Printer Agents stopping at odd times

Hi,
Migrated iPrint from NW 6.5 to OES Linux Sp2 Cluster. It was running
fine for 2 days, than it started to stop working at odd times.
PrintManager is still running, but all the Agents are stopped. In the
Log File the following Message appears:
WARNING The iPrint Manager failed to establish a context handle
with DS server.
After Restarting the PM it runs fine again - for a couple hours... It
probably has something to do with a PrintServer that makes troubles
too.
Anyone experienced the same or knows about the Error?

Hi, just wanted to report back, that the problem is fixed.
Had nothing to do with the iPrint or Cluster enabled resource - just
was a very old Printer, that caused the troubles by trying to access
that very old Printerbox. It's running fine since that is deleted out
of iPrint PM.

This is the third time in the past several weeks when my printer just stopped printing for no reason

I have a windows 7 laptop and a HP 8500 officejet fax....my printer has stopped printing again....I have disconnected everything and it still won't print.

How is the printer connected - USB, wired LAN, or Wireless LAN? Are there any error messages?
Running the diagnostics at http://www.hp.com/go/tools may help resolve the issue.

GroupWise POA Agent stopping several times a week.

We have two servers Suse Linux 11.1 64/OES11 with services GroupWise 8.0.2, (POA, MTA and GWIA), we have two post offices, one with 300 and another with 500 users.
When this service was running GroupWise on Netware 6.5, worked perfectly. After migrating to Suse Linux / OES, got a problem with the POA agents, stopping several times a week.
Initially imagined it could be the version of linux suse 10.4 with OES2.3, did a fresh install on two new servers with 11.1 suse linux 64 and OES11, but the problem remains unsolved.
Anyone know if Novell has already found the solution for this problem, because I have a friend with the same problem in your company and is using the GroupWise 2012.

We are having a similar issue (GroupWise POA Agent stopping several times a week). SLES 11 SP1, OES 11, GW build 8.0.3-103395. Output from "dmesg | grep gwpoa" follows:

How common is it that the on/off button stops working? Time to throw away the ipod touch? Safe to fly? No more "print screen"?

I want to stop my printer from printing the same thing every time I turn it on.

HP 6500A: how do I cancel printing jobs so that the printer doesn't continue to reprint them?

Hi Mjs51,
Try this - Assumes Windows 7 (you didn't say what OS your are using):
Turn Off the printer.
Start > search / type, then click on "Control Panel" > icon view > Administrative Tools >
Services > Click on "Name" to sort by name > Scroll down, look for "Print spooler" > Stop
Leave that Services window open...
Open a Windows Explorer window:
Start > search / type, then click on "Windows Explorer" > type / paste in the title bar (to the right of the <--> arrows C:\Windows\System32\spool\PRINTERS
Alternatively, you can poke at each folder name (Windows > System32...) until you get to the folder named PRINTERS
Remove (delete) all the files you see in that folder directory.
(Highlight > Right-Click > Delete)
Go back to the Services window:
"Restart" the Print spooler service
NOTE: If you cannot stop / start the spoolsv service, try Right-Click on services and "Run as Administrator" to give you permission to control the services.
Unplug the printer, wait a bit (One minute), plug it back in...turn it on.
NOTE: There may be a buffer cache clear selection on the Printer - you could check on the front panel of the Printer Menu. Try this in the event that you cannot get to the outlet to unplug the printer OR try it in place of unplugging the printer. Choice.
I hope this helps solve your printer problem.

IPrint: Manage Printer: Printer State: Stopped

Hello all,
We are having an unusual error on a recently installed OES SP2 iPrint
install. At this location there are five different HP printers, one of
which is in a current printer state of "stopped" with two additional
messages below the state of "other-report" and "other-error".
I've re-named the printer, removed the printer, changed the printer's
IP address all with no success at resolving the printer's "stopped"
status.
The remaining 4 printers at the sight all behave normally. The printer
can be accessed via webjet admin and appears to operate normally there.
Any ideas?

Thanks Andre for the solution,
I don't believe that changing this everytime it doesn't work is the answer though. We have nearly 100 print servers in our environment. We've migrated half of two of those servers so far, and already encountered an instance of this issue. Hopefully this does not begin happening multiple times for the same printer agents.

We don't know why the first configuration was suddenly out of work after

environment they have the same original config and still work without
any problem.
The problem was solved after we changed the config from
iprintgw PORT=LPR HOSTADDRESS=123.123.123.123 PRINTERNAME=port1
to
iprintgw PORT=RAW HOSTADDRESS=123.123.123.123

Format Payments (Evergreen): Limiting users to only print 1 copy at a time

Hey all,
We are running across something that some of you must have experienced in submitting your BIP reports like AP checks.
I want to force the number of copies to 1 when printing a particular job. (Format Payments) which the next step would be "XML Reports Publisher".
Our users are NOT to be allowed to accidentally print more than 1 copy of this job at a time. They are using check stock and I have to keep them from "accidentally" printing too many at one time.
First, I tried simply setting the Concurrent Copies profile to "1" for that responsibility. Not acceptable because the user can override it.
Second, I tried personalizing the form FNDRSRUN but I couldn't keep the copies from being "editable" by the user.
I have an SR open with Oracle and they asked me to first, modify the printer driver:
Our driver looks like this:
SRW Driver: PSTPL
Driver Method: Program
Driver Method Parameters: Spool File (Checked)
Program Name: FNDPSTAX
Arguments: -pn$PROFILES$.PRINTER -f$PROFILES$.FILENAME -c1 -Fpasta_pdf_legal.cfg
I would expect only 1 copy to print but when I submit/requests the job for 2 it does in fact print 2. I am stopping/starting the concurrent managers after I change the driver.
Anyone know of a way to restrict the copies to 1 where the user can't change it?
Thanks,
AG

Rownald,
Correct, when I submit the concurrent request with 0, nothing prints, 1, one copy prints, 2, two copies print, etc...
I have tried sending the command from the OS command line and it works up until i try to send in the number of copies by substituting -c with -c2 or -c1. I get an Illegal Option -2" message.
I've tried to personalize the form concurrent request form(FNDRSRUN) but it I can't keep "copies" from being changeable by the user.
Maybe I will have to look into the bursting option.
Thank you.
AG

Imposed document only prints one copy at a time

Hi,
Printing a 100 page 25 sheet imposed 8.5 x 14 Acrobat document is limited to only one copy. At the end of the first copy printing; printer stops and requests letter-size paper, for drawer one,
printer default is set for 8.5 x 14 and first print ran from drawer 2.
Older CS 2 imposed files, imposed by Lowly Apprentice, still print multiple copies on HP 4200 duplex.
OS 10.5.8 iMac duo core intel.
ID CS5 book > flight test clear > .pdf > open with Acrobat 9.3.2 > impose with Quite Imposing > save imposed pdf > prints only one at a time
then printer stops and asks for different paper in different drawer.
Garrett

Hi Garrett,
I'm glad your back in production. As for the issue you're having with the printer you'll have to contact HP or Adobe.
Quite Imposing Plus doesn't Print, it just imposes the PDF pages and Acrobat is the Printer.
I'll send this off to Engineering to see if they have any other thought why it might be doing this. However, if all the pages are the same size and the orientation is the same, I've never heard of Acrobat and HP not printing correctly.
cheers,
Charles

Subject: One copy only
Hi Charles, I have a second printer related symptom you might wish to know. Printing is limited to only one copy. At the end of the first printing; printer stops and requests letter-size paper, for drawer one, printer default is set for 8.5 x 14, first print ran from drawer 2. Older imposed files from CS 2, not qi, still print multiple copies on HP 4200 duplex, slow yet reliable, and repairable. OS 10.5.8 iMac duo core intel. CS5 with Acrobat 9.3.2 Luckily, I'm probably the smallest international publisher on planet earth. Not so luckily, with eleven years of untrained habits. Anyway, I figured I should run this by you first. Thanks for putting me back in production. Cheers, Garrett PS > The auto rotate and center function on/off selectors are grouped as one, Acrobat print dialog; result in preview is vertical instead of landscape, one page rather than two.

HP printer has stopped working - Laserjet p1006

I just installed Windows® 8 Consumer Preview and my HP printer has stopped working. I am using the Laserjet p1006 and I have tried everything, reinstalling the printer, re-downloading drivers etc. but to no avail. Are there new drivers available that work with Windows 8?
Update:
The printer is installed and driver has been picked up by Windows but every time I try and print something, it gives me an error that the document could not be printed.
Any suggestions

Really Thanks God
i Found solution of this problem Randomly only by praying
The solution
Connect The p1005 printer to a pc have windows 7 and print a page with it and get the cable connected to windows 8 after that and go to control panel > hardware and sounds > Device and printer > hp laser jet p1005 Right click > Printer properties > ports > uncheck bidirectional support then press ok and print ,, it works
Note : after doing the pervious steps if u turned the printer off u will need to connect it to windows 7 pc again and print and connect it to windows 8 it will work without the pervious steps //
it seems like if windows 7 gives it information that is reseted after turn it off
we wish windows 8 to solve this problem nearly

Printer has stopped printing in black, HP Printer Photosmart 5514

My printer suddenly stopped printing in black. We have two computers networked wirelessly, and from my husband's computer there are no problems. From my computer I can print other colors, but not black. Test prints print in colors but not black. I have tried uninstalling software, reinstalling, and reconfiguring for wireless without success. Reinstallation seems to have gone OK but problem is not resolved. I have also tried to connect via a USB port, but no success here either. I turned off the firewall for the last installation but this did not help either.
Printer: HP Photosmart 5514
OS: Windows 7
No error message just blank pages
No system changes made
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Start by following the troubleshooting steps in this document, especially check the vent as shown in step three of Solution Six.
I suspect when you print the test page in Solution Six there will be no black ink on the page. Most likely the computer you have that appears to print in black has its media settings set to photo paper, which would use the color inks to print black.
If the printer is in warranty I would suggest you Contact HP for replacement.

Acrobat 7.0 convert printing multiple bookmarks as odd pages

Hi all,
A common problem I've been having is being sent .pdf's with bookmarks, and only one page; the rest bookmarks. How can I print them as 'odd pages' then print as 'even pages' so I'm not wasting lots of paper. Also too time consuming to print one page at a time.
Any help greatfully received.
Regards
Darren

Thanks I'm aware of that feature.
The bookmarks are there, but there aren't any pages. You have to click on the bookmark to display said page. There is a total of 30 documents (pages but we won't call them that as they are bookmarks). When you go to print you need to click on the bookmark/page you want to print, and it only recognises that page. Not the other 29 bookmarks.
My understanding/research on bookmarks indicates pages are needed. However this document is not showing that at, the bookmarks are treated as pages. As I did not create the document I wonder what the scandal is???

JS: How to make a script to print one page at a time and set print job name?

What I want is to print one page at a time to the printer.
Document.print(false, app.printerPresets.item(0)) almost get me there. But how do I get it to print page by page? There seems to be no way to set which page to print to printerPreset.
Also, is it possible to change print job name from the default of using document name?

>Is there any solution to this other than saving the document to a different name before each page print?
Here is an altered and abriged version of the script that I use. I use print preset called "PS to PDF" in it, so you should change it to your own.
if(app.documents.length == 0){
   alert("Please open a document and try again.");
   exit();
var myFolder = Folder ("~/Desktop");
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myNoExtention = getFileNameOnly (myDoc.name);
var myPrintPrefs = myDoc.printPreferences;
if (app.printerPresets.item("PS to PDF") == null) {
   alert("Preset \"PS to PDF\" has not been installed");
   exit();
else {
   myPrintPrefs.activePrinterPreset = app.printerPresets.item("PS to PDF");
myDoc.sections.everyItem().sectionPrefix = "";
myDoc.sections.everyItem().includeSectionPrefix = false;
   var stop = myDoc.pages.length;
   var w = new Window ( 'window', 'Printing PS-files' );
   var pb = w.add ('progressbar', [12, 12, 300, 24], 0, stop);
   var txt = w.add('statictext');
   txt.bounds = [0, 0, 200, 20];
   txt.alignment = "left";
   w.show()
for(var myCounter = 0; myCounter < myDoc.pages.length; myCounter++){
   curPage = myCounter + 1;
   pb.value = curPage;
   var myText = String("Page " + curPage + " of " + myDoc.pages.length);
   txt.text = myText;
   var myPageName = myDoc.pages.item(myCounter).name;
   var cornumber = pagenum(myPageName);
   var myFilePath = myFolder + "/" + myNoExtention + "_" + cornumber + ".ps";
   var myFile = new File(myFilePath);
   myPrintPrefs.pageRange = myPageName;
   myPrintPrefs.printFile = myFile;
   myDoc.print(false);
w.hide();
alert("Done!");
function pagenum(myNumber){
   if (myNumber >= 1 && myNumber <= 9)
   x = "0" + "0" + myNumber;
   else if (myNumber >= 10 && myNumber <= 99)
   x = "0" + myNumber;
   else if (myNumber >= 100 && myNumber <= 999)
   x = myNumber;
return x
function getFileNameOnly (myFileName) {
   var myString = "";
   var myResult = myFileName.lastIndexOf(".");

Hp f2280 printing only black&white via time capsule

HP f2280 printing only black&white via time capsule
anyone have this problem before?

I have just purchased the latest Time Capsule and have exactly the same problem with my HP F2280 when printing from my iMac. Very odd. So started surfing the web and it appears we are not alone and there is no easy fix. Anyway it appears the scanner will not work via the TC either, never crossed my mind when I purchased it that I would have such problems. Two thumbs down for TC
