Printing Library

Presently, I can get Itunes for Windows to print the album library only two ways:
1 - By album title and artist.
2 - By album title, artist and track list.
Question - Is there a way to print the library by artist then album title?
I.E. It would be so much easier to look up an artist's name and see what albums by that artist are owned ( I have 486).
NCPlater's Asking.

In the Print command, choose Album Listing and then set the dropdown to "List of Albums." This prints the albums sorted by artist, which sounds like what you want.

Disk printing library

IN disk printing, photo library is missing in my C5580. I recently installed drivers for windows 7. HOw do I get the ibrary folder back.

Hi TRStep,
Did you upgrade from a previous operating system to Windows 7 ? If so from which one ?
Did you have the photo library in the previous version and not the upgraded version ?
If I helped you at all it would be great if you clicked the blue kudos star!
If I solved your post please mark it as solved to help others.

Printing library or playlists

Each time I try to print my library or certain playlists, I-Tunes completely quits and I'm reverted back to the Win Desktop. Any ideas? I have 500Mb of ram. There are ~ 3700 songs in my library.

Open iTunes, go to File>Print and choose either Song Listing or Album listing, whichever suits your requirements best. You can also use the Theme drop down menu to include different options.

Printing library by Geners

Hello All,
Question regarding printing ones library.
Currently when I print my library it prints by song listing and thats okay, however what Id like to do is print a listing of my library by song broken down by genres.
I have the option of making a playlist from the genre and then printing a listing from the playlist, but it seems there should be a simpler way. After all a person could have many genres and making a playlist of each one could become time consuming.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Perhaps Im missing something perhaps not.

Sounds like you found the easiest way to me. Make the playlist and print the contents of that.
Or make a playlist of all your songs, sort it by genre, and then print that. I don't know how the sort order works there.
If you can't find a way you like in iTunes, then make a playlist of all the songs and export the playlist to a TXT file. Then rename the text file to be whatever.CSV. The CSV file you can load up in any spreadsheet program (Excel, OpenOffice, etc), and from there you should be able to sort, reformat, print, whatever, using all the spreadsheet programs functionality.

Print Library - resolution dropped

Once upon a time the resolution of album art when using Print > Album listing was quite good. I don't print a paper copy, that would be wasteful, but sending it to a PDF distiller would result in a very nice looking file with clean, sharp album art.
With some latest version of iTunes (couldn't say exactly when this changed), printing an Album listing looks wretched. The text and iTunes-supplied graphics are fine, but the album art looks horrible. I have even tried printing one page direct from iTunes to an Epson R1800, looks as bad as the PDF output. Tweaked all my PDF settings (Press Quality with Optimize For Fast Web View turned off), no change.
So at some point iTunes started sending rotten resolution to the printer.
All my album art (with a couple of exceptions) looks fantastic in iTunes. I can scale Cover Flow quite large and they still look pretty good (and yes, I understand the difference between screen and print resolution). Most of the album art I found myself via image search or other websites - I try to stay around 600x600 dpi. So a 1.5" square tile on an Album listing printout should look fantastic.
What happened? I have old PDFs of old libraries that look great. Are those days over? Paperless society or not, I'd still like to be able to get a nice-looking PDF.

What format are these reports? If you are suing JDK 6, check out the java.awt.Desktop class. It uses your OS's supported functions to do options such as print, browse, mail, open, edit, etc.

System Slow-Down After Printing

I recently installed Mountain Lion. Over the last couple of weeks I have noticed a significant operating system (10.8.2) slow down after printing with my Epson R3000 printer. This happens after every printing session. When I say slow-down I mean significant delays and dreading "beachballs" when opening applications, selecting menu items or anything else I should choose to do. I'm left with re-starting the computer to get going normally again.After re-atarting I have gone to "verify permissions" and I get approx "5" pages of permission errors, all associated with the printer library in some fashion or another. I then repair all those permissions and re-start my MacPro. The operating system then works as normal and I can use the computer with no problems (until I start printing again). I mainly use the computer for photo editing with Adobe Photoshop CS6, Adobe Lightroom 4 and Aperture 3.2.
I did not have this problem before upgrading to Mountain Lion (and then to 10.8.2). I did not get "significant" permission errors before upgrading. Since all printer drivers for this printer are handled now by Apple via the "new" Software Update process I can't even re-download the Epson printer driver and start over. I'm completely at a loss as to what, associated with the printer function, is causing these "significant" permission errors and subsequent operating system slow down. My printer is almost brand new and was working flawlessly before Mountain Lion. Let me be clear though, I can print fine. My problem is the system slow down after using the print function which I am only guessing has something to do with the "5" pages of permission errors after printting photos (with CS6/Lightroom/Aperture).
Incidently, I am not in any way a computer expert. Verifying and repairing permissions is about all I know how to do that's why I need help. I also just thought I would try the forums first before going to technical support to see what people thought about this.
Again, I repair the permission errors, re-start my system and all is fine. Any further suggestions would be deeply appreciated.

When you see a beachball cursor or the slowness is especially bad, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.

Problem with printing generated pdf.

Hello!
I need to print pdf file, that was generated by my application. I am using Apache FOP to generate pdf (xml+xslt). For printing I am using Maxatec MT-150 receipt printer. Seems, that pdf is generated successfully, because I can open it and I also can print it using Windows interface. However, when I am sending it to printer in my JAVA application, printed file is just set of unreadable characters and black lines. I was trying to use different DocFlavors, like DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.AUTOSENSE, DocFlavor.URL.AUTOSENSE, but neither had a luck. My code looks like this:
PrintService receiptPrintService = getReceiptPrinterService(printerName);
DocPrintJob printJob = receiptPrintService.createPrintJob();
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(new File("StatusReport.pdf"));
Doc doc = new SimpleDoc(fis, DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.AUTOSENSE, null);
printJob.print(doc, null);
private static PrintService getReceiptPrinterService(String printerName) {
          PrintService[] services = PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(null, null);
          for (PrintService printService : services) {
               if (printerName.equals(printService.getName())) {
                    return printService;
          return null;
     }For some reason I cannot set DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.PDF, as it throws following exception: sun.print.PrintJobFlavorException: invalid flavor. (despite the fact that I can pdf using the same printer, but through Windows interface)
So, I really don't see what is the problem. Should I use something in my xslt template to specify content type? currently I have:
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" omit-xml-declaration="no" indent="yes"/>Any help would be appreciated.
Alexander.

@Dick_Adams
I am sorry, but what error message are you talking about? The only error I get is "sun.print.PrintJobFlavorException: invalid flavor" and as far as I understand it depends on printer, what is supported and what is not supported. Or am I wrong? I am using standard java.awt.print library.
@AndrewThompson64, thanks for the tip!)) It does print correctly, but in this case I am not sure I have enough possibilities to control printing. For instance, my pdf was printed as landscape, but I need portrait.

Acrobat Pro 8.0 CS3 - PDF file print in Mac OS 10.5.8 fixed!

Since upgrade from version 7.0, Acrobat Pro PDF 8.0 printer kept pausing and wouldn't print document.
I previously had same trouble with the Acrobat PDF 7.0 printer, but eventually got that to work with a command entered via terminal mode:
Adobe PDF print (OS 10.5.6) work-around using UNIX command entered via the Terminal;
In Terminal type the following if you are using Acrobat 7.x:
sudo chmod 4755 /usr/libexec/cups/backend/pdf700
Plan A for today: Tried same thing for v. 8.0;
In Terminal type the following if you are using Acrobat 8.x:
sudo chmod 4755 /usr/libexec/cups/backend/pdf800
This didn't work, so went to Plan B;
The other suggested approach is to remove various PDF printer library files and then follow with the Adobe "repair" function.
Remove following files and then "Repair" from Adobe menu;
/Library/Printers/PPD Plugins/AdobePDFPDE800.plugin
/Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/en.lproj/ADPDF8.ppd
~/Library/Printers/Adobe PDF 8.0.app
/private/etc/cups/ppd/AdobePDF8.ppd
/usr/libexec/cups/backend/pdf800
This didn't work before, so went to Plan C;
I looked through all discussion threads again, a few mentioned installing latest update to Acrobat Pro 8 ... I had already done that, or so I thought ... I went again to update menu command within Acrobat, and it plainly reported that "Adobe doesn't have any updates at this time" just as it had before.
I then compared my installed rev. version vs. the latest updates available for manual download, and found I was several behind.
I then manually installed each one in sequence and towards the end of the process, Acrobat opened a pop-up window telling me there were updates available, and asked if I wanted to install them. Go figure, one of the manual updates fixed the menu updater not working correctly. Not sure which one, but I eventually landed at version 8.3.1. I repeated "Plan B", and now the PDF printer is working again.
I guess with trial & error, even a blind squirrel will find a nut ...

PS Library for Java?

Does Adobe have a postscript print library for Java?
I called Adobe Support - and got the typical India call center (no help of course). Hopefully Adobe has smart people someplace in the company... just not sure where.
We have a Java Web Start desktop client for geospatial work that we need to add postscript support for large format printing (e.g. E size drawings). The goal is decrease print times over the normal Java2D/Windows "render a bitmap image on the client - then send it to the print server - then to the printer" method by creating a small postscript file to send to the printer - that can then create the large bitmap to print at the device.
From what I can tell Adobe has no such library - is that really true?
If so - does anyone have recomendations on a good solid commercial or open source library?
Google seaches come up with only a couple (e.g. RiePS), none of which sound very robust. Does no one develep applications to output to postscript any more?
Thanks in advance...

Assuming that you are lookng for a library for creation of PostScript, no, Adobe offers no libraries for PostScript creation in Java or otherwise.
Most applications in common operating systems environements (Windows, MacOS, etc.) rely on the operating system's internal graphics model and the provided PostScript driver to generate PostScript for the particular device and deliver same over the device's communication channel (Ethernet, USB, etc.).

Adding printer Error "successful-ok-conflicting-attributes"

Hey
I had to deleat a printer from the printer list because is was so jammed up with stopped printing jobs. When i went to add it again i get this message
"successful-ok-conflicting-attributes" and doesn't add the printer
I have a cannon S330 connected via USB to a PowerBook g4. And have reconnected it and restarted it several times.
I am kinna a newbie and have no idea what this means.
If anyone could help that would be much appreciated.

HELP!
I upgraded the drivers on my HP pcs 2510 all in one printer which had been working well for a couple of years connected wirelessly. After installing the upgrade, the printer is recognized on the network, but I get a "successful-ok-conflicting-attributes" error message and it will not load the printer driver. I've gone to the HP web site and followed the suggested multistep process of removing all files related to the printer (library files, etc) and reinstalling the software - it didn't work. I've reset the permissions a couple of times - it didn't work. I've tried to reinstall the older version of the printer software (that used to work) - it didn't work. I'm currently not able to print. Any suggestions????

Epson printer stopped working after yosemite

All of a sudden, after Apple autoupdate installed yosemite update and new epson drivers, my printer will only print first line of a document.
I've tried deleting and reinstalling printer, repairing and verifying drive, deleting printer library files, unplugging, rebooting... nothing is working. Does anyone have a solution for me? Help!

My Epson WF-4360 "lost it's mind" after being accidentally unplugged for most of a day.
The printer DID work from Yosemite both before and after the "loss of power"
The printer DID work from iOS before the loss of power ... but stopped working after that
ALL the printer status reported to be fine -- showed the wi-fi network address and connection ... but was NOT discoverable from iOS
This fix resolved the issue:
Find the wi-fi IP address of the printer -- either from the printer or the network (mine was a local IP ... 10.0.1.n)
Go to Safari on the iOS device -- enter the IP address of the printer
Scroll down to the BASIC SETTINGS on the left side menu
Scroll down to the AirPrint Setup button ... click to start
Click OK -- to advance through the menus ... two separate browser pages for me
You will see AirPrint "Setup Complete"
From iOS ... the printer is now discoverable.

Importing photos to print

I am using Lightroom 2. I want to import photos to print from an external hard drive , but am doing so one by one. Is there a way to do this more quickly? Thanks in advance for any help.

It's not clear whether you're asking about Import or Print. However, I assume you are referring to printing. If so then simply select all of the images you want to print (Library grid or Print module filmstrip). All should appear as a print page (see screenshot below). Once slected in this way you need only ensure that sufficient paper is loaded before hitting print button.

Further Printing Problem/Question

Well first, I am extremely sorry that I installed Snow Leopard. I am basically unable to use my Epson Stylus Photo R380, and several programs have frozen many times. Never had a single issue before I updated. Anyway my dilemma is this:
I have followed several of the "fixes" here such as deleting the Epson folder from the printer library and reloading from the Epson site. Well first of all, I never see specifically a choice for the "R380"...only the photo pro series from numerous choices in the drivers. If I choose that, I get the following printer error:
"cgpdftoraster unsupported coloSpace: colorSpace = -1, colorOrder = 1, bitsPerColor = 1
If I use the "Gutenprint" R380 (which many people say is a lousy driver) it prints, but with poor quality. With either driver in both photoshop and in iPhoto, I never get a choice of the type of paper/photo paper/quality to print on. Furthermore, using Discus, I never have the choice to print on a CD/DVD
Prior to "Snow Leopard", printing was easy and flawless. I will NEVER update another program again until at least six months has passed from release.

The other half of the fixes mentioned here include downloading the latest software using Software Update. According to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669, there is a recently updated driver available through Software Update. Delete the <hard drive>/Library/Printers/EPSON folder, delete the printer from Print & Fax Prefs, run Software Update to download the latest Epson update. After installing the update, restart, then re-add the printer.

Fuji xerox printer wont install

I have a new iMac, and I want to install my current office printer onto it, but it doesnt work. i downloaded the for the fuji xerox docuprint c525A from the website, and installed, although in the dialog box it only said upgrade. It doesnt show up in my "Printers" folder in the "Library", and although i have gone through the add IP printer menu, i still get the dialogue box saying that the printer address is busy, trying again in 30 seconds. Problem is, it doesnt try again, or it gets the same answer, I dont know. the same box stays there. the printer is on my office network, connected through a network hub. Anyone have any ideas?

Looking at the Xerox web site, it seems that there is really only a ppd for this old beast. So the file will most likely end up in the PPDs section of the printer library.

This message can be the result of selecting the wrong type of connection during the installation or an incorrect queue name. Check what the other computers in you office have configured for this printer (if they are Windows, go to Properties > Ports > Configure Port).
The error can also be the result of incorrect network addressing. Make sure your iMac is on the same subnet as the printer.

Multiple users on computer

This question is somewhat answered on other forum posts, but it begs to be asked again. If enough people ask, maybe the bean counters will start to understand how regular customers buy and use books. Then those same features will be available on eBooks.
Just installed ADE on one computer, under one user account. (System: Windows XP PRO sp3). Did this as both my wife and myself are getting eBook readers for Christmas. (Augen "TheBook" units)
First issue / question why not have multiple user ID's supported on single device through the ADE interface directly?
Can I actually have multiple activated ID's on XP via separate user log-ins? (Again, ADE should be one program instance with multi-users IDs to the one instance, not separate Windows accounts. It should also have a share/loan function and frankly an ownership transfer function.)
The eReader device itself does not appear to support multiple user logins. So, I guess that means the reader is lock to a single Adobe ID?
When will the above changes occur if ever?
(I am also posing this question to Augen's tech support.)
My soapbox comments to feed up to the publishing world's bean counters that are forcing DRM and fixing prices.
Real world buying habits. Single book bought by myself or wife may be read by both of us. (Gee! Isn't that a surprise! We don't buy 2 copies.) And maybe occasionally loaned to a friend, passed on to a friend, donated to charity or sold at a garage sale. More likely sitting on a shelf after one or 2 reads.
Real world current MSRP/list price on a new eBook: As much as or maybe slightly less than the same printed Hardbound book. More than same printed paperback book.(Viewed recent Mary Higgins Clark book as example: 75% of Amazon hardcover price and 163% of not yet released paperback price.)
Real world cost of delivering eBook vs printed book: About one-tenth the cost of a printed book. And that is with all the extra manpower wasted on DRM programing and servers.It would be a twentieth without the DRM costs.
Printing, warehousing and transporting books is not cheap. I am in the printing business. I know this.
An eBook cuts out all the labor and material of printing, all the costs of physical warehouse and transport, and wasted un-sold product or remaindered product. Unsold returns from retailer back to distributor or manufacturer very by catagory and title. But range from 10-50%. That all is gone with an eBook.
So, every level from publishing to retail is more profitable with the ebook model.
Real world use of an Ebook with DRM ePub. Restricted to single user on apparently 6 computers and 6 portable devices. Effect is that at best I can buy a book and others in my household may read it on one of the registered devices as well. I have paid as much or more than a trade paperback. Publisher has received a higher profit by far and so has seller. Author has not received a higher percentage or royalty most likely.
I can not sell it as used, I can not donate it to charity or library. This, even though I have paid full retail and that is effectively ten plus times as much over traditional printed book production and distribution costs. Distributor actually may have higher costs as they must maintain records access for an extended time, which with court cases will in the future probably mean 20 plus years. But, that cost should be well offset by no warehousing or brick & mortar store costs.
Of coarse I can still read the full printed library of Mark Twain books that my grandmother purchased for my father and uncle in the 1920's today. And those books will last another 100 years with moderate care. So I am paying ten times more than cost, and book may last 20 years (with luck and no business failure) INSTEAD OF 200.
Long story short, I am willing to purchase an ePub even with reasonable DRM protections and at a price at or lower than trade paperback, even at 75% of hard bound one new releases on occasion. But, at the much higher profit potential of a single purchased book to publisher and retailer, one should be able to use and share it the same as a printed book.
As it is, I can not even directly buy an eBook on most sites as a gift. Don't publishers know that books a often bought as gifts?
Publishers: If your eBook sales are not at the level you would expect, maybe, just maybe the points above may have something to do with why consumers are not buying into eBooks as you would hope.
I guess that ends my rant for now.

This might not be the right way but since I was having similar issues today, this something that worked.
I placed the domain.site file on my time capsule and the Imac which I created the pages with remembered the site.
On my mac mini I can access the site it if I open the domain.site file directly using the finder and it will then open iweb on my mac mini. If I open iweb directly, it seems to remember previous iweb sites that I created but not the current one.
Hope this helps.
If anyone else has another way please let us know.
