ? If USB, you need to make that machine as a Print server. Please try this:

I am unable to print articles from magazines from Google Books - the background prints, but not the article

When I try to print from "File", then "Print" only the background "stuff" prints, not the article I am trying to print from Popular Mechanics in Google books. Sometime in the past I had a program (I think it was Mozilla Firefox) which allowed me to take a "screen shot" of the entire screen, edit out the unwanted graphics, zoom in or out and then print only the edited version on a full page format. I've changed computers, and am still setting the new one up to my preferences. Can you help me print articles from Popular Mechanics on Google books?

Chances are you have one of two problems; either a non-standard "Media Type" is selected or your page margins are messed up. If the Media Type is correct, try doing the '''reset''' mentioned on that support page.

Problems with print range from 1 to 9999 during printing

Hi All,
In my project i am printing the datas in a JTable by a click of the button.I have used the following link:-
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/Programming/JDCBook/advprint.html
to print that data from the JTable.The main problem i have is that
1) The font size in which the tableheader and tabledatas printed are so small.So that i need to increase the font size for both tableheader and tabledatas?
2)When i click the printButton for printing it opens a dialog box showing print range from 1 to 9999. And in the pages from 1 to 9999.
I don't want this.I want only 1 to 1.I know that by using Pageable
interface u can change it.But i don't know how to do it
Any one help me to solve this 2 problems i will be very thankful to u.It is Urgent.For ur reference i will provide my Code:-

HP Officejet Pro 8500A Premium will not print docs from computer, but will print a test page.

HP Officejet Pro 8500A Premium will not print docs from computer, but will print a test page. I continually get a message that the computer cannot communicate with the printer.   Not only will it not print docs, it will not print web pages using IE 11 or Google Chrome.
I've used Print and Scan Doctor, it always reports there are no issues and prints a test page even though I can't print anything else.
Each time I want to print, I must reboot the computer. After reboot I have one chance to print.   This problem started February 15, 2015.
My operating system is Windows 8.1.   I have unintalled the HP software, rebooted, then reinstalled the software:
OJ8500_A910_1315-1.exe
HP Print and Scan Doctor - HPPSdr.exe
HPSupportSolutionsFramework-11.51.0049.msi
All versions were last downloaded on April 4, 2015.
I have a home wireless network (Ubee DDW366 router). All other devices in the house will print to the 8500A printer without issues: 2 Toshiba laptops, 2 Android phones, and 1FireHD.
The desk top is installed with a Netgear Network card I don't know the model, but I had it tested by a PC Tech to confirm that the card is working.   The card and Windows 8.1 were installed on January 3, 2015.
I have run virus scans and malware scans. Each time they show there are no issues with my desktop. What kind of desktop? Specifically made to my specs from store parts. . . no brand name computer. ASUS Motherboard P6X580 Premium. Now I will probably get hacked!
I am at my wits end. And it is frustrating when I need to make a print of something and the system locks up. I often resort to screen printing to a word document to save in order to reboot. . . .but then I lose all sorts of capabilites when I salvage what I needed. Also this is a time consumer.
This printer has served us well for two years and I have expensive cartridges waiting; another two rounds of refills.
Help?
Addendum: I can scan using HP Printer Assistance. I open the HP Printer assistant, it "retrieves" info from the printer, then I select "scan a document or photo" and the printer responds.   I have no trouble with scanning.
This question was solved.

How can i print specific pages against searched word or name (in one print command) from 1000 pages

how can i print specific pages against searched word or name (in one print command) from 1000 pages

Thanks, Alex!
ok, I try first approach in print4.vi, but Labview return an error (view jpg); if I cut From, To controls, the VI print all pages. The same things happen also if I trasform I32 in Variant.
I don't try second approach, because at this time I have only one report
I try also with VB macro: this is better (print3.vi) but.....if I use:
Sub Print_Pages_From_To()
ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.PrintOut Range:=wdPrintFromTo, From:="2", To:="3"
End Sub
is ok; print the pages selected; if I use:
Sub PrintPages()
ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.PrintOut Pages:="2-3"
End Sub
printer print all pages.
what do you think?
regards,
Italo

Remove Printer Name from Crystal Report

How can i remove the printer name from the Crystal Report so that the PrinterName property of the CRAXDRT.Report object in the RDC SDK is blank WITHOUT having the "No Printer" Option checkbox checked?
Here's the scenerio. When I first create a Report and don't go into Page Setup, PrinterName property is blank. If I go into Page Setup and explicitly select a printer, PrinterName property equals the name of the printer selected. If I check the "No Printer" checkbox in Page Setup, PrinterName property is blank. But if i go back in and uncheck the "No Printer" checkbox in Page Setup, the PrinterName property equals the name of my Windows Default Printer.

I'm still not sure what is unclear about my first question. And I'm not sure how any of the info you are requesting is going to make any difference in answering my question. And I'm not sure how your analogy fits here but ..
Version of CR = 11.0.0.895
CR Service Packs applied = None
Web or Win app? = Win App
OS? = Windows XP Service Pack 3
Development language? = Both Visual Basic 6 and C#.Net 2008
Method of CR files deployment = email the .RPT file to a client
Where were the runtime files downloaded from? = Runtimes are installed from Merge Modules donwload from SAP site
What is the version of the craxdrt.dll on the deployed box? = 11.0.0.893
So here are the exact steps so you can understand what is going on:
I have the Crystal Reports Application open side-by-side with my Visual Basic development environment in debug mode so i can step through the code using the RDC SDK.
1. I open the Crystal Reports Application and create a brand new report - "Test.RPT" and DO NOT go into Page Setup at all and save the report.
2. In my Visual Basic development environment, i run the code that will generate the report, Here's the exact code
    Dim m_crApp As CRAXDRT.Application
    Dim m_crReport As CRAXDRT.Report
    Set m_crApp = New CRAXDRT.Application
    Set m_crReport = New CRAXDRT.Report
    Set m_crReport = m_crApp.OpenReport("Test.RPT")
3. When i look at the PrinterName property in the CRAXDRT.Report object, it is blank.
    ie. crReport.PrinterName is equal to ""
4. I reopen the Crystal Reports Application with report "Test.RPT" and go into Page Setup and check the "No Printer" option.
5. I go back into my Visual Basic development environment and rerun the code that will generate the report.
6. When i look at the PrinterName property in the CRAXDRT.Report object, it is still blank.
    ie. crReport.PrinterName is equal to ""
7. I reopen the Crystal Reports Application with report "Test.RPT" and go into Page Setup and uncheck the "No Printer" option. I have NOT specified any printer, nor have i clicked the "Printer..." button to setup a printer....i have just unchecked the "No Printer" option
8. I go back into my Visual Basic development environment and rerun the code that will generate the report.
9. When i look at the PrinterName property in the CRAXDRT.Report object, it is now set to my WINDOWS DEFAULT PRINTER, yet i had not specified any printer.
    ie. crReport.PrinterName is equal to "
MyNetwork\MyPrinter"
PROBLEMS:
1. The client needs the report to go to the default windows printer of their machine
2. If the "No Printer" Option is checked, the Report does not print at all
3. If the report is set to MY default windows printer and i give it to the client, at times it takes upwards of to a minute for the Print Dialog to disply. As i've read on other forum posts, it appears Crystal is looking for MY printer on the clients machine and takes a minute before i realizes it can't find it and then sets it to the CLIENTS default windows printer.
4. The client believes it is unreasonable to wait a minute for the print dialog to appear ...and i agree.
5. I cannot change the code to use the Select Printer in the RDC SDK - it's a long explanation why but just suffice it to say that i cannot do this.
All i want to do is either:
1. Remove the Printer Name in the actual report from the Crystal Reports designer - basically undoing what Crystal did when i went into Page Setup.
2. Via the RDC SDK, be able to detect the "No Printer" option is selected. Checkign CRAXDRT.PrinterName equal to "" is not an option.

How to retrieve print settings from .rpt file?

I have crystal reports 10 report file, in which I edited the printer settings... collate and number of copies(2) and saved it.
now i want to print it from VB6. I am using a customized print dialog form (not using the common dialog control)
I want to get the collate and number of copies settings from the rpt file. how can I get those details. any API available?

Hi Samkar,
It will look something like this:
crReport.SelectPrinter "pscript5.dll", "HP LaserJet 8150 Series PS", "LPT1"
crReport.PaperOrientation = crPO
crReport.PaperSize = crPSS
crReport.PaperSource = crPSR
crReport.PrinterDuplex = crPRDPDefault
crReport.PaperSource = crPRBinEnvelope
Depending on the version you have depends on if the function is available. It may be that 10 did not h ave the Papersource member.
Thanks again

How do I print images from Aperture to the Canon MG6150?

I have recently installed (i think correctly) a Canon MG6150 printer on my iMac but am having difficulty making it work correctly when photo printing (the wireless connection seems OK). When printing from Aperture I can cause a print to be made but the printer prints very quickly and the colour balance is incorrect (it's too pale and not saturated). I think maybe this is due to the wrong paper selection but i can find no way via the Aperture menu of selecting the paper type being used. According to my 1:1 trainer i should see a "Quality and Media" sub menu in Aperture when i print and from there i can select paper type etc. However this "Quality and Media" sub menu is not present on my machine when printing from Aperture. As an alternative i've tried printing from the Canon Easy Photo Print EX utility but each time i try this i have to go through a lengthy process of identifying my region and country before reaching the select images screen. Once there i am unable to find my Aperture files and hence cannot select any images, nor go onto the next stage which seems to be selecting the paper type. All this would be very arduous to use (lots of keystrokes) - am i missiing something?
Also when installing my Canon software from the supplied disc i was referred to the Canon website which said that there were driver updates coming along to sort out some bugs associated with Lion OS (which i'm using). As i understand it these new drivers are not available until sometime during October and hence i haven't been able to download any as yet.
Any help greatfully appreciated as i'm fast running out of hair. Thanks a lot.

The same way you would export to any file system:
Connect the flash drive and once it is mounted you can export to it in the regular manner.

Since I updated to Mountain Lion I can't print to my Epson NX430 from my Mac. Though it prints fine from my iPad. Suggestions? I have already uninstalled and reinstalled software. It won't show up on my list of printer options.

My printer is showing no errors and printed fine from my iPad, but it will not connect wirelessly to my mac mini. When I would try to print the printer status would remain at "idle" and the print queue would give an error message saying no printer was connected to the network. I searched for a driver update and couldn't find one so I decided to uninstall the software and then reinstall. I have done this and now the printer will not show up on the list where it should be to even install it durint set up. What can I do to resolve this issue?
