Print services and linux clients

Hi,
I'm installing a Windows Server 2012R2 as a printer server. It must give support to all kind of clients (windows, os x and linux).
Then, I must use event id 307 and 805 to count printed pages.
My question is related with event 307 and linux clients. I'm asking linux users to configure their CUPS to connect using samba printer, for example, \\server\printer001 but when I check event id, I get no file name (Remote Downlevel Document), and most important,
I get 0 printed pages in param8. I did some testing using IPP, but I were not able to configure a printer in linux (couldn't manage to make linux clients to validate with their domain user account when using IPP). I tried configuring printer on server to render
jobs in server with no luck. Tried PS drivers just in case it was easier to CUPS to send info to server, but no luck either.
So, basically, is there any way to configure server (or linux client) so I get page count in event 307 in printservice? If I must configure IPP printing, how may clients configure their printers to validate using domain accounts?
Thanks!

Hi,
Sorry for delaying in reply.
Linux clients see page count. I've paused printing and checked some documents. Property page from a linux client document shows as this:
Documents sent from windows clients show same but they've document name and page count.
SPL archive copied from spooler printer on Windows server shows that info is present too:

LookupDefaultPrintService() not returning correct print service in Linux

I have tried using PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService() on a number of Linux machines here, with varying software configurations (all running some version of CUPS). None of them are returning the correct default printer. Some were actually returning the correct default printer, but changing the default printer then restarting the test application showed it was merely coincidence.
I have also tried setting the javax.print.defaultPrinter property appropriately, and it still returns the incorrect printer. Anyone had any luck getting the default printer under Linux?
For the time being, I can work around this by selecting the correct default from the available print services using a user specified default printer setting.

I apologize, I should have checked the bug database first. This appears to be a known problem with cups:

Airport Print Serving and Linux

I have a small ethernet wired network with three macs and one PC running Ubuntu linux. The printer for the network is hanging off an Airport-Express in my network closet. All the macs print fine but I need to be able to print from the linux box as well. As such, I need to know what protocol that apple uses to support the print server function. Or, I need some advice on setting it up with an SMB protocol. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

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

Photo printing services and the ProPhotoRGB profile?

I recently tried to have some images printed by Adorama here in NYC and they came back washed out and brownish. I eventually deduced that the issue was that the photos had an embedded ProphotoRGB color profile and that Adorama couldn't handle it or convert it to something that would work.
Does anyone have any suggestions for online printing services that can manage this color space and give me really nice prints?
I've just uploaded the same files to Mpix to see how they manage - anyone have any experience with Mpix? How about Nations Photo Lab?
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Also - what is the best workflow for converting ProPhotoRGB color space to another color space? I tried converting it to Adobe RGB and it looks crap.
Thanks

Both Mpix and WHCC, among others, support a fully color-managed workflow
that allow you to embed a standard RGB working space profile like ProPhoto.
Exactly how did you perform a conversion to Adobe RGB, and how did you view
the image after performing the conversion?

Mopria print service and cisco mDNS

Hello,
I have a customer who is trying to do printer discovery via an Android Nexus 5 running the Mopria print service to a Mopria enabled printer and it is not showng up. The wireless he is on is a AP2602i on a WiSM2 running 7.4.121 with mDNS enabled and multicast disabled. The Bonjour/Airprint service works fine, Ipads, Iphones, etc. can discover the Airprint enabled printers.
The strange part of this is that at another different site on a AP1131 and WiSM running 7.0.250 and Multicast enabled it the Mopria discovery works. I have read that the Cisco mDNS on the controllers does NOT support third party apps so I turned ON multicast on the WiSM2 but that did not solve the issue. Do I need to make a mDNS service set in the controller maybe? Anyone know the service string?
Thanks!

The best way to figure out the service string is to use a bonjour discover app. You can get one for Windows, Mac and IOS devices. You would connect to that particular device and you will be able to see the service string and be able to add that. If the Android and the Mopria print service is on the same vlan, then, maybe its something else that needs to be looked at. Can other devices discover that printer and is the issue only with a certain type of device?

Suisse printing service and wrong language

I am trying to order a book from the Suisse (French) printing service. I already submitted the book with iPhoto 9.0.1 with no problem but the order was then cancelled as there was a problem with the file they received. Since the update to iPhoto 9.1 the language of the store is wrong, in fact the sheet that appear with order summary is in German and not in french. I have tried to select other stores from the iPhoto preferences and every time I change the store if I pretend to order a book the summary page reflects the change except in the case of the Suisse (French) store. I think it may be a problem of iPhoto 9.1 or of the server but in order to exclude it is a problem with my upgraded copy of iPhoto may somebody try to select the Suisse (French) store and try to click buy book to see if the language that appear on the summary sheet is French or German? Thanks.

It's still broken in 2013, really disappointing. Don't think it is related to any iPhoto version.
The Swiss store is only available in German and French - English, my system language, won't do. However, in all those years I've never seen an option to choose between German/French, iPhoto always just assumed one.
In my case it picks French (instead of German) eventhough the preferred language in the Apple-ID account is German. Also, in "System Preferences -> Language&Text -> Language" German is listed below English but above French on purpose. Furthermore, in "Language&Text -> Formats -> Region" I picked "Switzerland (German)".
I've yet to figure out how Apple picks the effective store. If it doesn't look in either of those three places it's seriously broken anyhow...

Accessing print services in the client machine(browser)

Query: We had migrated a forms-3 form to forms-6i. The forms-3 form used a userexit to call a related Pro*C functionality that helped finally to print the report file generated during the process into the client machine's printer.
How do we take care of this functionality in forms-6i? That is, the user should be able to do the printing from the forms screen in the browser..
Please help..

Thank you for replying..
We have earlier tried the web.show_document procedure to call the .html or .txt file....But in forms-3(back-end on a UNIX server with the Pro*Cs), an ascii file was created at the server side in the client's home directory, and this file was accessed and used from the front-end machine(a UNIX terminal or a QVTTerm like application on Windows), to be printed out onto the printer device configured on the client machine...As in your reply, through web.show_document also the printing can be finally done..But the user has to wait for the new browser window to get opened and show the content and then print it...These steps were not needed in forms-3, that is, on a click of the print-related-button, it did the job...So, in the same way, can something be done on the forms-6i form(use a printer-javabean or something else), to get the functionality???
Please help..

Print management and billing (client only)?

Is there an easy (and inexpensive if I may add) solution for managing print jobs in a Mac OSX environment (all Leopard)?
I would like to be able to track print jobs by client (architecture studio) and then be able to bill them.
Our setup is:
3 iMacs (Intel)
2 MacPro (PPC)
1 MBP (intel)
1 MB (intel)
1 MacMini (intel)
2 TimeCapsules
On the printer side:
1 HP Plotter
1 Panasonic Workio
2 smaller printers
All printers except 1 (USB and shared with the rest) are connected directly to the LAN (switch).
Even if there are some printers (the "2 smaller printers") that cannot be tracked I don't care. Most important for me would be to have a SW on each computer where the user can assing a "code" to each print job. These codes can then be collected.
HP seems to offer something similar but, for some reasons, the user, when printing with ArchiCAD 12, is not recognized by the printer itself, making it useless...

tools > Pykota probably best choice. (US$25)
others:
applications >
accsnmp
CUPS filter quota and log 1.0
lpdacc 1.0
phpprintanalyzer 1.1
printanalyzer
It seems to me that one way to use the simplest of these, which analyze the CUPS page_log, is to implement a policy within the company that workers must log in to a separate Username for each project - then accounting is easy because the programs identify pages by Usernames.
Good luck.

WINDOWS TERMINAL SERVICES AND ORACLE CLIENT 9,10.1,10.2 BUG

PROBLEM:NON-ADMINISTRATOR USER UNABLE TO USE CLIENT SQLPLUS INSTALL
FIX: NONE... REFER TO Bug No.     4684738
Filed     18-OCT-2005     Updated     06-DEC-2005
Product     SQL*Plus     Product Version      10.2.0.1
Platform     Microsoft Windows Server 2003     Platform Version
HOW I FIXED:
copied instant client basic, instant SqlPlus, instant ODBC (i need ODBC connection)
step1:
login to terminal server as administrator, unzip basic, SqlPlus, ODBC into a new directory on the server, make sure users have basic file rights read,view to new directory.
step2:
copy a working copy of tnsnames.ora (the databases you want to connect to) into the directory where all your instant client files are.
step3:
create SYSTEM ENVIRONMENT variables > click my computer, properties,advanced. create variable SQLPATH set value to path of your instant clent files. create variable TNS_ADMIN set value to path of your instant client files.
step4:
edit the PATH statement listed in SYSTEM ENVIRONMENT variables and add the path to your instant client files at the beginning of the PATH statement.
step5:
logout, login as administrator test instant sqlplus open command prompt enter > sqlplus username?/password?@mydatabase
you should get connected to your database. Repeat step5 only login as a normal user. the normal user should be able to connect to the database.
Issue: it appears instant ODBC not ready for prime time I get error 126, reading forums it appears there are files missing from the install package. The Microsoft ODBC connector for Oracle does work with my MSACCESS applications that connect to Oracle 10G using the afore mentioned process. I will continue to troubleshoot instant ODBC issue and post findings. Oracle has already wasted 12 hours of my time trying to get their junky software working might as well waste another day before throwing in the towel.

You can download the latest JDBC drivers from http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/index.html
You just need to place the jar somewhere and add the location to your classpath.

P.S. I`am from germany ;-)

Thanks! But on which machine do i have to put the lp command?
Application-Server?
Tarantella Server?

WebObjects Java Client-JNLP fine on OS X and Linux, Windows problem

Hi,
I have been making a somewhat fruitful exploration into WebObjects Java Client development in order to get my nice IB interfaces for prototypes functional and deployed in a cross platform environment.
I have made some good strides in figuring out the semi-documented process of Java/IB integration, and how to build (including adding external libraries) and deploy onto a server (if anyone else is interested I will share; perhaps a blog is deserved), and though I am able to run it from both Mac OSX and Linux clients on the network (the Linux interface currently looks like garbage but will work on that), when I try to run it on windows I immediately get the following error tab in General:
An error occurred while launching/running the application.

It looks to me like the problem is with trying to rename the directory to a name with multiple periods, which works on UNIX but not on Windows. Is this a familiar problem? Is there any workaround/solution or any intent to fix?

Print command from linux PC on to Windows Environment

Hi Experts,
We have SAP on Windows and the network printer is also on Windows, the PC with Linux is integrated with network printer i.e when the print command from Linux is given the output is available from the printer (Windows). But when the print command is given through SAP there is no output from Printer (Windows).
When same user logs into Windows the printer command is successful.

hi hari,
Printing SAP documents using Linux client is a little bit tricky if you want to get good printing result just as when you print from your Windows client.
If you want to use G printing method (on Linux client), you can't use SAPWIN on device type since SAPWIN is relying printing method. You must use exact printer driver. For example when you're using Dot Matrix printer Epson LX300+, you can use EPESCP2
I am using different method to cheat this and it's completely work.

Print service will not start up

Every time I enter the command "sudo serveradmin start print" I get the following respond:
print:command = "setState"
print:state = "STOPPED"
print:status = 0
I've tried to clean out all temp files from /var/spool/cups, /var/spool/cups/tmp, etc. and reinstalled printers.
I can no longer see the printers in the Server Admin Print:Settings:Queues.
If I run the command "sudo /usr/sbin/PrintServiceAccess info -" I get
*Cannot get server instance. Error (-9948).
Command error (-9948)!
_Assert: ASXPrintServerLib.cpp, 473
*Failed to release server instance. Error (-9998).
The Windows user can't connect to printers but the Mac and Linux clients using cups are able to print.

At the screen choose F2 then test your hard drive. If it is not found or fails testing you will need to replace it.
