Printing Problem with Epson LX-300+ii and LX-310 in Windows Server 2012 R2 64-bit

I recently installed Windows Server 2012 R2 64-Bit.
We have Printer Epson LX-300+ii and LX-310 (dot-matrix) that we share among users. Each user access the Server using Remote Desktop. From previous experience with Windows Server 2008, I knew that these printers will be problematic, especially regarding
the Easy Print driver.
And I was right, using the Easy Print driver, I got the following result:
And so, I did manual mapping & disable the "Use Remote Desktop Easy Print printer driver first". Haha, what a surprise, I got the following result:
And so I uninstalled the printer driver, and install it again, thinking that I might chose a wrong driver, but.... same result. I know for sure that I chose the correct driver.
Next, I tried connecting the printer DIRECTLY to the server. Log-in to the Server directly,
not using Remote Desktop. And tried printing again, haha... really... what a surprise... I got the same problem here !!!
So now I know the problem is not the Easy Print driver, not mapping or registry problem either. It's the print driver. This is SUPER FRUSTRATING, I tried the same driver from the same CD in Windows 8.1 64-Bit with no problem. I tried it too in Windows 7
32-Bit with no-problem either. But somehow, this driver is problematic in Windows Server 2012 R2.
Any help? Anybody else bump into this same problem ? I'm close to giving up, been spending too much time figuring out this damn thing.

Hi Bulent Sahin,
Thank you for your reply, I tried IBM Graphics driver, but the result is equally as bad. But your answer inspire me to try different drivers. And so, the closest & best driver that I could use now is EPSON ESC/P 9pin V4 Class Driver
It's not as good as I would expect, but at least now, it's acceptable & readable. I can't believe that I'm the only one who have this problem
Thank you Mr. Sahin

Hi Agung,
Here is a way out for the issue you have submitted. I can't guarantee that this wayout work perfectly:
Question:
As we know that the dos matrix printer supports dos prompt and thus printing speed and
life of the printing head is comparatively more than what we print the same in graphical format.
So when I tried to print from SAP Bone in dot matrix printer, the printing speed is very slow and quality of printout is not good enough.
Any clarifications on this regard would prove very helpful to me.

Solution:
Do you use one of this printer types:
Dot Matrix, Printer, Needle Printer, Citizen ProDot 300 , Oki Microline, Epson FX880, Epson FX890 ?
Here the stepwise I have tried :
In order to print using Dot Matrix printers, follow the below
instructions:
1. Run SAP Business One.
2. Click the upper menu 'File' and select 'Page Setup'.
3. The Print Setup window opens. Under 'Paper', in the field 'Size', select 'Letter' from the drop down menu.
4. Click OK to confirm your selection.
5. On your desktop, click Start => Settings => Printers.
6. Right click on the required Dot Matrix printer and select 'Printing Preferences...'.
7. Click the 'Paper/Quality' tab page and click the 'Advanced' pushbutton.
8. Under'Paper/Output'=> 'Paper Size', click on the underlined paper size(e.g. A4) and select 'Letter' from the drop down menu.
Note that if you leave the value 'A4', each page will be spreaded over 2 pages when printing using Dot Matrix printers.
9. Under 'Graphic'=> 'Print Quality', click on the underlined value (e.g. 230X250 dots per inch) and select '120X144 dots per inch' from thedrop down menu.
Note that in case the value '120X144' is not available you should select a similar value from the list.
I did not test it yet and I am not so sure about the result but you could test it.

Printing problem with Photoshop CS 6 extended and HP printer

Hi all, long time browser, first time poster.
This is a weird issue, it should be noted from the first that I only have weird computer issues. I work at a technical High School where we have the whole Adobe CS6 Extended suite installed. We are running it under a fully patched version of Windows 7 and all the CS6 updates have been applied on 25 machines that all have the same issue. The problem is that when the students go to print to our HP Color Laser jet CP6015DN, the job can been seen loading into the queue, it races up to about 45MB, then sort of strolls to load the rest of the document, usually about 59 to 75 MB's in size. Then I watch the message go to processing, the front panel of the printer says processing, then the print job disappears from the printer queue and the printer and there is no print out. I printed out the usage job log and it shows none of the failed attempts to print and I check the event log page which does not show the errors either.
Looks like a bad printer driver, right? So I download the new HP Universal printer driver, I normally do not do the Universal driver route as so many of my older printers have problems with it, but the CP6015DN seems to have trouble accessing the extended tray 5 with the specific drivers, but I have the same printing issue with the new Universal driver and the PS driver. So I wander through the HP manual and it suggests using profiles to print to the printer and move the color handling from Printer Manages Colors to Photoshop manages colors and I track down the ICC profiles for the printer on the HP site as the link in the book is dead, so try the CP6015srgb_d50.icc, CP6015_cmyk_d50.icc and CP6015.icc, I try all of these profiles with the newest PS printer driver and the same error, goes to the printer and into the bit bucket. Still no printout or error message.
Strange thing is that if I do a test print, it prints fine, if I open a tif file in Photoshop, it prints fine, now the teacher says if they print to the Xeorx 7760 in the next room, it also prints out fine. It should be noted that we had so many issues with configuring the Xerox and adjusting controls it was the reason we purchased a HP proofing printer in the first place. But the next door lab is all Apple, which doesn't seem to have this issue. So I open the test document and save it as a PDF file instead the native Photoshop format, and it prints fine, which from what I've been reading on the internet may be the preferred way of printing proofs, I don't know, I've never really used Photoshop, but the teacher says this isn't an acceptable fix and the students should be expected to manage a number of revisions saved to PDF format, me I just go up a number at the end of the file name for every correction when editing documents.
Any suggestions you have would be appreciated.
Windows 7 X64
Photoshop version 13.0.1 x64
HP Color Laserjet CP6015 DN model number Q3932A
Dell Optiplex 980 i5-650, 3.2Ghz, 8 GB RAM.

Yes, Photoshop is up to date at Version 13.0.6. I have even gone so far as to uninstall CS 6 and put CS 5 back on and still the same thing. This is really frustrating, the people at Canon try to be helpful but wind up saying it's an Adobe problem and of course you can't talk to real people anymore about CS 6. My research on the Internet has turned up nothing so I'm stuck.

Problems PXE booting Gen 2 Virtual Machines after Upgrading to Windows Server 2012 R2

My Current Setup:
I have two virtual machines set up with Hyper V on my Windows Server 2012 Server.
VM1: Configured to boot from an ISO file and runs Clonezilla server.
VM2: Configured to PXE boot using a legacy network adapter, and with a passthrough 250Gb hard disk.
These two VMs are connected to an external Virtual Switch, which allows physical machines to PXE boot to the Clonezilla server.
For the past few months I have been using this setup for two purposes:
1. To clone physical machines to the Clonezilla virtual server (as a backup).
2. To restore those image to the second VM if I find that need to get access to the files on the original image..
This has worked perfectly, except for the fact that the speed of the legacy network adapter on the second VM (which is required to PXE boot) is very slow. But I know this is because of the limitations in how the legacy adapter works...
Now my problem:
I found out that Gen 2 VMs allow you to PXE boot without having use a legacy network adapter, allowing me to image back to the VM faster. So I upgraded the Server to Server 2012 R2 . I then created the same two virtual machines on the R2 server. I can still
PXE boot the Gen 1 VM to the Clonezilla Server but I cannot get the Gen 2 VMs to PXE boot properly. They get an IP address from the Clonezilla Server but then just stop with the following screen. (note: I have disabled the Secure Boot).
Are Gen 2 VMs unable to pull down images from anything other than a WDS Server?

Hi,
Am testing SCCM 2012 R2 in virtual environment. To handle Windows 8 clients, need to install KB2734608 update, which is failing.
Not able to install WSUS Updates KB720211 x64 too. The server is on Windows Server Standard 2012 R2 x64.
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi,
Agree with Michael. KB2734608 is applied to the WSUS 3.0 SP2. If we install the WSUS on Windows Server 2012 or later, the version of the WSUS becomes to v6.

Printing problem with Epson R290 Illustrator and inDesign

I am running CS2 on Leopard and have recently purchased an Epson R290. The first time I used it with Illustrator and InDesign it worked fine but now whenever I print anything it prints a tiny version (about a sixth of the real size) of the design in the top left corner of the page. It does this both with new documents and old ones that used to print ok.

Since I posted the message about this problem I have discovered that it can be worked around by choosing a higher quality print. ie if you choose plain paper when printing from Illustrator or InDesign the printer prints a reduced size image but if you choose Ink jet mat or glossy the print comes out fine. I don't have this problem with Photoshop but that may be that I always print high quality from that application. I don't use Appleworks Draw so don't know whether this solves the problem for that application but iWork documents print ok.

PSE 9 printing problem with Epson printer

hello there,
I am using PSE 9 with Windows XP and Epson 3880 printer. I have re-installed all programs/drivers a couple of times. PSE9 Printer dialogue will not let me print choosing "Let Photoshop Manage Colour". It will only let me print with "Let Printer Manage Colour". I am using Epson papers.
When I select "Let Photoshop Manage Colour", a box appears saying "ICC profile no longer available" and it won't let me print. Is this a PSE 9 problem or an Epson problem?
thanks !!!

Well, I actually found the answer. I spoke to an Epson Rep!
I used to have the Epson 2200 printer, then the Epson 3800, and now I use the 3880 printer on Windows XP and Windows 7 on my laptop.
When you uninstall the other 2 printers, the color profiles are still in your program files and can become corrupted.
This is why, in PSE 9, when I checked the box Let Photoshop Elements Manage Colour, it woildn`t print and instead there was the pop-up box ``ICC profile no longer available`` because it was trying to access the old paper profiles and not the ones that came with the 3880. I use Epson papers, by the way.
The solution was to go into C-Drive, Program Files, System 32, spool,drivers, colour, and this opens to the ICC profiles used by the printer. Then I deleted the old paper profiles associated with my former printers.
And it worked !!

It is a printer configuration,switch of the printer and then press and hold the "online button" and switch on the printer,then the printer will go into the printer settings mode,which will give u the current setting and the procedure to change the setting,you change the page length to your required length and print your output.
Try this it works for me.

Printing Problem with Epson R320 (Print CD)

Problem: I cannot print using Print CD with a new Epson Stylus Photo R320, however I can print from applications using the gimp beta driver provided in OS software, via <Print Using> dialogue box.
Power Mac G4 dual 450, running 10.4.6.
After phoning Epson, I downloaded the needed driver from Epson and went through the installation process with an Epson tech. However I cannot seem to access this driver in the print utility. The Printer Setup Utility is forcing me to choose a “gimp” driver. Some discussions on this site suggest choosing just Epson usb—the question is how with the way the dialogue boxes are configured in Printer Setup Utility. The problem seems to be I am unable to access the driver through the <Print Using> menu in the utility. If I select more printers, (after highlighting the R320) this causes the print utility to crash.
I have repaired permissions, reset the printer setup, uninstalled, reinstalled; actually I have done everything I could find to do. The problem seems so simple. I easily created my CD label; now I would just like to print it!! Any ideas from all the pros on this list. Thank you.

I have an Epson R320 and have communication problems.You start the job and after about 5 seconds you get a ! in the dock on the printer icon and on opening you see "job stopped".
I am no expert but it seems to me that the program e.g.MYOB accounting fails to pass the data to OSX.
If I de install and reinstall the epson drivers and repair permission it will work ...but then the next day on re-booting we are back to the same state of not working.
I have informed Epson and am waiting for a reply. The epson printer tests and standalone mode works. OSX problem?

Printing problem with Epson photo 2200

I have a Powerbook G4 running the most recent version of OSX. I can no longer print to my Epson Photo 2200. When I try and print the Printer window pops up, and the job automatically stops without printing.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the 2200 driver, I have hooked up a Canon printer to the powerbook (and this printer works fine with the powerbook), I have printed a test sheet on the 2200 (which is done without a connection to the Powerbook and it printed fine). The problem lies in the computer printer connection (I am using USB for the link).
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

I had a similar problem with a Epson Stylus Photo R800. The printer would not print Word docs or DVD media using the most updated software from Epson. After going through two printers I paid a consultant to come in on a Saturday night who told me that communication errors between Epson printers and current versions of the MacOS are encountered every day in his business. And neither Apple or Epson address the issue directly.
To get the Stylus Photo R800 to work we had to reconfigure the driver to deal with Manual Feeding of documents and DVDs. It took about an hour of experimentation but once done...with no help from Apple or Epson...the printer did work very well. However, the Epson Print CD software is a total bust. We found a third party solution called DiscLabel that allowed us to print DVDs with the reconfigured driver. I'm disgusted with both Apple and Epson because Epson sells printer with the promise that it will work with the MacOS when three hours of struggle with useless software proved otherwise.
If others have a better experience or know of simple solutions to the Epson Print CD problem please post them.
Thanks in advance for tolerating my rant.

Elements 9 printing problems with epson 3880

HI All:
Elements was working fine with epson 3880.
Problems developed:
1. Would print color pics in black and white only while in Editor; color pics printed ok in Organizer
2. Now Print Preview does not work in either Editor or Organizer
3. Now cannot print in either Editor or Organizer
I purchased Elements online. I do not have a CD for reinstall.
Any help would be appreciated.

I am having a similar problem that seems the reverse of yours in a way, though it may be related. Mine occurred only with the disk-installed version, not the downloaded trial version, and it was present from the start on my iMac. Everything worked fine with the 3880 and 2400 printing from the trial version of PSE9 (downloaded), just as it had with PSE8. CS5 and Apple Aperture are also installed and had been working normally. Then I received the install disk for PSE9 and installed it. After that, Preview did not produce a preview, PDF did not produce a PDF, and Print did not produce a print. CS5 also would not preview or print after that. Aperture, however, was unaffected. Some experimentation revealed that the problem occurred only with "Photoshop Elements Manages Color" selected and printer color management turned off. With "Printer Manages Color" selected, it printed.
I uninstalled both CS5 and PSE9 and reinstalled 8, which once again worked properly. Hoping there had been an install error as the cause of the problem with the original installation of 9, I then uninstalled 8 and reinstalled 9, and the problem recurred. So it's back to PSE8, and try to figure out how to call the problem to Adobe's attention without paying for a tech support session. Interesting that a glitch that causes a problem with PSE's printing can also affect PS's printing.
I suspect your problem is related to mine. Do you use a Mac? I think the reason the problem didn't occur at first with my system is that the trial installation is not the same as the paid one, if only because the trial version doesn't have the user sign up with Photoshop.com or whatever it is, which I had never done until I installed 9 from the disk. So it seems that something in the full, purchased version is causing the glitch. I have no idea why your version should have worked at first, then crumped.
Two more things I'm going to do now: reinstall CS5 on the iMac (should be OK, as it was before I got 9), and install 9 on my laptop to see what happens.
My advice for now is to download the trial version of 9, uninstall the current installation of 9, install the downloaded trial version, and (without entering the serial # from your downloaded version) see if it works properly. Then contact tech support. Especially if you have a Mac, tell them you have heard from others who have related the same problem to you.

Printing problems with Epson RX420

I have an Epson RX420 and every time I try to print to it from Aperture I get horrible colours, and the image looks like its been through some sort of processing that's sucked out some of the detail. Its always been like that since I got my iMac, running on both Tiger and now Leopard. My solution has been to export files as JPEG, email them to a Windows laptop and then print on that from Photoshop Elements to the same printer. That works fine, so its not the printer.
I've posted an example of it to Flickr
http://www.flickr.com/photos/khaosproductions/sets/72157622094258487/
with the original image, and then a scan of the prints of it from Aperture and a Windows machine.
I've tried to get new drivers, and am currently using the latest Gutenprint drivers to print, but it doesn't help.
Does anyone have any ideas? Anyone successfully printed from Aperture to an RX420? Or should I bin it and buy a new printer?
Thanks in advance
David

I managed to find some new drivers for it which I couldn't find on the Epson site in previous visits:

Wireless printing problems with Asus router RT-N56U and HP8500

Neew MacBookPro with Lion. Also have HP 8500a 909a printer hooked up to an Asus router RT-N56U Google search indicates MANY problems with HP printers being used with wireless Mac, even with Airport. Of course we know HP is one of the worse customer support companies on earth,, so I came here in hopes to find a solution. I updated my mac and firmware for router. The Mac doesn't find any printers wirelessly at all. If I hook up with a cable it works fine.. Thanks

I own the RT-N56U (best router on the market hands-down), along with an HP LaserJet 1320, however it's connected via USB to my computer instead of the router. While it's true that HP don't have a terrific support record for Mac drivers in fairness it may be the Asus router causing the problem; if you Google "Asus RT-N56U" and "mac os x print server", you'll find complaints similar to yours from other users. From what I understand this is partly dependent on your printer and whether it supports network printing, and partly on compliance with the Asus router firmware. I Googled what appears to be a possible solution to configuring the Asus print server, however I haven't yet tested this myself:
