Printer names in Classic

I am using 10.4.5 with 9.2.2 as Classic. In the print dialog box, alongside "Printer" there is a scrollable list which includes just about very printer name I have ever used - all but two of them now irrelevant. How do I purge this list - many of the names cannot be found on a Finder or Spotlight search, so I just can't delete them. Thanks.

Delete laserwriter 8 preferences. That clears the list

Printer names in print dialog box

When I print a document the printer list contains printers I no longer own or with network addresses that are no longer valid/active. There are only two printers in printer Setup Utility but 5 or more in the print dialog box (even more when printing from a Classic application).
How do I delete these printers? A search of the hard disk does not find the names shown in the list and the various ppd folders do not seem to contain these printers (at least under the names given in the dialog box).
Thanks

Thanks - all gone!
Printing Prefs are files named com.apple.print.*
I think it will be in one of those. It doesn't hurt
to delete them (except if you have some presets you
want to save, don't delete the presets one). Do File
Find file.

Remove Printer Name from Crystal Report

How can i remove the printer name from the Crystal Report so that the PrinterName property of the CRAXDRT.Report object in the RDC SDK is blank WITHOUT having the "No Printer" Option checkbox checked?
Here's the scenerio. When I first create a Report and don't go into Page Setup, PrinterName property is blank. If I go into Page Setup and explicitly select a printer, PrinterName property equals the name of the printer selected. If I check the "No Printer" checkbox in Page Setup, PrinterName property is blank. But if i go back in and uncheck the "No Printer" checkbox in Page Setup, the PrinterName property equals the name of my Windows Default Printer.

I'm still not sure what is unclear about my first question. And I'm not sure how any of the info you are requesting is going to make any difference in answering my question. And I'm not sure how your analogy fits here but ..
Version of CR = 11.0.0.895
CR Service Packs applied = None
Web or Win app? = Win App
OS? = Windows XP Service Pack 3
Development language? = Both Visual Basic 6 and C#.Net 2008
Method of CR files deployment = email the .RPT file to a client
Where were the runtime files downloaded from? = Runtimes are installed from Merge Modules donwload from SAP site
What is the version of the craxdrt.dll on the deployed box? = 11.0.0.893
So here are the exact steps so you can understand what is going on:
I have the Crystal Reports Application open side-by-side with my Visual Basic development environment in debug mode so i can step through the code using the RDC SDK.
1. I open the Crystal Reports Application and create a brand new report - "Test.RPT" and DO NOT go into Page Setup at all and save the report.
2. In my Visual Basic development environment, i run the code that will generate the report, Here's the exact code
    Dim m_crApp As CRAXDRT.Application
    Dim m_crReport As CRAXDRT.Report
    Set m_crApp = New CRAXDRT.Application
    Set m_crReport = New CRAXDRT.Report
    Set m_crReport = m_crApp.OpenReport("Test.RPT")
3. When i look at the PrinterName property in the CRAXDRT.Report object, it is blank.
    ie. crReport.PrinterName is equal to ""
4. I reopen the Crystal Reports Application with report "Test.RPT" and go into Page Setup and check the "No Printer" option.
5. I go back into my Visual Basic development environment and rerun the code that will generate the report.
6. When i look at the PrinterName property in the CRAXDRT.Report object, it is still blank.
    ie. crReport.PrinterName is equal to ""
7. I reopen the Crystal Reports Application with report "Test.RPT" and go into Page Setup and uncheck the "No Printer" option. I have NOT specified any printer, nor have i clicked the "Printer..." button to setup a printer....i have just unchecked the "No Printer" option
8. I go back into my Visual Basic development environment and rerun the code that will generate the report.
9. When i look at the PrinterName property in the CRAXDRT.Report object, it is now set to my WINDOWS DEFAULT PRINTER, yet i had not specified any printer.
    ie. crReport.PrinterName is equal to "
MyNetwork\MyPrinter"
PROBLEMS:
1. The client needs the report to go to the default windows printer of their machine
2. If the "No Printer" Option is checked, the Report does not print at all
3. If the report is set to MY default windows printer and i give it to the client, at times it takes upwards of to a minute for the Print Dialog to disply. As i've read on other forum posts, it appears Crystal is looking for MY printer on the clients machine and takes a minute before i realizes it can't find it and then sets it to the CLIENTS default windows printer.
4. The client believes it is unreasonable to wait a minute for the print dialog to appear ...and i agree.
5. I cannot change the code to use the Select Printer in the RDC SDK - it's a long explanation why but just suffice it to say that i cannot do this.
All i want to do is either:
1. Remove the Printer Name in the actual report from the Crystal Reports designer - basically undoing what Crystal did when i went into Page Setup.
2. Via the RDC SDK, be able to detect the "No Printer" option is selected. Checkign CRAXDRT.PrinterName equal to "" is not an option.

Print Logo in Classic Report (Write Method,Not ALV)

Hi All,
I'm currently doing conversion of the All the Classic Report with addition of Header with 'LOGO'.
I'm willing to find out that Function (CALL FUNCTION 'WWW_GET_MIME_OBJECT') is only able for display but not show out during printing.
Is that any method, I can do it(Print with Logo) without conversion to SAP Script or Smartform that was exhausted.
*Please take note is Classic Report with Write Method (Line by Line), Not ALV.
Thank you all in advance
Regards,
Trevor Wong.

Hi,
It is possible to include logo in classical report but its not possible to print logo in classical report. It can be done in ALV's.
Write the code in Top-of-page event in ALV.
The following is the code for inserting the logo in ALV.
FORM TOP_OF_PAGE.
CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_COMMENTARY_WRITE'
       EXPORTING
           I_LOGO             = 'ENJOYSAP_LOGO'
            IT_LIST_COMMENTARY = GT_LIST_TOP_OF_PAGE.
ENDFORM.

I can not print a report from my quicken program because the printer name has the word on in it

I recently purchased and installed a HP Officejet Mobile L411 printer. For all apps. on my computer (Window&) the printer name is as follows: HP officiate Noble L411. On my Quicken program the printer name is as follows: HP Officejet Mobile L411 on USB001. In checking Quickens help/troubleshooting guide, Ifound thirst statement, make sure the printers name doesn"t contain the word "on". My question is how do I get my printers name in Quicken changed so it doesn't contain the word "on"

Try opening the PDF in Preview and see if it will print out of it.

Printer name is Truncated while creating TO in WM area from QM notification

Dear All,
While creating transfer order(WM) from QM notification. I am getting error "device <printer name> does not exist". Even though printer name is available i am getting this error. When the length of printer name is greater than 4 only i am facing this error.
while checking the screen 3000 in program SAPLQMLR . Field LTAP-LDEST is not checked for Scrollable option. Where as the same field is used in WM T.code LT01 there scrollable option is checked , if we select the same printer system is accepting.
I searched for SAP noted i dint find any thing related to this.
Have any one faced such problem and got any solution. If so please provide the details.
I would like to get suggestion to over come this bug.
Thanks in Advance.

ReportSDKPrinterException: Printer name could not be set

I am working on testing a web application with BOE XI V 3.1. I have the database and RAS machines setup. I have been working on changing my app to printing through the RAS. I have print preview and export working, but am running into issues printing to a printer.
On the RAS which is on a virtual machine, I have a printer setup as a local printer to a tcpip port so the VM can access a printer on our network. But when I call the clientDoc.getPrintOutputController().printReport(printOptions); I get the error message ReportSDKPrinterException: Printer name could not be set.
I have also on the side been testing using a small jsp modified from a working print preview.

Windows Server printer names not showing in Windows 8

I have an annoying problem that's causing confusion for users. We have printers set up on a Windows Server 2008 R2 machine all published in AD via print manager and then deployed through group policy. For all my XP, Win7 machines the printers show the user
friendly Share Name in devices and printers. This is important because we have a lot of the same make/model printers. In Windows 8 the Printer hardware name (i.e. HP LaserJet 600 M601 PCL6) shows up mulitple times, but not the friendly share name (Carbon,
Onyx, Graphite, etc.) that each printer has as a sticker on the front. So a user has no idea which printer is in their physical area.
The printer properties shows the share name correctly, but the devices window is just filled with identical printers. Again, this wasn't an issue pre-Win8, they display correctly there. Anyone have an idea?
Curt Kessler - FLC

Exactly, the answer provided does not address the issue. The share name is displayed correctly by Active Directory and the printers are listed in Active Directory appropriately to include all attributes. The problem is that when we add the
printer to a Windows 8 OS it displays the printer driver as the printer name. This causes confusion to our end users when they map multiple printers that share the same driver. I will note that this doesn't seem to be a problem with all printer
models. For example Xerox shared printers display correctly while it seems that HP printers do not.

Can't see printer name in the print dialog box as the printer name is too long

This is actually causing siginificant pain as I am using a tablet and moving around a number of floors/buildings needing to be able to print from where I am.
When printing from Acrobat reader, the print dialog box that comes up does not have a horizontal scroll bar and does not fit in the names of the printers in my organisation. We are unable to change the printer name, so it basically means that when using Acrobat, we can't select a printer.
All other windows applications show more characters and also have a horizontal scroll bar in the print dialog box so you can scroll across to see the rest of a long printer name. Why is acrobat not using the standard windows print dialog?
Has anyone come across this? Help!

This is the Acrobat forum, not the Reader forum. In the future you should check there. I am not sure why you can not change the printer name, unless you do not have administrator rights. The name of the printer has nothing to do with where the print copy is sent. It is just for the purpose you mentioned of identifying the printer to print to. If you are not the administrator, ask your IT folks to change the name for you and explain why.

How to find out the printer name for the Idoc

Hi guys
I want to find out the printer name for the Idoc,,some default printer is attached for one idoc,then how can we see the printer name for this idoc.
Regards
Madhoo

Hi,
For ALE/IDOC the medium will be either ALE or EDI but not printer.So it might be wrongly attached.As such there won't be any printer attached to idoc.

What are the icons next to the printer name in the print sheet?

Ever since I upgraded to OS X Lion, I have noticed something different in the print dialogue. First the technical info: I am using a 2009 Mac Mini (4 GB RAM, OS 10.7.3) and I have a couple of printers that I use - one is a Brother laser printer (shared from an iMac, running 10.6.8) and a Canon Pixma Pro 9000, connected via USB to a Time Capsule.
When I hit Command-P to bring up the print sheet, I now get icons on the left hand side of some of the printer names in the printer list. One looks like a road sign - diamond shaped with a walking person in it, and the other is a circle with a wavy line (tilde?) in it. The other printer names have no icons next to them. I gather that the circle-and-tilde means "printer not available" (or something similar) - even though the printer is there!!! And then I wonder why the other printer names have no icons, and I have no clue what the "walking person" sign means.
I'm adding a couple of images so you all can see what I'm talking about:
What do these icons mean? I can find NO reference to them - even in Apple's knowledge base article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4670 - this just looks like the screen shots from the 10.6 Snow Leopard page. I looked in the OS X Lion Missing Manual, but it has the same screen shots with no explanation of the icons.
This is pretty minor, but it's been bugging me for a while. Any explanation or reference to these icons would be appreciated!

Wow, impressive, thank you! Is there a listing or other resource available that can tell me what all these symbols mean? Or are they the only ones?
This Mac 101: Printing article mentions some of the icons you will see in 10.6. And there is also the Mac 101: Printing article for Lion that shows some symbols. Neither show the icon you are seeing for the Brother but this is icon has been around for a while and used for warnings/information alerts.

Printer name with non-ASCII character

Is it possible to name a printer using ISO-8859-1 (or WINLATIN1) characters?
Our business system has logical printer names defined, sometimes using Norwegian (and Danish) letters (AE-lig, O-slash and A-ring), which we would like to map to the correct Windows UNC paths.
Mapping to a UNC path containing one of these characters works fine. But if the printer name itself contains a non-ASCI ISO character it fails.
Example using BÆR (B AE-lig R):
!p BÆR * \\print\bærum * 50 *

For others who might have the same problem. You can solve it by quoting the device name and/or printer name.
!p """BÆR""" * """\\print\bærum""/q" * 50 *
This, however, causes the printer name to be '"BÆR"' with the double quotes included in the name. Thus, the job card must contain the unfortunate tripple quotes as well: -z"""BÆR""".

How to force Tiger to print doc within Classic environment, not with OSX?

I want to print certain documents using OS9's printing utility within the Classic environment, and NOT using Tiger's standard OSX printing method. How?
I know it is possible because I have two Macs connected to the same printer, and it works on one and not the other. I can't figure out why.
Here are the specifics:
I have a printer, the Ricoh Laser AP2600. Connected to it are two computers:
a PowerBook G4 running 10.4.7, and
an iMac running 10.3.9.
When I print documents from OSX applications, the two computers take the exact same time to print. HOWEVER, when I print from Classic applications, the iMac running 10.3.9 prints very quickly, but the PB running 10.4.7 takes two to three times as long. That's because the iMac prints the document using the old OS9 "Print Monitor" printing utility, and never passes the printing back to Tiger. Whenever I try to print a document from a Classic application on the PB, however, it passes the printing to the standard OSX printing method, which (for some reason) is much slower.
(Sorry if I'm not using the right terminology.)
I checked and double-checked, and as far as I can tell, all the "printer descriptions" and "drivers" and everything else is absolutely identical in both System 9 "Extension" folders on both computers. I installed the exact same Ricoh print-driver packages for OSX and Classic on both machines identically. So -- why does one print quickly within Classic, and the other pass the printing job back to slow OSX?
The specific application that causes this discrepancy is MSWord 5.1a, a very old version that only works under Classic. (I use it a lot because I prefer it to more recent versions of MSWord.)
A secondary, but related, question: Why does printing documents from within the Classic environment go so much more quickly than in OSX? It seems to be one of the few aspects of OSX that's worse than OS9.
So -- how can I make my PB behave like my iMac? Is there some difference between 10.3.9 and 10.4.7 that causes this different behavior? Any hints or suggestions would be most appreciated.
Thanks.

OK, I have finally solved the problem -- mostly.
The trick was to click on the Chooser option called "PSPrinter" -- not LaserWriter 8 or any of the others. I took a chance on that since I knew that the Ricoh 2600 was a PostScript printer. When I clicked on it, and chose "Set up printer," I was able to set up the Ricoh driver. Then, when I tried printing, it worked -- it printed within the Classic environment, not in Tiger. And what a difference!! Under Tiger, a simple page of text takes 45 seconds to process and print. Under Classic, the exact same page processes and prints in 8 seconds! A huge difference. So, I finally got it to work.
The downside is that I can't get it to "stick." If I restart Classic (or the entire computer), the next time I go back to print in MSWord 5.1a (my Classic application), it will have reverted back to the Tiger method of printing. So, the first time I print a page in 5.1a during any session, I have to go to Chooser and select PSPrinter. This adds 15 seconds or so to the process, so printing a single page overall isn't any faster, if you add up all the steps. Subsequent prints all are done quickly in Classic automatically, as long as Classic hasn't restarted. (I can even quit the application and restart it without a problem -- only an OS restart causes it to revert back to Tiger printing.)
So, my basic problem is solved, and I'm fairly satisfied. But I still have two nagging issues that I wouldn't mind answered if anybody knows the answers:
How can I make my Chooser printer selection in Classic "stick" permanently from one restart to the next? Why does it revert to Tiger printing after a restart?
And the fundamental question: why is Classic printing so much faster than Tiger printing? I thought Tiger was supposed to be a "digital hub" that made communicating with peripherals so easy? In most ways it is, but why is printing the one way in which OSX is WORSE than OS9, at least in regards to speed?

How to printing oracle report by specific printer name on solaris?

When running reports
-http://host/reports/rwservlet?destype=PRINTER&desname=printername&desformat=dflt.prt&report=test.rdf&userid=test/test@TEST&MODE=CHARACTER
report with destype=printer desname=printername, the report fails with REP-50159 Executed successfully but there were some errors when distribute the output
if set default printer by add PRINTER=printername export PRINTER; in uiprint.txt
it can print to printer.
i found document id 394554.1 in metalink but it can't fix problem.
https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/f?p=130:14:342229662272785964::::p14_database_id,p14_docid,p14_show_header,p14_show_help,p14_black_frame,p14_font:NOT,394554.1,1,1,1,helvetica
To fix the problem, execute the following steps:
1. Take a backup of opmn.xml
2. Edit opmn.xml and include the path information of the new printer:
For In-process report server add the path information within <OC4J_BI_Forms>
Eg:
<process-type id="OC4J_BI_Forms" module-id="OC4J">
<environment>
<variable id="DISPLAY" value="localhost:0"/>
<variable id="LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
value="D:\Oracle\product\FRHome_1\lib32:D:\Oracle\product\FRHome_1\lib"/>
<variable id="PATH" value="//printserver;D:/Oracle/product/FRHome_1/bin;................./>
</environment>
Here //printserver is the network drive where is printer is installed.
For standalone report server add the path information within <reportservername>
Eg:
<ias-component id="standalonerepsvr01" status="enabled" id-matching="false">
<process-type id="ReportsServer" module-id="ReportsServices">
<process-set id="standalonerepsvr01" restart-on-death="true" numprocs="1">
<environment>
<variable id="DISPLAY" value="localhost:0"/>
<variable id="LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
value="D:\Oracle\product\FRHome_1\lib32:D:\Oracle\product\FRHome_1\lib"/>
<variable id="PATH" value="//printserver;D:/Oracle/product/FRHome_1/bin;........../>
</environment>
3. Reload opmn : opmnctl reload
4. Restart opmn: opmnctl stopall , opmnctl startall
5. Run the report with destype=printer and desname=newprintername
my config (solaris)
oracle application server release 2 (10.1.2.0.2)
i used axis printserver name is SZ_R02.
<process-type id="OC4J_BI_Forms" module-id="OC4J">
<environment>
<variable id="DISPLAY" value="localhost:0"/>
<variable id="LD_LIBRARY_PATH_64" value="/data/app/mid/lib:/data/app/mid/network/lib32:/data/app/mid/lib32:/data/app/mid/lib:/data/app/mid/network/lib::/data/app/mid/jdk/jre/lib/sparcv9"/>

Print peoblem in classic environment

I had to temporarily install a new printer on osX (10.2). classic environment couldn't install it properly, but i was able to print from osX.
when i went back to my regular printer, i haven't been able to print from my classic environment. I can print fine from osX, but i desperately need to print a final draft doc from classic. I use the chooser to select the regular printer, but nothing happens, and i can't access the print monitor.
how do i get things back to normal?

What brand and model of printer are you trying to use?
Is it hooked up via USB directly to the iBook or to a hub?
