Printing: difference between PrinterJob and DocPrintJob

Hi,
I'm having some trouble understanding the difference between a PrinterJob and a DocPrintJob, mostly about when I should use either, and how their print method operates.
The API Specification is short on description and the "Java Print Service API User Guide" doesn't offer much help either.
Any shining light in this obscure area would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

It's probably not a bug, but it's not a Pages problem. Printing is handled by the printer driver & each one, even for the same manufacturer often work differently. Check the documentation for your printer & the various options available in the print dialog.

  • Why are there print differences between Reader and Acrobat Pro

    I have a PDF file generated by InDesign (CS3). When I print the PDF from Reader (8.1.4) I get lighter text than when the same file is printed by Acrobat Pro (9.1.0). A close examination of the printed letters shows that the text printed from Reader is not solid black, while the text from Pro is solid black.
    Is this typical or is there something I need to do to improve the printing from Reader?

    I am a CADD Coord. (CADD Mgr)designer) I used to do a lot of design. Just recently we have noticed that anything printed from Adobe, the reader or the full version, is printing so lightly in many cases that it looks like it is missing data. whenever we create teh PDF from Autodesk products or Bluebeam Revue, it is the same. Bluebeam prints perfect. Yet the exact same file printed through Adobe is very, very light. Even printing as image it does this. And it appears at random. Some people print ok, but the exact same printer sent by someone else, using the same method, comes out too light in Adobe.
    I have contacted Autodesk and they have punted it back. Anyone have any answers or clues to fix? i send out deliverables for clients all the time and I hate to find out they print and miss something of the design.

  • Printing differences between LR and CS2

    Today I downloaded a trial of LR. I've played with it all day and am fairly happy with its organizing capabilities. However, when I printed a file from LR on an Epson R2400, on Premium Luster paper the print is close to colorless.
    When the exact same file is printed from CS2 on an Epson R2400 with the same paper - the print was perfect.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks,
    Katherine

    Katherine, Are you using a paper specific icc profile picked by going to other under Print Job/Color Management/Profile: Other... in Print and choosing the correct profile. AS well are you turning off color management in the Print Driver, so there is no double management?
    LR needs all the correct dotted i's and crossed t's and when done it matches PSCS with the same settings evertime. (though with some printers, Epsons, prints do seem a bit on the Dark side. this could be due to wrong Gama setting for Monitor Profile, it is reported. Us 2.2 for better results on a Mac.)

  • Printing differences between Aperture and PS

    I have been using Aperture for almost two years, but I have never been happy with the results I get when making inkjet prints. I have custom built profiles, calibrated monitor, all goo d color management etc., however I get very different prints from the same files when print from Aperture that I do with Photoshop or Lightroom. Why would Aperture interpret the same profiles differently? And what rendering intent is it using? I built some new profiles yesterday with the XRite ColorMunki and the prints made with PS are an excellent match to the monitor. Some of the darker, more saturated blues in the Aperture printed image go bright purple. Aperture prints a bit lighter than the monitor as well. I am printing from the same saved Tif file that was processed in Aperture, and sending it directly to PS out of Aperture.
    Thanks
    Peter

    Assuming your settings in the Aperture print dialog are what they should be - If you are not sure there are plenty of topics on that, the issue could be the following.
    To make a long story short at some point the combination of Leopard, Aperture 2, Tiger printer drivers and printing preferences seem to cause really horrible Aperture printing issues. The only sane procedure I have used and recommend to make it right again are:
    Delete all the printers from system preferences.
    Make sure that you download and install the latest leopard printer drivers (again).
    Trash all of your old Aperture preferences.
    Put all of your correct preferences back in to the print dialog.
    Try again.

  • Is there a difference between AirPrint and printing via usb printer plugged into an airport extreme?

    My printer does not show up in the add a printer option on my iMac when plugged into the extreme. I have a HP officejet 5610 All-in-One. I want to be able to print wirelessly using my Airport Extreme.  Thank you

    Is there a difference between AirPrint and printing via usb printer plugged into an AirPort Exreme?
    Big difference. 
    AirPrint for one will not work via USB, so you will not be able to print from an iOS device like an iPhone or iPad using this type of connection unless you look at additional software....that may or may not allow this option.
    Assuming that you get the All-in-One setup using the USB port on the AirPort.......only printing is supported.
    You will not be able to use any other advanced features like maintenance, scan, copy, fax, etc when the device is connected to the USB port on an AirPort.
    If you plan to use the HP for other things, I would strongly recommend that you connect it to your computer.
    My printer does not show up in the add a printer option on my iMac when plugged into the extreme.
    This usually indicates that your printer model is not supported. Check with HP Support to see if they have any updated Macintosh drivers for the 5610 that you could download and install that might allow this.

    I have a situation in Java Collection and i am not

    I have 5 List objects with thousands and thousands of

    Each record is identified by POLICY_ID. They may be

    I want to extract each POLICY_ID from all the 5 List
    and make a single List object for each POLICY_ID and
    for each List and pass it to a print job which will
    print the data for a POLICY_ID

  • Difference between void and null?

    wht is da difference between void and null w.r.t java?

    Why do you care, unless you're implementing a java compiler or JVM?Wow, you sure do suck at helping out in a forum. Why even make this post? You're not helping the OP any, and you made yourself look like a tool.
    To the op:
    Null is java's version of a null value. Java's version is more strict then many other languages, and will not work in a boolean expression or anywhere code expects a real and not null value. It's simply null.
    Void is java's way of declaring no return type on a method. Methods that are void take no 'return' statement and if one is provided will cause a fatal error. The exception to this is using 'return' without a value, which returns control to the caller of the method.
    Observe:
    //this method returns an int
    public int return_int(){
        int value = 5;
        return value;
    //this method does not return an int
    public void return_nothing(){
        int another_value = 123;

  • Whats the difference between list and lov ?

    Whats the difference between list and lov ?
    i can do the same things with a list what an lov can do .
    infact a list is more better. cause the list doesnt hold/show a range of values, and only has the items value iteself.
    while the lov can get all the values of items depending on the query.
    like
    select ename, job, sal from emp
    will show all the three items values in lov?

    Also, if you're looking in the US store, the prices are:
    - Airport Express (small, no ac) $99 - Has audio out for speaker connection using Airplay. Can share a USB printer only.
    - Airport Extreme (larger, ac) $199 - No audio out, can share a USB printer or hard drive.
    - Time Capsules (2TB, 3TB at $299, $399) - have ac wireless and a backup hard drive for Time Machine which the other Airports do not have.

  • Difference between idoc and rfc

    what is the difference between idoc and rfc? when and where it is used? when there is idoc, why rfc vice versa?

    IDoc (for intermediate document) is a standard data structure for electronic data interchange (EDI) between application programs written for the popular SAP business system or between an SAP application and an external program. IDocs serve as the vehicle for data transfer in SAP's Application Link Enabling (ALE) system. 
    IDocs are used for asynchronous transactions:  Each IDoc generated exists as a self-contained text file that can then be transmitted to the requesting workstation without connecting to the central database. 
    Another SAP mechanism, the Business Application Programming Interface (BAPI) is used for synchronous transactions. 
    A large enterprise's networked computing environment is likely to connect many geographically distributed computers to the main database. These computers are likely to use different hardware and/or operating system platforms. An IDoc encapsulates data so that it can be exchanged between different systems without conversion from one format to another. 
    IDoc types define different categories of data, such as purchase orders or invoices, which may then be broken down into more specific categories called message types. Greater specificity means that an IDoc type is capable of storing only the data required for a particular transaction, which increases efficiency and decreases resource demands. 
    An IDoc can be generated at any point in a transaction process. For example, during a shipping transaction process, an IDoc may be generated that includes the data fields required to print a shipping manifest. After a user performs an SAP transaction, one or more IDocs are generated in the sending database and passed to the ALE communication layer. The communication
    layer performs a Remote Function Call (RFC), using the port definition and RFC destination specified by the customer model. 
    The IDoc is transmitted to the receiver, which may be an R/3, R/2, or some external system
    RFC
    Remote Function Calls (RFC) and data exchange through IDoc message documents. RFC makes direct and synchronous calls of a program in the remote system. If the caller is an external program it will call an RFC-enabled function in R/3 and if the calling program is the R/3 system it will call an RFC-function in another R/3-system or it will call a non-R/3 program through a gateway-proxy (usually rfcexec.exe). BAPIs are a subset of the RFC-enabled function modules, especially designed as Application Programming Interface (API) to the SAP business object, or in other words: are function modules officially released by SAP to be called from external programs.

  • Differences between mcp and mcp t sound

    this is all sound sound info direct from a man at nvidia who knows
    PLEASE NOTE ONLY MCP2-T BOARD MSI DO AT THE MOMMENT IS THE K7N2G-ILSR
    The MCP has no hardware support for audio of any kind, period. Windows and the CPU do all the audio work on that part and there is absolutely no DSP, NVIDIA or otherwise, in that chip to help out. Try to do EAX, any kind of reverb or chorus, or a music preset on those boards and you'll see the CPU usage climb. Ditto if you add more voices to the mix: CPU usage goes up.
    The MCP-T has a full hardware audio DSP, hardware acceleration for 2D and 3D streams, and Dolby Digital encode support. EQs, HRTFs, and all environmental settings are exposed and modifiable by the user. None of this is available on the soft solutions due to the heavy hit on the CPU if they were enabled.
    Short of that, you can try to use the ASIO or OpenAL drivers. You'll find that neither will work on the MCP because there is no supporting hardware for them. In short, there is no way to coax an MCP to be an APU capable part, the support simply isn't in the chip
    Here's the chip differences:
    MCP has the following:
    - ATA-133 x 2 ports
    - USB 1.0/1.1/2.0 x 6 ports
    - NVIDIA MAC 10/100 x 1 port
    - Legacy I/O bus (PS2, Printer, Serial)
    - AC 97 host based audio (no DSP)
    MCP-T includes the above and adds the following:
    - 3Com MAC 10/100 x 1 port
    - 1394A Firewire MAC x 3 ports
    - NVIDIA APU with Dolby Digtal Encoder

    thats not to say mcp is bad as this proves
    The MCP2 is definately hardware sound. As far as the APU goes the only difference between MCP2 and MCP2-T is the T version has Soundstorm(Dolby Digital). Basically Mcp2-T =5.1 digital output capabilities Mcp2 no digital output, analogue output only. The other differences are the T version Has Dual Lan support and a firewire controller which the plain MCP2 does not. Here are my cpu utilization test results from Audio winbench proving that The MCP2 APU is a hardware APU.

  • Difference between open_form and start_form

    difference between open_form and start_form?

    hi,
    Any driver program must contain Open_Form, Close_Form and Write_Form. Other function modules are optional.
    OPEN_FORM: This function module opens layout set printing. One must call this function module before he uses any of other layout set function modules like Write_Form, Start_Form, Control_Form etc., You need specify a layout set name in the export parameters of this function module. If nothing is passed to Open_Form then one should use Start_Form function module to open layout set before starting the output. The layout set opened by Open_Form should be closed by Close_Form function module, other wise output doesn’t appear. We can use any number of Open_Form, Close_Form functions in one single program. But Close_Form must be there for every Open_Form in the program.
    Some of the important export parameters we have to pass to Open_Form function module.
    Form: Enter the Layout set name here, which then controls the output formatting. If nothing is specified then we must use Start_Form for opening layout set.
    Language: Layout sets are Language dependent. Enter the desired language here. If the entered layout set is not in that language, then the function tries to open the Form entered in its original language. The default value is SY-LANGU.
    Device: SAP Script can format a text on different device types. The device can be ‘PRINTER’ or ‘TELEX’, ‘TELEFAX’, ’ABAP’ and ‘SCREEN’.
    Dialog: Use parameter DIALOG to determine whether to display a dialog box before printing, in which the user can set several spool parameters for print formatting. Possible values: SPACE displays no print parameter screen. 'X' display print parameter screen. Default value: 'X'
    Options: Use parameter OPTIONS to set several options for print formatting. The parameter has the structure ITCPO. The user can change some of the defined settings on the print control screen. The default value for Options is ‘ ‘. We will discuss about ITCPO structure in detail later.
    Other Export, Import and Exceptions are self-explanatory.
    Start_Form: In-between the function modules OPEN_FORM and CLOSE_FORM, we can use different layout sets. This allows us to combine several different layout sets into one print output. However, we can combine only those layout sets that have the same page format. To switch layout sets, use the function module START_FORM. If another layout set is still open, we must close it first using END_FORM. If we specify no layout set name when calling START_FORM, the system restarts the last open layout set. If after OPEN_FORM no layout set was activated yet, the system leaves the function module with the exception UNUSED. Some of the important export parameters for this function module are
    Form: The parameter contains the name of the layout set you want to use for printing. If you specify no layout set here, the system restarts the last active layout set.
    Language: Layout sets are language-dependent. Enter the desired language here. If the layout set does not exist in this language, the system tries to call the layout set in its original language. If the parameter LANGUAGE is empty, the system uses the language of the last active layout set.
    Startpage: Usually, SAP script starts with the page specified as start page in the layout set definition. If we want to start output with another layout set page, enter the name of the desired layout set page here. If the desired page is not defined, the system uses the start page defined in the layout set.
    Program: To replace program symbols, SAP script must know which active program contains the work areas for the values to be passed. If we omit the parameter, the system searches for the field values in the program that was specified in the parameter OPTIONS (field TDPROGRAM) of OPEN_FORM. If we enter a program name, the system replaces the program symbols with the values from this program up to the next END_FORM.
    Exceptions and other Export, Import parameters are self-explanatory.

    Kiran Sure

  • Difference  between  scripts and  idocs

    In real time  why we are  using scripts and idocs?what is the difference between scripts and idocs?pls tell me  where we r using  scripts and  idocs?

    Hi,
    IDocs are simple ASCII data streams. When they are stored to a disk file, the IDocs are simple flat files with lines of text, where the lines are structured into data fields. The typical structured file has records, each record starting with a leading string that identifies the record type. Their specification is stored in the data dictionary.
    Electronic Interchange Document
    IDocs is the acronym for Interchange Document. This  indicates a set of (electronic) information which builds a logical entity. An IDoc is e.g. all the data of a single customer in your customer master data file, or the IDoc is all the data of a single invoice.
    Data Is transmitted in ASCII format, i.e. human readable form
    IDoc data is usually exchanged between systems and partners that are completely independent. Therefore, the data should be transmitted in a format that can easily be corrected by the computer operators. It is therefore mandatory to post the data in a human readable form.
    Nowadays, this means that data is coded in ASCII format, including numbers which are sent as a string of figures 0 to 9. Such data can easily be read with any text editor on any computer, be it a PC, Macintosh, UNIX System, S/390 or any internet browser.
    IDocs exchange messages
    The information which is exchanged by IDocs is called a message and the IDoc is the physical representation of such a message. The name “messages” for the information sent via IDocs is used in the same ways as other EDI standards. .
    Scrpits...
    If the user wants to print documents such as invoices, purchase order, all such documents are printed with the use of forms. SAP allows the user to define these forms by using layout sets. SAP script is the tool used to create the layout set.
    In order to print the document, the SAP system runs a program that collects the data for the document and feeds it into the layout set. This is called as Print Program.
    SAP Provides a standard layout set for every printable document and usually there is no need to create layout sets as such. User just modifies the existing layout sets as per requirement of client.
    Regards,
    Sam
