Print Spoller Related Question

Hi ,all
this is my first post, please bare with me....
i have a lab computer with a hp deskjet printer attached. in the lab as a test is run the results are printed. whilst conducting tests the printer failed but the tests continued and the results still went to the printer and now i have 80 results in the print queue of the deskjet printer.
the next day i realised the failure and rushed of to pcworld and bought a hp laserjet printer. all is fine with regards to the new printer, (added print driver, attached printer, made it default printer) but i wanted to ask how i could get the results spooled for the deskjet printer to be printed out on the laserjet printer.
to re-iterate.
my computer had printer "HP-A" attached. it went off line/failed, print outs got spooled. 
i attached printer "HP-B", and want to print the documents spooled to "HP-A" on printer "HP-B".
i hope i have not made any faux pass whilst posing the question and that it makes sense, i realise its kinda more microsoft related but i thought that the HP site may have information more readily available because searching "print spool" on the microsoft site hs given me a BIG headache.
thanks in advance for any time spent on helping me with this. regards
saliya 

What model Deskjet?  What model Laser printer?  What operating system?  What is the problem with the Deskjet?  (Any error lights, noises, etc?)
The most  straightforward method would be to get the Deskjet printer working, and the above questions may help point to a solution there.
If that is not possible then it may be possible to print the job on the Laserjet, depending on the models of the printers you had.  To do this I would try the following.  (I use Vista so I will describe the process based on Vista.  It may be slightly different for other operating systems):  Go to the printers folder, right click on the laserjet printer, properties,ports and note which port the laserjet is connected to.  Now go to the printers folder, right click on the deskjet printer,run as administrator, properties, (continue), advanced, and check the "keep printed documents" box, apply.  (This will provide some safety to keep the document in case the next steps fail....)  Next click on ports and select the same port the laser printer uses, OK.  Now from the printers folder double-click on the deskjet, printer, then uncheck "use printer offline" and "pause printing" if they are checked.
This may or may not work, depending on if the drivers for the deskjet and laserjet are compatible.  If the laserjet prints gibberish then go back and "pause printing", "use printer offline" and let's work on getting the deskjet working.

  • Print preferences related to fax modem

    I'm not able to receive faxes with my internal modem. I want to try deleting the print preferences related to the fax in the hope that will fix the issue. I have 6 preferences related to print and only want to delete the ones associated with the fax. If anyone can help with that, it would be much appreciated.

    Maybe I can ask the question another way. Anyone else running 10.5.8 on an iMac G5 able or not able to send, but not receive faxes anymore. I hooked up my phone line to my G4 running Tiger and the fax works both ways. So it's something with the 10.5.8 OS or my machine. Any help at all out there Had the phone line tested and it's at 100% Verizon said.

  • I want to check all functions of PCI 6534.I have read the user manual..I have some memory related questions.​Please help me for that.

    I want to check all functions of PCI 6534.I have read the user manual..I have some memory related questions.Please help me for that.
    1.)If i am using the continuous output mode.and the size of generated data is less than 32 MB.If i want to preload the memory,what should i do?I want that first of all i load all my data to onboard memory & then i want to make start the transfer between 6534 & peripheral.Is it possible?As per me it should be.Plz tell me how should i do this?I think that in normal procedure the transfer between 6534-peripheral & outputting data from pc buffer to onboard memory works parallely.But i don't want this.Is it poss
    ible?
    (2).Similarly in finite input operation(pattern I/O) is it possible to preload the memory and then i read it?Because i think that the PC memory will be loaded automatically when 6534 acquires the data and then when we use DIO read vi the pc buffer data will be transferred to application buffer.If this is true,i do not want this.Is it possible?
    (3) One more question is there if i am using normal operation onboard memory will be used bydefault right?Now if i want to use DMA and if i have data of 512 bytes to acquire.How will it work and how should i do it?Please tell me the sequence of operations.As per my knowledge in normal DMA operation we have 32 Bytes FIFO is there so after acquisition of 32 bytes only i can read it.How it will known to me that 32 bytes acquisition is complete?Next,If i want to acquire each byte separately using DMA interrupts what should i do?Provide me the name of sourse from which i can get details about onboard memory & DMA process of 6534 specifically
    (4).In 6534 pattern Input mode,if i want to but only 10 bits of data.and i don't want to waste any data line what should i do?

    Hi Vishal,
    I'll try to answer your questions as best I can.
    1) It is definitely possible to preload data to the 32MB memory (per group) and start the acquisition after you have preloaded the memory. There are example programs on ni.com/support under Example Code for pattern generation and the 6534 that demonstrate which functions to use for this. Also, if your PC memory buffer is less than 32MB, it will automatically be loaded to the card. If you are in continuous mode however, you can choose to loop using the on-board memory or you can constantly be reading the PC memory buffer as you update it with your application environment.
    2) Yes, your data will automatically be loaded into the card's onboard memory. It will however be transferred as quickly as possible to the DMA FIFO on the card and then transferred to the PC memory buffer through DMA. It is not going to wait until the whole onboard memory is filled before it transfers. It will transfer throughout the acquisition process.
    3) Vishal, searching the example programs will give you many of the details of programming this type of application. I don't know you application software so I can't give you the exact functions but it is easiest to look at the examples on the net (or the shipping examples with your software). Now if you are acquiring 512 bytes of data, you will start to fill your onboard memory and at the same time, data will be sent to the DMA FIFO. When the FIFO is ready to send data to the PC memory buffer, it will (the exact algorithm is dependent on many things regarding how large the DMA packet is etc.).
    4) If I understand you correctly, you want to know if you waste the other 6 bits if you only need to acquire on 10 lines. The answer to this is Yes. Although you are only acquiring 10 bits, it is acquired as a complete word (16bits) and packed and sent using DMA. You application software (NI-DAQ driver) will filter out the last 6 bits of non-data.
    Hope that answers your questions. Once again, the example code on the NI site is a great place to start this type of project. Have a good day.

  • Two related questions:  ColdFusion 10/Java applications and J2EE supported servers

    I have two related questions:
    1.  CF10 and integration with Java Web applications
    We have a couple of Java applications running on JRun and interfacing with CF9 applications.  The JRun clusters were created through the JRun Admin and, apart from lack of Axis 2.0 support, have served us well for years now.  And, as would be the case, the ColdFusion9/Java/Flash application is a critical public-facing application that the business uses for bidding on projects.
    It appears that with ColdFusion 10 on Tomcat, we will not be able to run those Java applications on a Tomcat-CF10 JVM cluster.  Is this correct?  IF so, what are our options? 
    2.  J2EE Application Servers supported by Adobe for CF10
    Which of these is correct?
    A.  This URL (http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion-enterprise/faq.html) states "ColdFusion 10 supports IBM® WebSphere, Oracle® WebLogic, Adobe JRun, Apache Tomcat, and JBoss."
    B.  This URL (http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/products/coldfusion/pdfs/cf1 0/coldfusion10-support-matrix.pdf) states:
    "J2EE application servers: WebLogic Server 10.3, 11.1, WebSphere Application Server 7, ND 7 JBoss 5.1, 6.0, 7.1.0"
    I *think* "A" above is wrong re. support for Adobe JRun.  It does not specify a version of Apache Tomcat unless it is simply referring to the custom version the comes with CF10.
    Option "B" above shows no support of Adobe JRun or 'standard' Apache Tomcat.
    Thanks,
    Scott

    Question 1 above was answered:  "No support for Java web applications under CF10's custom version of Tomcat"
    Question 2:  No answer yet:  Is Apache Tomcat (NOT Adobe's customized version) supported for CF10 J2EE deployment?  I do not see any installation instructions on how to install CF10 on Apache Tomcat 6 or 7.
    Is anybody using Apache Tomcat as their J2EE app servers and, again, NOT Adobe's customized/limited version? 
    Thanks,
    Scott

    I hate to say this, but I often see the same thing, and I've never been able to figure out exactly what triggers selectability vs. non-selectability, but I suspect some of it has to do with tranparency flattening in particular, and possibly text wrap in cases where that comes into play. ID optimizes the PDF it creates, I think, and that might cause text, or even images, to be broken into chunks in funny ways. It occurs to me that turning off optimzing for fast web view might help in this regard.

    Actually, we cannot (at least anymore) directly email the team. I tried and got a reject from the mail server.  So, I'm going to post here so I can feel better knowing I said something and then I can get back to programming :-)
    Ok, I’ve been developing Windows apps since Win 3.1 (yeah, a long time) and have always admired the Microsoft attitude towards Developers and it’s desire to educate and empower R&D.
    So, I’m wondering what’s going on?  Why am I being asked to have an account to develop anything for MY own PC?  Why am I being asked for my Microsoft account password, repeatedly, when I’m just looking up documentation on UserControl or C3 keywords…
    repeatedly?  This is nothing short of annoying and it gives me pause and concern about the ecosystem.  Is the plan to lock down programmer’s capabilities, knowledge and tools?
    I’m involved in the TAP program for Windows 10 and have voiced concerns in the same category with regard to installation and deployment of Universal Apps.  Security is not a reasonable excuse.  Some of us love to program and actually
    control their PCs.  We are not planning to sell everything we write on the Windows Store.  What happened to programming something cool for your home network or just for friends?  We need, and used to have, Microsoft’s support in doing
    this sort of thing.  Documentation and tools are more important now than ever.  I’m saddened to see the direction things are heading…
    If there is a sane reason I’m being badgered to ‘log in’ to read .NET documentation every hour, please share.  If not, please consider lobbying to get things back on track.
    Thanks

  • Button, or other panel related question

    so, if any of you have read my previous topic about painting rectangles in a panel, that worked great, but now i need to mkae those rectangles components so that when someone hovers over it or clicks on it it displays information at a certain area. I know how to make listeners and how to add buttons in a panel, BUT how do I add buttons at a specific coordinate. This program graphs data on a specific scale and therefore adding a button in the approximate area using a grid layout will not be good enough. Is there anyway for me to place the the button/component/object at the extact location that I want?
    thanks in advance

    In future GUI related questions should be posted in the appropriate GUI forum (likely Swing).

  • Exporting images for print labs - colorsync question

    Hi All,
    This is more a generic question - not pertaining to Aperture specifically, but photo workflow in general.
    When exporting pictures to print at a lab (like Costco, Ritz, Smugmug, etc), what Colorsync profile should be set in the Export Version options? sRGB is the profile Smugmug recommends, but I also have the choice of their specific ICC profiles.
    Also, how does Aperture run on the 20" iMac? I've really never gotten into printing pictures, but now I have two clients that will pay me for taking pictures! They're giving me enough money to purchase my own copy of Aperture, along with an iMac. Not enough for a dual-G5 with monitor, but if it makes a big difference, I'll throw in the extra money myself.
    Thanks,
    Robert

    When exporting pictures to print at a lab (like
    Costco, Ritz, Smugmug, etc), what Colorsync profile
    should be set in the Export Version options? sRGB is
    the profile Smugmug recommends, but I also have the
    choice of their specific ICC profiles.
    IF you have the specific output profile for the device, use that. You’ll have control over the rendering intent (well if you do the conversions in Photoshop, in Aperture, you’re “stuck” with Relative Colorimetric which usually works fine). You can control Black Point Compensation (keep it on) and at least in Adobe products, use the ACE CMM which has proven over the years to be stable and bug free.
    The only output device that can produce sRGB is a CRT display in a specific condition. The output devices above do not produce sRGB but instead assume/expect sRGB so a conversion can take place upon output. That can work but you have no idea of how the image will appear (soft proof), and you have no control over the conversions or post conversion editing. Assuming you have a good output profile for the device, convert using it, then send to the lab. But BE SURE they are ICC aware and are not expecting sRGB. There are some output profiles for such devices floating around the web, but you don’t know that the lab is expecting the file that way. If however, they do provide you an output profile for their device, you can be pretty sure they will know what to do with the files for output to their device.

  • Printer Driver problem/question....

    Using a MacBook with 10.5.1. A Linksys wireless network hooked to a desktop PC and an Epson Stylus Photo R380 printer also hooked directly to the PC.
    Problem: When the Mac is hooked up directly to the printer it works fine. However, when trying to print from it via the wireless network, the print comes out in a light, weak shade of black and colors.
    In setting up the printer, I used the only generic driver available in the list provided in the set up window for this printer, a gutenprint v5.1.3.
    Spoke to the Epson people who say that the problem is probably because I am not using the Epson driver established specifically for the OX 10.5.x...the v3.68. Therefore, I downloaded that driver and have it on my desktop.
    However, I cannot establish the printer with this driver. I am using the IP setup option. I have used the "Other" option under "Print Using" box. Then, click on downloads, then select the Epson driver, then "Open", but cannot get the driver to appear either in the list of drivers under "Select a Driver to use" or in the "Print Using" box. Nothing happens when I use "Auto" either.
    Question: How can I setup the printer with the Epson driver that I have downloaded ?
    I've spent 3 hours trying to reslve this with bot Apple Care and Epson to no avail.
    Appreciate any assistance. Thanks.

    Not sure if this helps or not, but I also have a MacBook running 10.5.1 and an Epson R380 printer. I have the printer directly connected via USB to an iMac. I then use Bonjour to print to it via my Macbook on my home network.
    With both the iMac and MacBook running Tiger, I had no printing problems at all. I had a terrible time trying to print on the R380 from the MacBook running 10.5.1 when the iMac was still running Tiger. It alternately wouldn't let me select the Epson driver for the printer, or when I could select it, the print settings options weren't available to do things like change the print quality or paper type. I downloaded the latest Epson drivers and made sure they were installed on both Macs. I also tried the gutenprint driver packaged with Leopard and I couldn't get it to print at all.
    However, when I upgraded the iMac where the printer was connected to Leopard, it started to work perfectly from the MacBook.
    I know with your set up you have the printer connected to a PC so this isn't exactly relevant. But I thought I'd confirm at least there does seem to be something in general funky with the Epson R380 drivers and using Leopard.

  • Print to PDF questions

    I have two questions. I have Acrobat 7 running on 10.5.2 on a new MBP.
    1. I can no longer successfully select the Adobe printer from the printer pop-u[p menu in the print dialog box. If I do, things seem to proceed, but the printer immediately goes to pause and will not resume. This is not a major problem, as the PDF button appears at the bottom left and that will save the file to PDF. But I am curious as to why the Adobe "virtual" printer no longer works.
    2. Previously, when using the PDF button, I could edit the menu and save PDFs to a folder of my choice. Now, when I select "edit the menu" and then hit the "+" button, I get the appropriate dialog box but cannot select a folder. I can open folders, but cannot select them as the "save to" folder. Any help here would be appreciated.

    Some things that used to work in Tiger no longer work in Leopard. I suspect that Adobe did not rush to fix it because there is built-in way to generate PDF files already.

    The Edit Menu feature is not designed to select a folder to save your PDF files into. It is so you can select an Automator workflow script to process your PDF file. That's how it handles such tasks as Mail PDF and Save PDF to iPhoto. You could create an Automator script to save a PDF to a particular folder, but in my experience, once you save a PDF to a folder, it becomes the default folder automatically until you select a different one.
