Printing PDFs via cups ignores job attributes

I'm trying to print PDF documents from Linux (using CUPS to translate the PDF to Postscript before sending it to the printer). However, the print job attributes (number of copies, paper size, etc) are all being lost somewhere in the translation.
I'm using Red Hat 3 (enterprise), CUPS 1.1.17 and JDK 1.4.2_09
Has anyone seen a problem like this?
I've run similar code on windows. It doesn't print PDFs, but the code that sets the attributes is the same. I don't have a problem there.

Can't print pdf via CUPS / Samba

I have a printer set up on a Linux server, which is shared in an office of Windows machines. It works flawlessly, I can print anything except for pdf files. On the client side there are no visible error messages or anything, but nothing happens, and no trace of the printing command in CUPS logs.
Locally, from the Linux machine pdf's can be printed without any problem, but I can't do that via network from Windows machines.

Operating system? Reader version? Can you post a screenshot of that unavailable option?

Direct Printing PDF via Acrobat 8.0 under Lion

Direct printing a PDF via Acrobat 8.0 worked under Snow Leopard but no longer under Lion. I have a relatively old installation of CS3 on my MacBookPro and wanted to print a pages document with 12 x 12 cm size onto an A4 page (with integrated cutting marks) - this is not possible with the integrated PDF printer in Lion an so i decided to use Acrobat 8.0.
The Console says the following:

Has anybody an idea how to solve this problem. Of course i posted this error on the Adobe Help forums but since these guys only want to sell the newest Suites if have no hope, that somebody will respond to my question - and i think it is a Lion issue (CUPS problem).
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/921666

This is right, but since the upgrade to Lion was a relatively big one (with many functionalities that i have be missing before) i think i will not go back just to regain a normal-working direct PDF printing. Nevertheless i think, if the very old CS3 worked until Snow Leopard it would be very easy for an Apple Engineer to figure out, which trick would allow Acrobat to direct print again - i don't think the underlying CUPS has changed very much - also i found a lot of similar error reports on the web (mostly Acrobat related after updates from System ) which were solved via correcting some rights in the library (this didn't do the trick for me ...)
Best problem solving would be, that Adobe Software gets cheaper - i have installed the newest Aperture, iWork, Office, iLife, Mindmanager, ... - if you are not a student but a hobby worker these software packages are quite affordable ...

Set filename of printed PDF via script

Hi folks!
I have a little problem with generating a PDF. First my Workflow:
I have a InDesign document with 6 pages. This document is merged with a databasefile containing 100 records. After merging it, we have to generate a PDF file. This PDF file is opened within acrobat. Within the document, I'm searching for an ID each record has so I can split the document to 100 files (each with 6 pages) and name it by the ID I found.
The script within Acrobat is finished and working. I thought, the InDesign script is finished ,too. But I was wrong -.-
I merged the databasefile with the document and exported it as PDF. But after exporting, we noticed that the script within Acrobat isn't finding the adressheader where the ID is in. The script only noticed the text after that header. The result is, that Acrobat get's always "null" as ID
If we print the PDF with our PDFprinter, the header could be read by our Acrobat script. I don't know why this is... But now I changed the script to print the files via our PDF printer. Unfortunately I can't set a name for my exported file - do you know if there is a possibility to print PDF's without prompting after each one and with a via script given name?
Here you can see the old script for InDesign and right after it, the Acrobat sript. Maybe I made some mistake by generating my PDFexport and don't need to use the printer?
INDESIGN SCRIPT:
* prompts filebrowser and stores name and path of file in variable
var sourceDocument = File.openDialog("Bitte Indesign-Dokument auswählen", "*.indd", false);

        mergeDocument.close(SaveOptions.no);
        i++;

Printing PDF via Adobe livecycle from R/3 ECC to local printer

Hi,
I am working on an Adobe Form via SFP transaction on ECC 5.0 and an Adobe Livecycle 7.1. I can create PDFs, and send them to spool through a LPDF printer defined in SPAD as a PDF1 type. This is ok to get PDF in spool but I want to send these PDF to my local windows printer through SAPLPD.
I get an error message in SAPLPD :
Job 0009Jjkn.TD1 (raw) started on printer SKDFMLDSF
(11:06:48) Error: The printer SKDFMLDSF is unknown to Windows Print Manager.
(11:06:48) The following printers are currently defined:

(11:07:18) Error: BG: printfile failed, msg = 808 SAPLPD:Windows Problem, siehe SAPLPD Protokoll
Does anyone know how I can send a spool containing the generated PDFs to my local printer ???
Thanks,

Hi Nicolas,
To avoid problems with SAPLPD you can print the PDF using the control technology.
Please read the SAP note

Printing PDF's in Java

Hi,
I am in the process of trying to silently print PDFs via java in a Windows NT 4.0 environment. The solution so far has been to convert then into postscript files using pdftops (co/ xpdf) and then simply send the postscript file to the printer using the java PrintService.
Which would work fine except for the fact that I need to print envelopes (DL and C4) (not a problem but for the fact that some of the printers only have Postscript Level 2 Emulation and don�t recognize the fact that an envelope is being printed).
And I need to be able to print to a specific (i.e. default) tray on a network printer, and using the java PrintService uses the wrong tray.
Tried using JPedal and JPrint, and the get past the tray problem but haven�t tried them with the envelopes yet � can�t see that being a problem though.
Big question is does anybody have experience with print files from java to a specific tray on a network printer.
Thanks

Acrobat 5.0 when I open a pdf on my system.
This is exactly the code currently in my program.
I just ran it again to test it and it works.
1) The application has an ugly square gray box on the screen while printing.
2) The Acrobat reader starts on the task bar.
3) For the application to continue I have to expand the reader and close it myself.
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
String selectedDocument = SelectedDocument();
if (selectedDocument != null) {
    try {
      String command = "C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Acrobat 5.0\\Reader\\AcroRd32.exe /t "+selectedDocument+" \\\\CONTROL\\HP LaserJet 4L";
      Runtime rn = Runtime.getRuntime();
      Process process = rn.exec(command);
      process.waitFor();
    catch (Exception pEX) {showSystemError("Unable to print document.", selectedDocument, pEX, false);}
}It is not what I wanted to do - I wanted to do the print
internally in the program.

Cannot print pdf files remotely with cups

Hi @ all.
I have a printer connected to my homeserver via lan. The printer is shared over the network via cups. The clients can print raw text, png files etc, but not pdf files. The printer wakes up, the cups webinterface shows the job as success, but nothing is printed. There are no errors in journal on server or clients, same for application. Pdf printing from the server works fine.
I guess there's some package missing on the clients, but have no idea which. I've tried cups-filters and samsung-unified-driver, but no success.
All machines run uptodate arch, the printer is a Samsung SCX-4726FN.
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers,
Marcus

Thanks for the reply.
Not all of the optional deps are installed, only ghostscript. But they're not installed on the server either.

How can I retain hyperlinks while saving a webpage as PDF via Print?

How can I retain hyperlinks while saving a webpage as PDF via Print?
This is the title of an apple forum question, and it is a bug in both Safari 5.1.3 and under, and I find it to also occur in Firefox browser (at least 9.* 10.*, 11.0), running on Lion OS (10.7.2, 10.7.3). See:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3212301?start=0&tstart=0
Under the newer Mac OS mentioned, and Firefox 10.2, 11.0, 9.*, if I select:
File -> Print -> PDF -> Open PDF in Preview"
(and view / save the PDF in Preview, you will see none of the links in the original web page are active
or using
File -> Print -> PDF -> Save as PDF...
same problem. Try this using any Wikipedia page, for example.
When this problem was posed in Apple forums, by a user of the Safari browser, it was found to be a bug (since Aug 2011) fixed in a Safari browser build 5.1.4 circa Jan 2012. I tried the newer Safari browser and sure enough the problem went away (except that links embedded in the PDF no longer appeared as blue text - ARGH - but "hover over" with the cursor showed the link and clicking the link in Preview viewer activated the link in a browser window).
So I post this to the Mozilla community, please fix this 'cause I don't want to have to switch over to Safari browser every time I want to archive a PDF with active links!!!!
P.S. I did a spot-check and with the newer add-on Enjoy Reading 1.0.1 and FF11.0. When the Enjoy reading formatted version appears in the browser window, all URLs/links are preserved and highlighted in blue, but when I print that browser window as PDF, the links are dead (don't work) even though they appear in blue in the PDF.
So, what's going on, can the Safari fix be researched and applied to FF?
Also, on some forums, people are responding, Well, try installing Acrobat reader. Well, I don't want to, Preview reader has worked fine for me for years.

Thanks jscher2000.
RE: -- '''Generally speaking, PDF converters that work by intercepting a print job do not have access to the URLs behind links in the page.''' --
I cannot say I agree. I could email you a PDF clipping or two (generated from Safari on Mac OS, in its native capability with no add-ons) that shows you otherwise. When I used PC platforms I did have to install PDF converters (tried both free and expensive ones) that did what I describe.
I cannot try the add-on you mention, '''Print Pages to Pdf.''' in Firefox. It shows in my browser and Mac OS platform "Not available for your platform." So I am guessing it was written for the PC version of Firefox.
The Mac OS has had a native PDF-creation functionality for as many years as I have been using it; I used PC prior to that, Win3.1 through XP and NT. And on my PC, I bought (and at work, my employer bought $$$, I had to justify three levels up to management the ability to create PDFs on my work PC) some Adobe functionality to CREATE pdf's (readin's free and easy, makin' em's costly on the PC).
I've gone and dug through some of my (Mac) doc and clipping archives, and I find that stuff I created after about Dec 2008 or so seems to eliminate all link functionality. When viewed in the Apple native "Preview" application (sort of Apple's equivalent to Adobe Acrobat reader, ships with the OS): link tags are highlighted/tinted, clicking a link opens a (default) browser and takes you there; hover-over the tag text shows the actual link. (Of course, not all old links are still VALID or point to the desired source.)
I could, in Safari or FF browser window and with no add-ons or Adobe paid products whatsoever, use the native OS method to create PDF's from any application (word processor, spreadsheet, browser, etc) via the menu File -> Print -> Save as PDF menu and create a PDF that had active hyperlinks. In Apple OS Lion 10.7.3, I still can't when it uses this broken WebKit interface, links are "dead" as a doornail until a fix is distributed in WebKit for a future Lion release. It seems this functionality died at least as far back as Leopard OS 10.6.8, but don't quote me on that. Also, my version of Pages 2009 version 4.1(923) (sorta like Word) STILL creates a PDF document that preserves (1) text hyper-links within the document, and (2) web links (in the PDF) that open the browser. I just made a test document.
When all you can see in the PDF is the tag text, there is nothing to copy-paste to follow any link. Also, hypertext links are often used by authors to create links to other points in a document: now even *that* is broken in the PDF version of the documents I retrieve from the web and print from FireFox (Broken in Safari 5.1.3 and earlier but fixed in 5.1.4).
Try this on the PC, in your browser and print a news clipping as PDF, do the links in the PDF work? What products do this, and what don't? I would bet the machine with a full Adobe suite this will work flawlessly. (Why should a PC user have to pay hundreds of $ to create this functionality in what I thought was an open standard (PDF)? But that's talkin' religion, let's not start that.)
Some folks might say,
go online and find the original source doc in your browser. Or,
go and add those links manually using the Preview edit add-link capability (hunh? no thanks) , or
save each item worth saving as an HTML archive instead of a PDF (argh, creating a whole directory in the process, I might add, including ads). Or,
who needs PDFs, everything is online.
Or, buy some Adobe product.
I think they miss my point. This is a real strange dumbing-down of archival PDF documents, or at least a destruction of the ability to use PDF as an archive that retains its links and references.
C.F. the guy who has archives of scientific papers, and the old material all cross-references nicely but after date X there are no working links.

Printing PDF files with smb/cups not possible // SLPReg status -20!

Hello *,
i am running SAMBA 3.6.1-1 and CUPS 1.5.0-1 on a dedicated system. Printer: Canon Pixma IP4500 (USB).
The problem is that all Windows 7 clients are not able to print PDF files (since few months) on that printer while printing these files with Linux software is no problem. The PDF files are neither encrypted nor forbidden to print.
I tried to print with Adobe Acrobat Reader X (latest) and Foxit Reader. Both are preparing the pages to be printed and close their printing dialog after processing. Windows printing queue does not show any jobs (which it even does not when printing simple images with MS Paint, which is not a problem).
Windows systems are using the Canon Inkjet 4500 and Canon iP 4500 driver (manually installed). Printing images works with both drivers.
I searched for "SLPReg […] failed with status -20!" but found no helpful information.

Hi,
I can, unfortanetly, confirm this problem for me with a Brother HL-2030 and an HP Officejet 5600 series.

I am using Numbers app for the ipad and it has been working absolutely fine but now, when I want to email a spreadsheet as a PDF via the 'share and print' option, the file now doesn't appear as an attachment to the recipient. Any ideas please?

Hi mafiose15,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Restoring your iPod to factory settings is the best way to try and get it back to working order. You can use the instructions below to restore it:
How to restore iPod
Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
Click Restore.
If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
You can find the instructions in this article:
Restoring iPod to factory settings

All the best,

I am unable to print PDF's using either Adobe Reader or Safari. In Adobe Reader, I get an error message from my Cannon printer that says, "/usr.libexec/cups/filter/pstocupsraster failed". In Safari, I can only print the first page of a PDF.

To try to resolve this problem, I have done the following actions.
1 - I have run Disk Warrior.
2 - I have repaired permissions.
3 - I have deleted all plist that are either Cannon or Adobe.
4 - I have downloaded and installed the lastest versions of Adobe Reader and the Cannon printer drivers.
I am still unable to print PDF's.
In Safari, I can print only the first page. In a multipage PDF, Safari only seems to recognize the first page.
In Adobe Reader, I get an error message from my printer: "/usr/libexec/cups/filter/pstocupsraster failed".
Any help would be greatly appreicated!

Quit Safari.
Open the Library folder in your home folder as follows:
☞ If running OS X 10.7 or later, hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the Finder menu bar.
☞ If running an older version of OS X, select Go ▹ Go to Folder… from the Finder menu bar and copy the line below into the text box that opens:
~/Library
Delete the following items from the Library folder:
Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Preferences/com.apple.quicktime.plugin.preferences.plist
Preferences/QuickTime Preferences
Relaunch Safari and test.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Select "/var/log/cups/error_log" from the file list. Post the messages from the time of the last printing attempt.
Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.

[solved] Printing via Cups fails

Hello Community,
software:
extra/poppler 0.20.0-1 [installed]
extra/cups 1.5.3-4 [installed]
extra/cups-filters 1.0.18-2 [installed]
aur/cups-xerox 2008.01.21-1 [installed]
for some days I have some bad problems with my two printers (a dell and a xerox workcentre)
If I try to print a testpage via cups it ends with:
"/usr/lib/cups/filter/pdftops failed" on both printers.
Same with printing via libre office, but the dell gives me a: "/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip failed"
I already tried downgrading cups, cups-filters and poppler, no soloution, so any suggestions for me?
Regards
t4c

My hp p1005 just stopped working.I tried everything and got nothing.I was blacklisting hplip,as once hplip-plugin was missing from aur,and had small problems.
Now it looks like brick.
Could hplip-plugin be included in repos instead aur?
Edit : works again with new packages.

Printing solo PDFs via .BAT file

Hi all,
We have a current implementation of Oracle Documaker for our LOB. What we do is run a .BAT file that runs the GEN* brothers (gentnw32, gendaw32, and genptw32). This then uses the XML defined in the DATA segment of the fsisys INI file. This prints out multiple PDFs for us depending on the contents of the XML.
We have a new requirement that states that we need to be able to print a solo PDF using an XML file that is found in a different directory, with a different file name, say invoice1085.xml. Is there a way to do this? I cannot edit the current setup of the workspace since the batch process needs to stay.
We are using Documaker Studio Version 12.2.0.21451 Build Aug 8 2013. The workspace however was created with an older version (uses an MRL files rather than an ODBC connection)

Hi,
I need to pass the extract file name to the GEN Programs via JAVA. Also, my batch file only has the lines:
SET BASEDIR=%cd%
CD %BASEDIR%\DATA
Echo Y|Del *.* >NUL
cd..
gendaw32 /ini=fsiuser.ini
genptw32 /ini=fsiuser.ini
pause
del .\print\_*.pdf
del .\print\.pdf
pause
:Exit
Or
echo
gentnw32
pause
gendaw32
pause
genptw32
pause
I'm sorry. I'm not very familiar with creating .BAT files or executables. Would "set MYEXTRACT=%1" replace the "ExtrFile = INPUT\extrfile.xml" line in my fsisys.ini file? Or will it only stick for the current run? Thanks a lot. I'll try experimenting with your suggestion.
EDIT: I got it to work using your suggestion but instead of using "Extract = ~GETENV MYEXTRACT", I used "ExtrFile = ~GETENV MYEXTRACT". Thanks a bunch!

Can only print current page of a downloaded pdf via adobe reader

I can only print current page of a downloaded pdf via adobe reader. Any ideas? I'd like to be able to print "All".

You can use printPages(1, 5), however I need to know how you print current page.
