Printer not installed error when using reports server

Im using three NTYRE architecture when i have to run my application on 128kbps leazed line network across 30 units,requirement is to generate text output at the client side for printing some report formats in character mode.
im trying to generate a text file on server and then download to local machine for printing .but reports server gives an error printer not installed,
i have checking administrative security probs in WINNT ,
pls suggest or is there any other way to generate text reports in NTIER arch.

Hi,
You may want to check if a printer is installed in your WinNt system. Reports picks up font information from the default
printer installed in the system when we attempt to generate to file.

HP 7210 all in one printer installation error on windows 8.1 update

We recently got updated by Microsoft from windows 8 to 8.1. After that time, the scanning function did not work as it did before and the HP menu utility was different. I went through the HP Info service and it said the printer software was not fully functional. I then was told to download the latest hp install software for the 7210, which I did for windows 8/8.1. The install stops with a fatal MCI error code 1935. I then went to the troubleshooting guide for error codes (the example box shows almost an identical error message to mine) but it only shows windows XP, Vista, and 7.0. There is no troubleshooting guide for windows 8 or 8.1 with this code. I then followed the "HP Solutions for Install Errors (Windows 8.0 and 8.1) and performed all the tasks. I updated windows to current and same error. I then shut off all startup services and got the same error. I am now out of idea's or help.
The printer has been great and we have had no problem with it since we've owned it. At this time we are without a printer completely because the install process removed the previous installed software.
Forgot to mention this is using USB connection, but the install never gets far enough to ask me to connect it, so it really doesn't matter.
Any advice would be extremely welcome.
Thank you
Joe

Windows 7 64 bit / Server 2012 R2 GUI - Type 4 Print Driver error "Cannot connect to the Printer" 0x00000002

Hello, We have multiple Server 2003 Print server and are working on testing a Server 2012 print server. We have run into an issue where a PRINTER (type 4, normal) works with our Windows 7 32 bit clients, Windows 8.1 64 bit clients and the
2012 R2 server, but when trying to install to a windows 7 64 bit clients using \\SERVER\PRINTER we are getting the above message. (The printer is not offered currently in the directory).
I have been scouring the Google and Bing and have yet to find a satisfactory description that matches this issue. Nor have I found other information that resolve this issue. Like, blaming this on the spooler or DLL fixes or Reg hacks (applied
on the client side).
Specifically, we have used the native 2012 R2 drivers "Ricoh Class Driver", "HP LaserJet 4240 PCL6 Class Driver" and "Xerox Phaser 6120 Class Driver"
If I use a Type 3 driver from Xerox I am able to print from the Windows 7 64 bit client to the print device, but I was hoping to get all of my clients onto 1 driver. I understand that I might be able to use some sort of WMI filtering in our GPO
deployments for the Windows 7 64 bit clients when we go live but this sort of <gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="55af8faf-887d-4ea5-9032-7c14b199df0f" id="db4a1e65-db1b-4c94-bd84-20ffc96288ce">henky</gs>.
Please, provide some knowledge. Either a solution to this issue or acknowledgement that separate driver will be required. Thank You!!!!!

Printer Communication Error

I've owned an Epson 1280 printer for about a year now, but for some reason it no longer prints. When I print a document the pop-up message reads: "Printer communication error, try reseting printer and try again"
But that still doesnt work. My system profile can read the printer, but my printer list can not.
When I try to add a printer via Printer Setup Utility, it can't find the new drivers. Even after installing new drivers from the Epson website.
What is this communication error? And how can I fix it?
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9) Printer: Epson 1280 | DVD RW: Sony DRX 810UL

I never found an answer to my problem. I just used the lazy way of troubleshooting any problem.
I just reinstalled my OS and archived the previous system. Everything is fine again. My Epson 1280 prints, YES!

Print internal error when tring to print PPA document

Hello experts,
    We got a problem when we tried to print out PPA document in HR system using t-code PHAP_ADMIN_PA. The system always shows the message Error when printing: Internal error. And message no: HRHAP00_DOCUMENT160.
    I have searched the forum but I have no idea how can I check and how can I do to solve this problem. Can anyone help me?
    Any help will be highly appreciated.

Hi Joseph,
This error is usually linked to an incorrect configuration of the printer.
Please check the following notes for information on the type of printer supported for PDF
   685571 - Printing PDF-based forms
Check also your ADS settings (or install it if it's not already done as it is required for PDF as well).
The installation steps you can fbe found in ADS Configuration Guide:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/37/504b8cbc2848a494facfdc09a359b1/frameset.htm
Once installed or if it's there already then please check the following:
Execute the ADS test program "FP_TEST_00" in your system, check whether form is being displayed once you specify the
printer name. Also, could you check in transaction SM59 the ADS status?
In order to print an appraisal form, you need:
1- the Adobe Document Services (ADS) installed and well configured
   on a J2EE engine in your system landscape
2- an appropriate connection called ADS maintained in SM59
ADS configuration guide is available on Help Portal.http://help.sap.com/nw2004s
-> SAP NetWeaver Library -> Technology Consultant's Guide ->Cross-NetWeaver Configurations -> Adobe Document Services ->Configuration.
Please also make sure, that ADS is used on a supported platform. You can check the Product Availability Matrix (PAM) for informationabout supported plattforms for ADS.Link: http://service.sap.com/pam

Java Install error 1603 on Java 8u45

I am having issues getting Java to Install on a Windows 7 Pro PC in a stand alone environment.
Error Code 1603. Java is needed on this PC to be able to print shipping labels from FEDEX.com. I am trying to install using the administrator account. I have removed previous versions of Java. I have removed the MS updated KB2918614.
The java uninstall tool doesn't run because Java is required to run the java uninstall tool. I have run multiple Microsoft Fixit Tools. This is the second PC I have had this error with in this office. Does anyone have any thing more to offer that
might assist me. I have "Google'd" this error for 2 weeks now. Help would be greatly appreciated, Thank You!

Hi,
According to official site of Oracle, This is a known issue with Microsoft KB2918614The root causes of these errors are under investigation. If this error still persists after uninstalled this update.
You could try following zooeyhall’s suggestion to download and install a previous version of Java or try creating a new administrative user account and install Java with the new account.

Photosmart C4599 w. iMac OS 10.6.8 won't print. Error message "pipe broken" gone; still wont print

Printer would not print. The error message: "Pipe broken. printer cartridges can't move, Open door and release cartridges." However, when I opened the door they moved to the left and out of sight; I didn't see a broken pipe. When I closed the door, they moved back to the right. Did this several times, installed a new black cartridge because mine was low, got a message to align printer, which I did. Printer printed the alignment sheet, which I then scanned in and learned alignment was OK. Printer still did not print although error message had disappeared. Then I followed all of the steps in HP's troubleshooting support (all of which I'd done on my own before) Got a message Printer Ready, but printer still doesn't print. I tried some other files too, in case that one was corrupted in some way.
I just tried again - with a new file.No success. New error message: Unable to connect with printer; will try in 30 seconds. All lights on the printer are fine, including the wireless light.
Can someone help? Many thanks.

Check print cartridge error

I installed a new black cartridge in my HP PSC 1410 All-in-One. It printed a sheet to align the cartridges, but it won't scan, and I can't find HP Utilities or Scan or Toolbox on my MAC.
I tried taking one cartridge out, then the other. That did not help. I also tried turning everything off, no luck. The only thing that happened was the printer printed another aligning sheet.
Any suggestions??
Thanks

Hello apgrams,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you're receiving a few problems with the PSC 1410. I will do my best to assist you! What is your operating system on your Mac computer? Click here to find out.
Are you still receiving "Check Print Cartridges" error?
Is this alignment sheet missing colors? If not, then please follow these steps:
1) Remove all ink cartridges from the printer, then close the door
2) Remove the power cord from the printer (Do not press the power button)
3) Wait 60 seconds or more, then plug the power cord back in
4) Wait for the printer to turn on completely, then install the ink cartridges
5) Try to print another alignment page
I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great night!

USB Printing - client-error-request-value-too-long

A little while back, my iSight suddenly stopped working and so I did a full format and reinstall to 'fix' the problem. The problem wasn't 'fixed' through this action. Instead, I had to disconnect power and let the computer sit there for a bit and think about what it had done (naughty iMac). Anyway... Another USB-related problem just popped up - this time with my printer.
The printer is a Canon IP4000 and I just installed the latest drivers to try to fix this error. The first error was something about not being able to write to the device. I thought that was stupid and would probably be fixed by deleting the printer and then reinstalling it. I have so far 'uninstalled' the printer (more or less just removed it from the printers list in the printer utility) and now I can't re-add it to the list to install it. The error reads as follows:
An error occurred while trying to add the selected printer.
client-error-request-value-too-long
I have tried Google but I just don't have the time to sort through all kinds of explainations on how CUPS works on Linux (apparently, this error is related to CUPS in some way). I also tried searching the forum for the error message but found nothing. So here I am again asking for some help from those who might have seen this problem before.
This is on a fresh install and I have tried it on newly created users to no avail.
Thanks for any help! -Thomas

I've recently had this error which came up because the spool folder was missing. In the terminal:
sudo mkdir /private/var/spool
sudo mkdir /private/var/spool/cups
puts the proper folders in their place. Repair permissions afterwards.
Through the cups web interface, the error is "Request entity too large"
Panther has the same folders, but a different error comes up.
The above cups folder has different permissions than the default. Probably the same for Tiger and Panther but just to be safe, repair permissions.

Print Cartridge Error (Electrical Failed Pen)

I'm using an HP Deskjet F4400 series, and I just replaced my empty black cartridge. Prior to that, the color cartridge was around 75% full. After installing the black cartridge, I have an error with the color cartridge, Print Cartridge Error (Electrical Failed Pen). I found a thread that suggested cleaning the contacts, but I still have the same error, and cannot use the printer. Please help!
This question was solved.

Hi, you could try doing a reset (check out this link ), then try to reseat the cartridges and perform an alignment (details here ). Does this solve the problem?

Hi Freind,
I hope you are doing good.
Q1l:-
Are these printers really physically attached to your Ultra-* parallel port (/dev/ecpp0)?
and what device is "/dev/lp1"?
Answer:-
"/dev/lp1" which is printer "T" and "/dev/ecpp0" which is printer "Alis" are configured at OS level via "printmgr" on the same machine.
This machine hostname is "tprinter" which is a print server. It is connected physically to "CIMA6120 LINE PRINTER".
[what I meant is: what physical port is this printer attached to on the Solaris machine? is this a Ultra 5/10/60 machine? I don't recall the /dev/ecpp port
existing on any modern sun hardware]
"failed to open printer port" can mean:
Answer2:- It's is a 25 pin serial port cable connected to 25 pin parallel port of Optiplex GX100 machine. I installed solaris 10 x86 to make print server. as our CIMA6120 its not a network printer, and our company want to print reports from oracle application to this printer.
Q:-you have attached your printer to the wrong port?
Answer: it is connected to the correct port.
[again . . how do you know this or test this?]
Answer2:- it is connected at the rare panel of the machine on a 25-hole connector (bidirectional).
Q:-you have attached your printer to the right port, but are using the wrong name?
Answer: I think we could have Alias, not necessarily give the same printer name.
[what i was getting at here is that you think the printer is attached to the parallel port, but actually the cable
is actually attached to the wrong port. For example the serial port on those older machines will fit but in that case, if you configure the printer with ecpp
it's not pointing to the correct port]
Answer2:- I configured CIMA6120 with "/dev/lp1" port which was perfectly working, I print numerous pages with this configuration, Suddenly this error "moving-to-paused" occurred. as i said it is connected to the parallel port at the rare panel. Initially, I attempted and tried to configure this printer with "/dev/ecpp0" port which was not successful.
Q:-you have a bad or wrong cable?
Answer:- I have checked the cable it is good.
[how did you do the checking?]
Answer2:- I tested the cable by connecting to other printer and it printed. so no problem with the cable.
In the olden days when local printers like this was the norm, we'd do test like catting a file to the port and see if the printer lights
up or responds. Something like: cat /etc/hosts > /dev/ecpp0 (or /dev/lp1, or whatever the device is). Then observe if the printer seems to
receives anything, blinks, prints the host file. You are copying the file directly to the port outside of lp or other mechanism.
Answer2:- I agree there was some conflict among the ports internally, or some process may be running at the background, that is why though it shows the request waiting in the queue it was moving to pause for some reason. when I check the error by command "lpstat -t" it sez "device busy" in /dev/lp1" file.
Solution
============
After goggling some more I found a fix for this issue at http://fixunix.com/solaris/143011-unaccepted-printer.html
1, I tried to remove the printer from printmgr, cud not remove it.
2, try kill the entries that going to /dev/lp1 port to printer "T". could not do it
3, uncheck the default printer option via printmgr.
4, Add a new printer name "test" with /dev/ecpp0" and reproduce the issue "got the same error"
5, With the forum above it sez its a "bug" and the Bug ID: 6374608. here are the details of it:-
Synopsis: No /devices entry for line printer
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatab...bug_id=6374608
Workaround is to manually install the missing driver binding
entry, using the command:
update_drv -a -i '"lp"' ecpp
This workaround should create the missing /dev/lp* devices. And after
running it, you should find the following line in "prtconf -D" output:
lp, instance #0 (driver name: ecpp)
6, I unplug the serial cable from the printer and turnoff and replug the serial cable to the printer and turn on the printer, made sure printer is ""ONLINE".
7, I restart the Solaris machine and delete the newly created "Test" printer via printmgr.
7, I just gave the lp /etc/passwd and it printed.
Finally, I thank you for your time and suggest me your opinion on this solution please.
Regards,
MKY

CS6 Instalation errors

I spent 5+4 hours with two Adobe tech agents (India) a few days ago, trying to resolve CS6 instalation errors. No solution only a damaged Acrobat 8.1.3 which I need everyday and was in WORKING order before all this. Acrobat 8 cannot find a cab file for repair, it produces a run-time error, quits AND it did not add a PDF Port so I cannot print PDF's from my music notation sofware. I have InD 5 and PShop CS 3 in working order on my system, which I cannot afford to loose. After installing from the suite, CS6 apps produce a permissions error. Obviously, I had elevated my local admin acount. I also have 3 instalation logs. How do I upload them? Thanks,
System Win 8 Pro x86

Rave,
Any chance you read in my post that I purchased CS6, including Acrobat X Pro? The TITLE of the post? The issue is CS6! Please re-read my original post. I uninstalled Acrobat 8 before attempting to instal CS6. Acrobat X, along with all other CS6 apps produce the error above. BTW, Acrobar 8 worked fine for months in Win 8 x86. - Thanks

Downloaded Acrobat Pro 7 from Adobe site, won't install, errors out, what do I do now?

I had Acrobat Pro 7 on my old XP machine. I bought a new Win7 machine. Went to install Acrobat on it from the old CD, with original serial no. Wouldn't activate, said "activation server not available". Went to the Adobe site, that error page linked to a download of an .exe for Acrobat Pro 7 not requiring activation, providing password. So yeah, I thought . . . .Did the whole thing, but the install errors out, every time, and offers no workaround. So I am stuck. Error popups attached. Any guidance appreciated. I bought the original program, I'm legit.
The error messages are the usual opaque stuff, I have no idea how I would verify that I have access to a directory that the installer just now created on my hd . . . Why wouldn't I?
I REALLY really need the Adobe pdf printer driver for all my apps, particularly Sibelius, PDF995 drops things . . . .

OK, thanks both, yes I have 64-bit so there goes that reliable printer.
HOWEVER, the URL that 2.Bill gave me is exactly where I downloaded their exe from, the one that *won't install. If you read my post, I am looking for how to make that installer work; I found the folder listed in both error messages, but neither of the referenced files are there, only a similarly named .dll.
And when I go to delete the entire Acrobat 7 folder so I can start over (I did uninstall it after my install from disk that wouldn't activate), the system tells me I do NOT have access to delete it, I need permission from SYSTEM. But I am the only user on my new PC and as far as I know I have admin rights.
I waded into the Security settings for the folder, but the system won't let me change them. This is . . . counterintuitive . . .
I am out of my depth.
Anyone else have any ideas?
Thanks for listening,
Davod
