Printer drop folder

Is there an easy way within the OS or with a simple utility to create a drop folder that prints PDF files to a given printer with a given page setup, or even a default page setup?

I don't think so. I have a program that will sling files around from one folder or volume to another. I want to use that program to toss a pdf file into a hot folder that will result in it being sent to a printer.
But I appreciate the info on how to create one. I knew under Tiger, but since the menu item for making the desktop printer was missing in Leopard, I thought that functionality was lost.

Missing Print Templates Folder

I have recently purchased some blog templates and I can not install them because I have no print templates folder.
I go edit-preferences-show lightroom folder- lightroom- and there is no print templates folder to drop the templates into.
Please help!
Thanks!

I assume you mean, Edit / Preferences... [presets tab] Location: [Show Lightroom Presets Folder]. If you haven't yet saved any print presets of your own, then LR has not yet had any need of a User folder to contain such. So one may not yet have been made.
The easiest way to get LR to do that, (and to be sure that you are looking in the right place) : click the + icon next to Template Browser in Print module.
IOW: save a dummy print preset, doesn't matter about its contents, but enter some very distinctive name and then click Create. By default this should go into "User Templates", which is made as necessary, though you can choose to make a differently named folder if you prefer.
Full path on my Win8.1 is C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Print Templates\User Templates
Then take a look in Explorer and see what has changed - if there's any problem, you can always disk search for whatever distinctive template name you have just entered. Copy your other bought templates alongside this new dummy print preset, restart LR and you should be able to start using any of those. Delete the dummy preset in due course.
(Note that it is quite usual for built-in LR presets to be held somewhere quite different, than user created or user added items. The provided choices such as "(1) 4 x 6" and "custom 1 over 2" may not be findable anywhere on disk, for example.)

How to monitor Print Spool folder in Business Objects XI R2 - Crystal report

Hi Guru's
We recently had a issue where disc space was full in BO server and it was down. The reason was there was one job in print spool folder which was eating up whole space in C drive.
We had to stop the print spool service and delete the jobs and restart it back.
In order to prevent this from happening what can be done??.
One way that my client suggested is to write a script where in it will send us the size of print spool folder every hour so we can find the report which is causing this. I have no idea how this can be done.
This happened once and I dont have an answer when my manager asks will it happen again. Is there a way where we can monitor this or stop this from happening.
My current environment is
BOXI R2 , crystal report XI is the reporting tool.
Thanks.

Normally you should run your CR reports in the INfoView. You can start a report either by double clicking on it or by selecting View in the context menu. Still in order to fetch data you have to press the Refresh button in the CR viewer window (in the InfoView).
In the CMC I assume that you are using the Run now option in the context menu. Please note that this will just schedule your report immediatelly. hen the report is scheduled a new instance is created hich is available in the History of the report. In order to see a report in the CMC select again View in the context menu and you can again fetch data by pressing the Refresh button.

8500 Premier All-in-One printer drops offline

Periodically my wireless printer drops offline and I cannot print. This happens randomly on different PCs on the wireless network. Usually restarting the print spooler on the PC that cannot print solves the problem but sometimes I need to shut the printer down and restart it. While that generally clears the problem the printer gives me a warning that it had been shutdown improperly, even though I used the on/off button. Various PCs on the network are running Windows XP and Windows 7 -- all have this problem.

The printer does not disconnect from the network as far as I can tell as other PCs can still print and the Network report from the printer control panel shows me an IP addressl. It just goes offilne for for pne user. In XP we can see the "Printer Offline" status and click "Use online" but that is harder to find in Windows 7.
I have not upgraded firmware or software recently. I had a problem installitng and the HP Solution Center tells me it cannt run as my device installation is not complete. I have donwloaded and tried to install OJP8500vA909_Full_14.exe several times with no success. I also have HP_Smart_Web_Printing_v4.6.exe and hppiw.exe -- not sure if they are still installed.

Saving iCal as PDF...don't have Save As PDF in Print drop down

Can someone help me figure out how to save iCal as PDF? I read the thread about saving as PDF in the print drop down however I don't have "save as PDF" anywhere in the iCal print drop down. Am I just blind ?:)
thanks

You should find Export... in both the File menu and the Share menu.
For PDF, you may find it simpler to go through the Print dialogue:
Press command-P to open the dialogue,
Choose one of the options in the menu of the PDF button at lower left of the dialogue,

Create Drop Folder With Drop Only

Mini Server, Mid 2011, 2 GHz, Intel Core i7, OSX 10.9.4
I have my server with a static ip and would like to create a password protected folder with drop only features. I tried Pure FTP software for this, what info do I need to give my client to access this folder? I tried the static ip number from outside my network, no good. Any helpful hints are appreciated.
Thanks

Linc, Thanks for the reply. I am attempting to make a drop folder on my server for an outside person to drop only. I am not sure exactly how best to do this. New to the server world and this type of thing. I attempted to use Pure FTP, however, I am unable to access the fold from outside my net. Looking for the correct address to access this from outside, works fine using my ip address from inside the net. I attempted using my server software, but get lost on exactly what information to use to login to this folder.

How to get a build definition with Online TFS and a shared drop folder

Hi,
We VSTS Premium license. We use online TFS as source control.
I want to make a build definition. Use Team Explorer for the same.
I get error message when I enter a shared path as my build drop location.
Please find below the image showing the difference. Radio box highlighted in Red does not work and Green does. I want to use the shared drop folder option.
Exception Message: TF270016: An error occurred publishing log files from '' to ''. Details: The network path was not found.
I found this message in lots of posts and have tried the following -
1) Everyone has full access to the folder.
2) 'NETWORK SERVICE' also has full access.
But the above didn't work.
Looks like this is a known one. Can you please suggest a solution?
Appreciate the help.
NewbieVSTSTest2013

Hi NVT,
Thanks for your post.
Yes, Chaminda is right, Hosted Build Controller not support the UNC path. You can install On-premise Build Server for your VSO Account if you want copy build output to UNC drop location. Or we suggest you select Copy build output to Source Control folder
or Copy to server when you’re using Host Build Controller.

Mail enabled list not picking up items from the drop folder.

Hi all,
I'm sorry if this has already been addressed but my searches didn't turn up anything that helped.
Our site has some mail enabled lists, that used to work and now do not. Here is a list of things I've verified and done.
1. Verified that email reaches the drop folder.
2. Verified that the list accepts messages from any sender.
3. Verified that the incoming email address is the same as the sender.
4. In Central Admin verified the settings mode is set to advanced, that the SMTP mail server for incoming mail is correct, and that the e-mail drop folder is correct.
5. Restarted the Sharepoint 2010 Timer Service.
6. Restarted the IIS server that hosts the virtual SMTP Server, and restarted the IIS server hosts sharepoint.
7. Verified that the service account has permission to the drop folder.
8. Looked through event log and found nothing.
9. Verified Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Incoming E-Mail is running.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!
Update: Looking through Event Viewer an error along this line appears.

HandbreakCLI drop folder script HELP!

Im trying to get this script to work that passes a file through a drop folder, processes it with HandbreakCLI, then outputs the encoded file to a folded named "iflicks encode" in my "Movies" folder.
My problem is that I can't figure out how to modify the script to direct the file into the "iflicks encode" folder. Im sure this is a easy fix for some of the more knowledgeable users out there, help would be greatly appreciated.

If I'm reading your post and script correctly, this is pretty trivial.
The AppleScript ultimately does its thing by invoking two shell commands - one to convert the file and the second to move the file to its ultimate desintation. Your solution lies in changing that second command.
Here's the relevant line:
set ReplaceOriginalCmd to "mv -f " & tmpFile & " " & destFold & "'" & itemName & ".m4v" & "'"
This command moves tmpFile to destFold which was previously defined as:
set destFold to "HD(Mini):Users:jaredcraig:Movies:test:"
Now that won't work (and I'm surprised it doesn't choke on you right now) because you haven't specified a UNIX-style path which uses / to delimit directories. In either case, changing this line to the desired destination directory should solve your problem, e.g.:
set destFold to quoted form of "/Users/jaredcraig/Movies/iflicks encode/"
(note you need to use 'quoted form of' since the path includes spaces which will choke most shell commands)

ViewNotify service is not parsing XML from View Drop folder

Hi,
The view drop folder has now 2200 odd XML files which were not parsed from sometime now. We took a backup of this folder and started processing files one by one.
We had to restart the Service after sometime , the processing time is not uniform it ranges from 10 sec to 600 sec for one file. When parsing in bulk , sometime parsing 5 in batch is successful whereas at times it does not parse in batches.
Any suggestion on the available utility to automate the process where one file is parsed and then service is restarted.

Siddharth

Been using Macs since classic. Using MBP, OS 10.7.5. Trying to figure out how to print/save folder contents (Name, Date Modified, Size Kind) of entire (non-visible) folder? Any apps that can do this?

Been using Macs since before classic. Using MBP, OS 10.7.5. Trying to figure out how to print/save folder contents including what's not visible on screen (Name, Date Modified, Size Kind) in entire folder?
Screen shots are getting old hat.
Tried select all, copy, paste into pages, but it didn't display date modified, size & kind, and also included images of selected files, which is too large.
Any apps/shortcuts/utilities that can do this? Thanks in advance.

Hello Achates:
I did not read the rather long post. If you wish to reinstall OS X 10.4, use your software install DVD. Backup is essential. To minimize your risk, I would use an archive and install:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
In that way, you will have a fresh copy of OS X and your current settings will be preserved.
Incidentally, I do not agree that the printer problem is best solved by reinstalling OS X. I have had HP printers for sometime and, on one occasion, had difficulty after an upgrade. HP technical support walked me through uninstalling all traces of the HP driver and then reinstalling.

Not Receiving Incoming Email from Drop folder

Hello,
I hope that someone out there will be able to help me with this issue. I am fairly new to MOSS2007 but belive that I have configured e-mail to list correctly, I followed the steps set out by Steve Smith
http--www.combined-knowledge.com-Downloads-How%20to%20configure%20Email%20Enabled%20Lists%20in%20Moss2007%20RTM%20using%20Exchange%202003.pdf
The process all follows fine and when I attempt to send to a configured mail enables list I can see the mail make it to the drop folder as it should. This is where the problem occurs, it is never picked up by the Windows SharePoint Services Timer service. The e-mail's I send just sit in the drop folder and nothing is happening.
As this is a fairly simple thing to setup there isn't a great deal of troubleshooting info out there and most of it just says check the basics like making sure that in the central administration console>Incomming Mail Settings the drop folder is specified as C:\inetpub\mailroot\drop (which it is)
I've been through the event logs and those created by sharepoint but can't see anything that looks like an error causing this issue and nothing in the applications logs either. I'm in limbo at the moment because so far as I can see I have setup correctly, mail delivery is succesful and nothing to suggest what is causing the issue.
I have reset the permissions on the drop folder to grant full access to the service account that runs the Windows SharePoint Services Timer service, I have even added the Windows SharePoint Services Timer service account to the domain administrators group to try and make sure its not a permissions issue.
Any advise would be appreciated because I've ran out of idea's now!?
Thanks in advance.
Drew

Hi,
Did you select “Directory Management Service” option, if so, please make sure you configure the Central Administration application pool identity account to have the Create, delete, and manage user accounts right to the container that you specify in Active Directory.
Did you install Exchange server 2003 in your MOSS environment? If so, you should add an SMTP connector in Exchange Server, if you don’t know how to do that, you can post your issue into the following forum:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchangesvrdeploy/threads
Also, please check whether your configuration meet the following requirements, If not, correct them and check the effect.
· The application pool account for Central Administration, the logon account for the Windows SharePoint Services Timer service, and the application pool accounts for your Web applications should have the correct permissions to the e-mail drop folder.
· The domain controller running Active Directory has a Mail Exchanger (MX) entry in DNS Manager for the mail server that you plan to use for incoming e-mail.
For more information about how to configure incoming e-mail settings, please refer to the following article:

Sharepoint emails struck in Drop folder

Hi ,
We are having shared hosting environment and host sites for multiple clients. The emails to document library does not work for one client suddenly where as for other clients it works fine with out any issue.
The emails are struck in drop folder, i tried to recycle timerjob, checked the ULS logs and no clue.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks much

Hi,
According to your description, the emails to document library struck in drop folder in one clients.
I have done a test in my SharePoint 2013 and I can't reproduced your issue.
For your issue, try to do the following:
Check the Incoming E-Mail Settings. changed in Configure Incoming E-Mail Settings->Settings mode to
ADVANCED and specified E-mail drop folder Path :c:\inetpub\mailroot\drop.
Check the Locks and the quotas and make a quota anyway that bigger than your current usage.
Go to SharePoint Central Admin > Application Management > Configure Quota and Locks->make a quota that bigger than your current usage.

Yep, you have the Nov CU. This is a bug with no resolution as of yet, that I'm aware of. I spoke with another
SharePoint MVP who indicated that
flushing the Config Cache resolved it in a scenario he saw it in.
I can't reproduce the bug in my lab environment.
