Printing directly to a printer in Oracle 10g

Friends,
I don't have any experience in SQL writing out to a printer, but this is what I need to do and I was hoping someone could direct me.
I need to generate literal text for a label, otherwise, straight from forms. The label is small, (4" x 2.5") and the text will look like this:
VDP BLEND BLEND STATION
Blend#: (Data from database) (DATE)
Segments: ABC (USERNAME)
Grade: (Data from database)
Analysis: (Data from database)
Sample ID: (Data from database)
BAR CODE
BAR CODE
The Hardcoded or literal part of the label would be anything not from the database. I can use Reports to generate the label, but I would need to send it to the printer automatically. I'm use to a language called VGL which uses "Literal" Commands to print text from the code. Can Oracle do that, and if so, How?
Thank you so much for your help.

I tried this but nothing prints:
DATA: PARAMS LIKE PRI_PARAMS,
VALID TYPE C.
CALL FUNCTION 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'
IMPORTING OUT_PARAMETERS = PARAMS
VALID = VALID.
IF VALID <> SPACE.
NEW-PAGE PRINT ON PARAMETERS PARAMS NO-DIALOG.
WRITE / MY_LABEL.
NEW-PAGE PRINT OFF.
ENDIF.

Print directly to the printer option in the Windows registry

I need to find the location for the option to "Print directly to the printer" in the Windows registry. I am trying to create a GPO to enable this option at login and I can't find the location for it. Is this possible to do? If not, is there another way to enable this at startup for all users? We are running Adobe Acrobat X on Windows 7 Enterprise 32-bit.
Thanks

I guess that those of use responding don't know enough about the process you are trying to implement to be of help. Printing to network drives has been an issue for folks for a long time and a lot seems to depend on the network. That is probably of zero help and all I can suggest is just to hang on for someone who hopefully has an idea. If we can get a better handle on what you are trying to do, we might be able to make suggestions. However, I think our answers are not going to be there for the registry issue.

Server created print ques printing directly to the printer

I'm trying to enforce quotas as well as push out a global set of printers (i.e. not setup locally) I can do this no problem, but my managed macs always print directly to the printer, not via my server.
I'm installing the printers locally on my server (printing directly to the I.P of the printer, then the corresponding ques appear automatically in the print service under server admin. I assumed that print jobs would be automatically parsed via the print service ques, and thus be able to enforce quotas.

I'm attempting to setup the very same thing. I haven't gotten to try pushing the print ques to the managed clients via wgm yet, as I can't even seem to get the quota system working at all.
I can get the que setup on the server, then add the printer to the client. When i pause the que on the server, the client print jobs are being held correctly, but there is no evidence that the quota system is even starting up or functioning correctly.
I can find alot of people complaining about the quota system being broken in 10.3 and 10.4, but I can't find anyone talking about 10.5's printer quota system at all.

PDF + Print directly to the printer

I need to have the print directly to the printer option enabled for a legacy app to print properly. However
with this option on PDF's will not print. Even when enabling the print as image option, it still fails. Does anyone have a solution?
*after testing, acrobat reader X seems to fix the issue. But i still don't know whats wrong. Does anyone know where i can find a changelog of the new version?

Please check that when you print to PDF, the Save as dialog might goes in background. Watch for blinking icon in the taskbar at the bottom. Click the icon and give output PDF name.
If this is the case then this is known problem at MS end. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2567869
This problem comes when printing from 32bit apps on 64bit OS.

Show parameter form and then print directly to client printer

I have few reports that show parameter form for user entry. After the user enters the parameter and hits Submit query, the report should automatically get printed on the client's default printer. I tried to use ORARRP but I could get that to work only for reports do not open parameter form before going directly to the printer. Can someone please guide me how to achieve this?
Thanks!

I would like it to go to the client PCs default printer. Can you please tell me how do I do that?

Printing directly on SAP-printer or via preview on windows printer

Hi all,
I'm having a serious print problem: The result of printing directly on a SAP printer or printing via preview on a windows printer is a wide difference!
In the beginning I was working only with the preview of the LiveCycle Designer to check the design of my forms. Later on I was checking them in preview mode in SAP-transactions or saved them onto my local disk. Printing was no problem because I printed the created forms on a window printer.
One day there was a big surprise when printing a form directly from SAP on a local SAP-printer (HP printer). The output looked a bit different. Somehow the form was like streched. The left and right margins were not on the sheet anymore. Even the lowest part of the footer was not visilble anymore. It looked like the layout was centerd and aligned on top of the page.
The SAP printer is installed with a PCL driver (standard for HP). Even adjustments relative to the SAP-hint 1444342
(device independent printing) were regarded.
My question now is: how to install SAP-printers that the print output is the same no matter what print method is chosen?
I appreciate any help, hints and good advices which leads to a solution of my problem.
Thanks & regards,
Phil
PS: I'm creating a Form with LiveCycle Designer 9.0.1 (SAP GUI 720, Patch-level 4).

     CLEAR gwa_nast-uhrvr.
     CLEAR gwa_nast-cmfpnr.
   MOVE gwa_nast TO nast.
   PERFORM einzelnachricht_dialog IN PROGRAM rsnast00 USING sy-subrc.
   IF sy-subrc NE 0.
     PERFORM objekt_entsperren IN PROGRAM rsnast00.
     IF sy-subrc EQ 9.
       RAISE print_error_dial.
     ELSE.
       RAISE print_error.
     ENDIF.

   SET SCREEN 0.
   PERFORM objekt_entsperren IN PROGRAM rsnast00.

Unable to print directly to PDF Printer Driver on Windows Vista

I'm having problems printing directly to my PDF printer drivers - neither "Adobe PDF" nor "Adobe PDF Converter" seems to work. The printer either gives me an error or when it asks me to save it to a folder, it seems to send the file into the atmosphere! I have Acrobat 8 Professional (Adobe CS3) on a Windows Vista Premium operating system. I tried downloading the Adobe distiller file "Winsteng.exe" but got an error when I tried to install it. Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated, as this is really frustrating! Thanks in advance.

What kind of file are you trying to print? Is this a recent issue or was it happening earlier as well? Repairing your Acrobat installation will definitely help you.
Also Can you share your screen shot of the following dailogs:
1) Printers and Faxes
2) Printing Preferences... (Go to Printers and Faxes->Right click on Adobe PDF Printer->Printing Preferences...)
3) Advanced Options (Go to Printers and Faxes->Right click on Adobe PDF Printer->Printing Preferences...->Paper/Quality->Advanced...)
4) Advanced Properties (Go to Printers and Faxes->Right click on Adobe PDF Printer->Properties->Advanced Tab)
5) Advanced Properties (Go to Printers and Faxes->Right click on Adobe PDF Printer->Properties->Ports Tab)

10g report printing - directly to default printer

I basically want to know how you can set or retrieve the clients default printer and assign it to des_name on the forms side. Thanks.

for windows only try this using webutil : it will pick up users default printer
-- use client_win_api_environment to select printer into local variable
v_printer_name := CLIENT_WIN_API_ENVIRONMENT.Read_Registry
('HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows', 'Device', true);
p_printer_name := (substr(v_printer_name, 1, instr(v_printer_name, ',' , 1)-1 ));
:control.printer_name := substr(p_printer_name, instr(p_printer_name, '\' , 3)+1);

I bypassed my server and print directly to my printer via TC/IP but for some pages I get printing that looks like Greek. If I go to print preview first it is okay. I did not have this problem before.

The above is the best I can do.

There is an unresolved Bug in Firefox that can cause that to occur. If it doesn't happen when you print from the Print Preview window, you'll have to print from the Preview window every time you print from Firefox - until that Bug is fixed. That is a regression that appeared when Firefox 3 was being developed - and was reported almost 3 years ago - the developers haven't come up with a fix for it yet.

No, Adobe stopped that happening many releases ago, for reasons that I don't understand but they will not change.

Sending reports directly to a printer (commands) 10g Linux

Hi,
Quick question. I am trying to confirm what I need to pass to Oracle Reports Server in order to print directly to the printer (bypassing any Preview or PDF version of the report in Oracle 10g. I am using Linux. We just installed the printer on the server. I modified to the uiprint.txt file under the ORACLE_HOME/tk/admin to point to the new PPD that we copied for that printer to ORACLE_HOME/guicommon/tk/admin/PPD.
Below is the report call I am making. I just want to verify that what I did was correct. I am currently receiving a FRM-41214: Unable to run Report. When I run the same report via the PDF option that displays in a separate browser window, it brings the same report up correctly.
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY('GENERICREPORT', REPORT_FILENAME, LOWER(:MODULE.MODULE_NAME)||'.rep');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY('GENERICREPORT', REPORT_SERVER, 'rep_inpp37_gt');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY('GENERICREPORT', REPORT_OTHER, V_OTHER);
-- V_OTHER is my parameters that I pass, such as PARAMFORM=NO, READONLY=yes, PAGESIZE, ORIENTATION, DELIMITER=NONE, and parameters which in this case there are none.
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY('GENERICREPORT', REPORT_DESTYPE, PRINTER);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY('GENERICREPORT', REPORT_DESNAME, 'gt-ybs-p'); - this is my printer name
V_REP := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT('GENERICREPORT');
When it runs the V_REP line, that's when I get the FRM-41214 error. Just was wanting to verify if what I had passed for the printer commands is correct.

I forgot one important piece which is why I am asking the question. I am running the report within an Oracle 10g form. I pass all the parameters across to the Reports Server, as seen above. When I run via the PDF option, I just change the DesType to Cache and DesFormat =PDF. When I run with this, it works and displays the report in a new browser window.
I just want to run the report with the exact same parameters but instead of generating a PDF, I want to run the report and send it directly to the printer without previewing it.

How to print directly to printer using USB and Bluetooth from Java (J2ME) app.

I write mobile phone apps in Java (J2ME). I want to print directly to a printer via USB and via Bluetooth. I cannot use a print job with the Java available to me. Once upon a time you could just send text and print control characters to a printer. I would like to be able to do that again. Alternatively could you provide a 'skeleton' data stream into which I could insert my code to produce what is sent to the printer when a print job is used with Java on a laptop or PC. I just want to sent simple text with a little formatting.

Hi,
As far as printing to devices not all devices support Bluetooth. Many devices support Bonjour protocal, IPP. The main print port is 9100. Additionally you can see what IO protocols are supported on a product by looking at the EWS (Embedded WebServer) there should be a networking page with that information. Port 9100 is your basic print port and different devices will support different formats (PDF, JPEG, PCL5, PCL6). If there is an API you can find (i am not familiar with J2ME availible calls, then you can use those and send the data to port 9100. Again that is the basic path most printers will accept. not all devices support bonjour not all device support bluetooth etc... Hope that helps and good luck.
I am an HP Employee.
