Printing from SJSE 8 on Solaris?

How is one printing from anywhere in SJSE 8? For example I would like to print the source code from one of the document windows. When I bring up the print dialog, the print service name is displayed as "destination" and status as "Not accepting jobs". The name drop down shows no printers and the properties button is grayed out. How do you specify which printer to print to?
This is on Solaris 10 X86 and SJSE 8.
I am new to both the IDE and Solaris so I kind of stuck here.
Thanks,
Avi

The query to obtain the list of available printers seems to use system calls. On solaris, this would mean printers must be specified in the .printers file in the home directory or in /etc/printers.conf. (man printers)
On my solaris sparc system, i have a file called .printers in my home directory which has a line like the following:
_default   printer1
The ide displays 'printer1' as the destination printer in this case.
Can you check your ${HOME}/.printers file (and create one if it does not exist)?
BTW, the properties button may be greyed out even for an existing printer, if the printer does not support the functionality.

  • Printing to the wrong Printer from the Batch Job

    Hi,
    Morning every one!
    I am facing a problem with Print which is coming from Batch Job. The Batch job contains 10 steps. Previously all steps out put has configured to one printer. Recently I changed one step out put to the another printer with the request. But the print is going to the old printer still.
    When I am checking at the batch job -> Steps -> Specific step ->Print Specifications -> Output Device .. able to see New Printer.
    But batch job -> Steps-> Select Specific step -> Spool -> Doble click .. There spool is going to the old printer. I am facing this problem for only one step.
    The issue is dragging from past one week.. I tried couple of options..No luck
    I appreciate any inputs/Solution for this.
    Env:  ECC5.0/Solaris/Oracle
    Thanks,
    Sri.

    I got the solution finally from ABAP team. The printer is maintained in the Condition records of the Variant for the particular step. Even though I assigned the printer in Batch job..It is taking the printer from Condition record.
    Thanks,
    Sri.

    You can use IBM Infoprint Server for z/OS.

  • 'Dunning Letter Print from Dunning Letter Generate'

    hi,
    How can i run the "Dunning Letter Print from Dunning Letter Generate" standard program without runing the spwaned program called 'Dunning Letter Generate'.I mean i want to run the 'Dunning Letter Print from Dunning Letter Generate'(execution method: report) independently.
    I need to pass the parameters to the 'Dunning Letter Print from Dunning Letter Generate' directly instead of passing to the spwaned program ''Dunning Letter Generate".
    Thanks

    Hi Gareth,
    New parameters to be add are:
    Tier : <xxxx>
    Service Segment: <xxxxx>
    Account Manager: <xxxx>
    Location where I am picking these 3:
    navigation:select any AR responsibility
    customer->standard(query with any customer)->customer address
    we have enabled 'site use information' dff in customer address window, from this dff we are taking these 3 parameters.
    reason to add these 3 parameters:
    we cant treat all the customers same. so we need to send some smooth(no harsh) dunning letters to some of our most trusted customers. so how can we identify gud customers in the list.
    so we have enabled site use information dff. those customers who is have values for these 3 parameters. will be treated as v good and reguler customers for us. so for them we can send other dunning letters.
    note*: this is to identify the customers like reguler customers,non requler customers.
    bez in spwaned program we have parameters like 1.customer low 2.customer high. thats it .so it is very difficult to find out the nature of customer.
    pls advice me on this..to proceed further..
    Thanks

  • I can't print web pages since a recent upgrade to 4.01. The print command works but the page comes out empty. right now a copy the link to IE and print from there. HELP!

    When printing from the mozilla 4.01 browser the printer spits out blank pages. It seems like it happened after downloading and running mozilla 4.01 browser.
    I have to copy the link to IE (boo!) to print the coupon or page on my printer.
    Why?

    The "Use custom settings for history" selection allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting this doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings.
    Firefox shows "Use custom settings for history" as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.
    If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".
    "Never Remember History" means that Private Browsing is active and "Always use private browsing mode" gets a checkmark.
    You need to remove the checkmark on "Always use private browsing mode" to leave Private Browsing mode or chose the "Remember History" setting.

    If you have a USB printer connected to your computer, Mac or PC, you can activate or install AirPrint and print from your iPad over wifi without any special apps.
    Activate AirPrint in Mac OS X;

  • How can I print from the icon in FF5?

    I have been unable to print from any of the icons in FF5. This has only occurred in the past few days. The only way I can print is to "Select" on the page, and then "Print Selection" on the print screen. I can print from IE by using the icons.
    This is also true with my Yahoo email.

    In Mac OS X, right-clicking the document's icon brings up a similar menu, but documents are printed from the application, not from the OS. The application is launched, the document opened,and the document sent to the printer, bypassing only the Print dialogue.
    The same route may be triggered by dragging and dropping the file's icon onto the printer's icon in the Dock.

  • I can no longer print from a website. I can from other browsers but not Mozilla. Help

    I used to be able to print any time I needed to. Then the print became so small I could not read it. Then the pages I printed from the website, printed blank pages. I contacted Thunderbird because this was first noted on email when I tried to print something from a website, they told me it was a Mozilla problem. So I then tried to print straight from the website and got the same thing. Nothing. The page is completely blank when printed.

    These suggestions are not the problem and I have contacted HP and they have run all the diagnostics and they say the problem is not with the printer or the software. All other browsers print, just not Mozilla

  • MFP M127fn connected, test printing OK, can't print from applications

    Hello Everyone!
    I have just set up my M127fn via USB on a Windows 8 system. The set up went fine. I have a small stack of test pages from the HP software, but it won't print anything from any applications like MSOffice. The HP diagnostic software (Print and Scan Doctor 4.6)  can communicate with the printer and everything checks out OK.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello! 
    I have replied twice to your last posting, but have heard no response. Unless a solution can be presented quickly, I fell I must return the product. LPug and play was introduced with Windows 95 and this HP product has not lived up to that 20 year old technological standard. My previous replies are copied below.
    Please respond soon.__________________________________________

    Hello again!
    I haven't heard a response to my most recent reply. Is there anything you can suggest before I give up and return this HP product to the store? I would like a quick resolution to this. As an update to my previous email (copied below), printing is no longer working through Adobe Reader.
    Thanks,

  • Can't print from iBook G4 via Windows XP to an HP PSC 1410

    Hello,
    I realize this question is very similar to others on this discussion but I haven't been able to find an answer to my problem.
    I cannot print from my iBook via XP to an HP PSC 1410.
    I can print from my iBook via XP to an HP LaserJet 4L.
    I was able to print from my iBook via XP to an HP882C that was connected
    to the same USB port that the HP PSC 1410 is connected to now.
    I have an iBook G4 running 10.4.3
    I have a PC running XP with an HP LaserJet 4L on a parallel port and an HP PSC 1410 on a USB port.
    I installed the following from http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/hpijs/
    hpijs-foomatic-2.02.ppc.dmg
    espgs-7.07.1.ppc.dmg
    HP-PSC_1400-hpijs.ppd
    I think I correctly followed the instructions at:
    http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/3015.html
    They worked for the LaserJet printer.
    When I attempt to print from the iBook to the 1410 the HP doesn't print at all.
    I don't see any error messages on the iBook. The document gets spooled onto the Windows print spooler, the printer even starts making noises, the print heads move about a bit and then stop. The print job just sits there in the queue with a status of "Printing". The print job is then stuck and hard to delete.
    I don't need to be able to scan or check ink levels from the iBook.
    I would just like to be able to do color printing.
    What else should I try? Given the symptoms where might I be going wrong?
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.3)   1 Gig RAM

    Hi all,
    I finally figured out what the issue was, Why it fixes it I can not say,
    but it does.
    On the Shared printer on the Windows side, go to the properties of the Printer.
    Go to the Ports tab, and deselect the "Enable bidirectional Support" (do not
    have it checked). Once this is done and you also do not have any firewalls
    setup on the Windows machine (Windows, MCAfee, Norton, ....). You should be
    able to print.
    Finally!!!!! I hope this helps many many people. As I have had many
    people asking for the solution if I found it.
    Thanks,
    Steven Stuart

    Sorry you are having problems with printing from the internet.  I have a few more questions to ask you before I can be of much assistance.
    What web-browser are you using?  
    Do you have any problems printing from Word or other non-internet documents?  
    What did you do to fix your computer (system restore, clean install of the OS, etc)?  
    Have you tried an alternate web-browser?
    Make sure to install all of your Microsoft updates to see if that helps.  Otherwise, answer those questions for me please and I will be happy to help.
    Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.

  • I have been using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 for two years. I got a new printer and installed it although I did not remove my old printer from my computer. I used this program and my new printer for quite a few months, but today I deleted my old printer

    I have been using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 for along time now. When I first used the program I had a different printer than I have now. Although I changed printers I never removed the software from my old one. Now this was never a problem until today. When I choose a printer I still had option to use the old one but always chose my new HP Envy 5530 and Adobe never had a problem printing from that new printer. However today I decided to remove my old printer from my computer and now my Adobe cannot find my new printer.  How can I make it find the HP printer?

    Try this --
    Go to the bottom of the link I gave you, and you will see
    click that link and then click the chat button to talk to an Adobe agent

  • How do I select a thick paper to print from Indesign?

    How do I select a thick paper to print from Indesign? I have to go to the printer to select the thicker paper. I would like to select the paper from my computer in Indesign.  Other programs allow this.

    At the bottom of the print dialog box is a button labeled Printer. That will lead you to the printer-specific options like paper weight.
