Printer prints postscript code instead of print job every 5 or 9 print jobs.

Hi,
I have a Xerox Phaser 5880 printer that worked with our old G5 iMac. Upgraded to a new Intel mac when the old iMac died, and have run into intermittent printing problems.
We have:
Updated to the very latest version of 10.6.7
Updated the printer firmware
Updated the printer driver (Snow leopard compatible)
Reset the printer service in control panel
Removed and re added the printer
The Problem:
The first few print jobs typically work, and then the printer will spit out the code of the postscript rather than the document. The print job can be the exact same page printed previously a few seconds ago. If I force the printer language (setting on the printer), to PostScript rather than 'Auto', I get a red error message printed instead, saying "Undefined Command" and "Offending Character" will be either ">>" or "t" or "PS".
I thought I would try to reinstall the 10.6.7 combo update, however it says "The Target Drive" is not available. :\
Unplugging the printers USB cable, and then reinserting it fixes the issue for another few print jobs. As the printer is used in a paper business however, this is a significant problem as expensive paper types are used in the printer.
Any support is greatly appreciated

Postscript code printed instead of document

I've set up a printer on windows XP (it happens to be an HP laserjet 1100A, but I don't think that is the problem). I set it up for sharing and it prints perfectly.
I connect from my ibook through wi-fi. When I add a printer it discovers the windows printer and appears to set it all up correctly.
However, when I print a document (from MS-Word), I get the postscript code printed literally (lots of %% and postscript information) instead of the document.
It looks to me as if the ibook is sending the document as postscript, but the windows driver is interpreting it as plain text.
How do I fix it?

Network printing/Windows printing only works with a driver that was meant for network printing. To use the OS X built-in CUPS network choices, you need a CUPS driver. For postscript printers, it's not an issue, because postscript is the native output of OS X, and can easily be routed to the various choices in Printer Setup.
Non-postscript printers are Very Different. Except for Brother, no manufacturer has provided CUPS drivers. Instead, what you get are Carbonized, OS9 legacy drivers, that have the comm protocol written into the driver (mostly USB). They can only print via local connection.
Short version - the HP-provided driver doesn't work for network printing.
In your case, OS X includes a suitable CUPS driver: For printer model, choose HP Laserjet 4 Series, Gimp-Print.

Modifying t-codes to export batch jobs to drive rather than print

There are several t-codes that schedule batch jobs, but they only print. Is it possible to revise a t-code to export batch jobs directly to a drive?
What is the code for this?
Thanks.

What do you mean by "export batch jobs"? If you need the program that runs in the batch job to output something into a file instead of the printer, then, naturally, it will have to be programed accordingly. Also keep in mind that in background only file server is available (OPEN DATASET). So if, say, you want to run a batch job and have it write to your local C drive then it's simply not possible.
Otherwise please clarify the question.

Printer is asking for an user acces code instead of windows login and password?

I have been seeing the HP printers asking(LaserJet M4555 MFP, LaserJet 500 color MFP M575 etc) for user access code instead of windows login and password.
One thing i have noticed is that when this happens there is a slight change in the EWS page configuration at security -> access control.The device administrator tabe is unchecked as you can see below ehen this happens
Have tried cold resetting the printer and restore facory settings but this does not works and some thimes it does works for a while but the issue is returing back.
We do not need this access code promt instead we need the usual windows login and password that used be there originally.
alsothis is how the settings look like after a cold reset somtimes when it does not asks for user access code , the problem is cold rese does lways works and it reverts back ois original settings

My webpage created with php prints code instead of the created webpage

My webpage is created using dynamic field therefore it had to be save as .php.
The problem now is when i want to print the page it prints code instead of the actual page. Is the a solution for this problem?
Here is the site
http://www.pianoandkeyboardshoponline.co.uk/Test/
Any help welcome

I think you're confused by what you're seeing.
When I print > preview your on-line page in Firefox, I see the page content and links -- which may look like code to you, but they're not revealing anything abnormal.   These are just links to other pages.
detailed_page.php?product_id=307-Yamaha-P105-Digital-Piano-in-White
You have these external style sheets but they are designated for screen & projection media only.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen, projection" href="style.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen, projection" href="jcart/css/jcart.css" />
Your print styles are actually driven by boilerplate.css towards the bottom of the page.
/* ==|== print styles =======================================================
   Print styles.
   Inlined to avoid required HTTP connection: h5bp.com/r
   ========================================================================== */
@media print {
* { background: transparent !important; color: black !important; text-shadow: none !important; filter:none !important; -ms-filter: none !important; } /* Black prints faster: h5bp.com/s */
a, a:visited { text-decoration: underline; }
a[href]:after { content: " (" attr(href) ")"; }
abbr[title]:after { content: " (" attr(title) ")"; }
.ir a:after, a[href^="javascript:"]:after, a[href^="#"]:after { content: ""; } /* Don't show links for images, or javascript/internal links */
pre, blockquote { border: 1px solid #999; page-break-inside: avoid; }
thead { display: table-header-group; } /* h5bp.com/t */
tr, img { page-break-inside: avoid; }
img { max-width: 100% !important; }
@page { margin: 0.5cm; }
p, h2, h3 { orphans: 3; widows: 3; }
h2, h3 { page-break-after: avoid; }
Perhaps that's why what you see in print doesn't match what you see on screen.
If you want a print out of the screen display, do a screengrab with your print screen key. Paste content it into your favorite graphics editor.
Hope this helps,

Printing of cheque under company code instead of business area

hai sap gurus
pls help us in this issue
At the time of running automatic payment program separate cheques were printing to a single vendor as per business area, now the client is asking that single cheques is to be issue to the vendor under company code instead of business area wise, but the same vendor is supplying the material to those business area. Can we make the settings as per the requirement?
many thanks in advance
bye for now
kishore

Dear Kishore,
I understand that your company wants to pay a vendor one cheque irrelevant of multiple business area transactions. If my understanding is correct, this can be handled by removing the tick in pay per business area
Step
transaction code - FBZP
Tab - Paying company code.
Control Data - Remove the tick from Seperate payment per business area.
Hope this helps you.
Regards,

Uploaded pdf-documents generates code instead of pages in firefox and chrome (however they work in safari)

this is a new problem after having upgraded to mountain lion.
when I attach a hyperlink to my pdf-document that I like to display on the web - the pdf-document will not show up in Firefox or Chrome - it generates a lot of code instead.
I have only uploaded the files to my computer (not released on the web yet) - as I can see all files are neatly displayed in the appropriate pagefolder.
One of the themes (modern) provided as a standard feature in iWeb has been used. In Chrome the menu does not show up either (although safari and firefox displays the menu correctly)

I should have given you some info about testing the local version of your site. As you probably realise, its almost useless testing your site in Safari since hardly anybody uses it.
In OS X up to Snow Leopard, we could set up Web Sharing from System Prefs but Apple made this difficult in Mountain Lion.
See the bottom of this page for info about testing the local version of your website...

How can i use the project code instead of project xml?

hello
i use the sessionbean+toplink structure,after i finish the o-r mapping by using the mapping work bench,i generate the project xml file,then in the "session.xml" file,i refer to the project xml,then i can use it from sessionbean.
i hear that if i use the project code instead of project xml file,it will be more performant,is that true?
otherwise,how can i use the project code instead of project xml file?i mean, in "session.xml", i can use the "<project-xml>" tag to refer to the project xml file,then in my session bean,i get the server session by read the "session.xml" file.but if i use the project code,how can i refer it from the "session.xml"?the examples that come with the toplink installation only tell me how can i use the project xml file within the session bean,it don't give me any clue about using the project code in the sesion bean,who can give me a step-by-step instruction and code snippet?
thank you very much?

There is a slight performance gain during session load at startup but there is no difference at runtime. The choice of which to use is dependent upon you build process. Whether it is easier to submit a new version of the class into the comile build process vs an XML file. In most cases it is just a preference of the development team.
When you use the project-class you'll need to generate the source code and compile it into your system. Typically it is packaged with the persistent classes. You may need to configure your environment so that the class-loaders have access to these classes (same for the XML case).
When using the project-class you simply replace the project-xml entry like this:
<project-class>oracle.toplink.demos.employee.relational.EmployeeProject</project-class>
The DTD for the session.xml file is found at <TOPLINK_HOME>\core\sessions_4_5.dtd. It is also in the documentation at:

Can i just buy a gift card code instead of the physical card

can i just buy a gift card code instead of the physical card, since i live outside the us ???, if so how would we do the transaction ?? thanks

Hi there OmarMancilla,
You should have the ability to buy E-Gift Cards on BestBuy.com, which would be quite similar to a physical gift card, but in a digital version. You may check them out here. If you are an international customer, you would want to follow the instructions here for placing your order.
Please let me know if you should have any questions!
Sincerely,

Numbers, fractions, and code instead of text???

The links to click on in a widget are in numbers , fractions, or code instead of normal text? I dont know how to fix this!!!!!Can someone please help me out and tell me how to fix this problem with some of my widgets??

Restart the computer in safe mode. Certain caches maintained by the system will be rebuilt.
Safe mode is much slower to start up than normal.
When the login screen appears, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and test. There's no need to log in while in safe mode.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t start in safe mode. In that case, ask for instructions.
If there's no improvement, see below.
If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance. You can skip this step if you don't care about the data that hasn't been backed up.
Reinstall the OS.* Your data should be unaffected unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
*The linked support article refers to OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

Firefox displaying little boxes of hex code instead of letters

all of a sudden firefox started displaying little boxes of numbers and letters which i suppose are hex code instead of letters for all web pages visited.

Missing icons are usually supplied by a font that is downloaded from the server (@font-face) as you can probably see by little boxes that show the hex code of the characters.
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own fonts.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced: [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
You can check the <b>gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page and make sure that it is set to true (if necessary double-click the line to toggle its value).

Content query in code instead of from tag

I have a simple query to perform, but I would like to do it in java code instead of with a content tag.
The tag would look something like this:
<cm:search id="content" query="nodeName='foo'"/>
but I want to call the same query from within a java class instead of from a JSP. I can't find any reference to this and I wonder why?

Here is link to edocs

Hi Navaneeth,
> is there any tool for developing Postscript code ?
An interpreter (GS or Dist), an ascii text editor and your PS skills ;-)
> is there any IDE for Postscript ?
Take a look in this Sourceforge project...
http://sourceforge.net/projects/wxghostscript/
...is a Ghostscript debugger.
