Printing Report W/o Form Feed

I want to stop the printer as soon as my report(6x) finished using dot matrix (i.e Epson LX 300).
null

To suppress the Parameter Form and have the report assign a default value to DESTYPE, do either of the following:
1) In forms: Create a list parameter to explicitly pass the values of DESTYPE and PARAMFORM.
2) In reports: In the Preferences dialog box (EditPreferences), on the Runtime Settings page, clear the Parameter Form check box to specify a value of No for the PARAMFORM keyw
I hope this helps...

HP P1606dn network printer spools jobs but won't print without a "form feed"

I recently changed by HP P1606dn printer from a USB connection to my HP desktop running Windows 7 (64bit) to a network connection. The objective was to allow my Mac (OS 10.6.8) to print to this printers as well via the network.
When I first installed the printer it worked fine. Then I installed the HP drivers on the Mac, and it too worked fine and continues to work fine. However, my Windows 8 desktop stopped printing. It appears to spool the print jobs correctly and they show up in the queue as actively printing. However, the only way to get them out is to go over to the printer and press the "form feed" button (button showing page with down arrow). Then the HP test page will come out followed by the desired print job.
I've tried disabling "bi-directional support" in the "ports" tab under "printer properties" but that did not help.
Any helpful advice appreciated!
Brent

Did you connect the USB cable when doing the firmware update?

Printing via Airport Express: Missing Final Form Feed

Maybe a guru could help with this one...
Spooling a print job from an iMac G5 to an HP Photosmart 7150 that is connected to the Airport Express USB port...
The job prints fine but I don't get a FINAL FORMFEED after the last page has printed. I have to manually eject...
The iMac has the latest OS Update (10.4.2) and all the drivers for system software (including Airport 4.2 for Mac OS X 10.4.2). The printer driver is from HP's support site - version 2.5.6 (August 2005) for Mac OX X v10.2, 10.3 & 10.4.
Note: the printer works fine (final form feed & all) when you have it attached directly to the iMac.

Hi Ian and welcome to the Discussions.
According to HP the PhotoSmart 7150 is not compatible with the Airport base station, which implies that it will not work across a network when connected to an Airport Express as it would when directly connected.
It may work as you want with a third-party driver such as the HPIJS drivers and the process outlined here: http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/1300.html

Print form feed \f escape sequence in labview 7.0

I have a large string that I am trying to print that contains a form feed (\f) as defined in the LabView documentaiton. What I get is a little square where the \f should be and no new page. What am I doing wrong?
Steve

Hey Steve,
To where are you trying to print your string? LV front panel string control?....or to some external device?
I would check and make sure your string controls/indicators are in code/normal mode. You can do this by right-clicking on the control/indicator...(codes and normal are two of the options)
Set in codes mode for the \f to be interpreted as a form feed. On the other end, normal mode, should perform the form feed.
Let me know if this helps/works,
Brett

How to suppress extra form feed for character report printing using ORARRP?

Dear All,
We are using Oracle Application Server 10g (10.1.2.0.2) on Windows 2003 Server and most of our client PC's are Windows XP Professional machines. We are migrating our existing oracle application from 2-tier architecture to 3-tier architecture (6i to 10g). We have installed ORARRP utility for remote direct printing and to a limited extent we are successfull in getting the things work out for our system users, However, we are facing a problem using the ORARRP utility for which we are not able to find a solution till date.
We have configured ORARRP utility on every user's PC and the printing of bitmap reports is working well. However, while printing CHARACTER reports using ORARRP utility, after the report gets printed, an EXTRA FORM FEED is issued by ORARRP to the printer and because of this the printer stationary skips one extra page and advances to the next page. Please note that this EXTRA FORM FEED happens only while printing a CHARACTER REPORT.
Has anyone come across such a problem using ORARRP ? How can we avoid this extra FORM FEED from CHARACTER REPORT printing using ORARRP ? Is there any other tool which supports remote direct printing just like ORARRP?
I shall be highly obliged if anyone could reply to my queries ASAP.
Regards,
KrishnaKumar S

Please help ! I tried the "send_form_feed" and "postscript_dos_print" parameters without success. The extra form feed is always there. Thanks.

Report Called from FORMS having Printing Problem

Hi all
Guys i have a report problem in reports 6i.
I am calling a report from my FORM 6i directly to printer (a dot matrix printer).
I have set
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'DesType',TEXT_PARAMETER,'printer');
The report is actually a confirmation report and i have given its layout height equal to 3.7 . But when i send it to printer it ejects the paper equal to 11 (equal to height of a portarait report).
How can manage this ejection from Form or Report Side.
NOTE : This problem occurs even if print the report from report preview(means not printed directlty from FORM).
Kindly help me with this if any.
I need it urgent.
Thanx.

Hello All
The furthur detail to my previous problem is given as follows:
I am getting problem
with the Oracle reports. I have a dot matrix printer (Epson LQ-300, which is a
tractor feed printer). While printing a report which is always not more than half a
page, the printer does not stop after printing the report(the half page). It stops at
the end of the page. I mean that half the page is printed and the rest half is blank.
I want that the printer should print only at half a page. On the blank half it should
print another copy of same report.
Regards,
Qaiser Qayyum Malik.

Filter print job - remove form feed

I've configured an iPrint printer to accept LPR print jobs. One of our old
programs always starts each print job with a page eject (form feed).
Is there a simple way to intercept the print stream and if it starts with a
page eject, remove or null it that byte?

Automatic Form Feed - Epson LQ - 2180 printer to R12 in Solaris Environment

Hi
We are adding a new Epson dot matrix [ Impact] Printer to our system. [Epson LQ - 2180]
Server OS: Sun OS sun4v sparc SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise-T5120
R12 Version: 12.1.3
This is a network printer. This has been added to the printer server via root. We have configured the Printer in the Front end also via Install -=-> Printer in System Administrator REsponsibility.
Our goal is to print three programs serially one after the other at a time. The paper input feed is continuous sheet.
When we print from normal windows applications like notepad and MS-word, the page feed / form feed automatically gets set after each request. So that each request gets started in a New page. But this is not the case when we try to do the same from EBS.
Is there any special setting / value that we need to set in the Printer Drivers like Arguments, Initialization and reset.
We referred the printer manual but could not find any specific command or value to be set for Solaris.
Your help is very much appreciated.
thanks

Please see if below metalink note helps you:-

Print report from form 9i

Hi All,
How do I print a report from a form? I have users wanting to print a report by pressing a button. They do not wish to see the report, but to print it directly to their default printer. I do not want to give any printer name, but rather form print to the default printer.
Any help is appreciated.
My environment is

Forms: 9i
Reports: 9i
Thanks

How to print BIP reports from Oracle Forms?

Hi all,
I have a question in regards to printing BIP reports from Oracle Forms... We are aiming for a server installation of BIP with integration to Oracle Forms using SSO to handle security. We use Forms built-in web.show_document to render and view the report in PDF/Excel etc... We would like to by pass the viewing and print some of these reports directly to the printer.
Any idea/suggestions how we can go about this?
Thanks in advance for your time.
Yahya

Yahya,
via HTTP it's not possible to send a report directly to the printer. You had to go via the Scheduler, which is able to do that. With the WebService API you can call a report with the Scheduler and Execute Immediate.

Printing Reports directly from to a printer via 10g forms (Linux)

Hi all,
I need to be able to print Reports directly from a form to a printer (bypassing the form output) on Linux (RHEL 5). The trick here is this is Linux, not windows so, wasn't sure how to deal with printers in this case.
I have the option working where I can run a report and set the options to "Cache" and PDF and it displays my outputted report directly in a new browser window w.
I use the SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY, RUN_REPORT_OBJECT, and WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT properly for the PDF in a window.
a.) I want to send them directly to a printer, preferably to a user's default printer on their PC, bypassing the output screen. How can I accomplish this?
b.) I also would like the ability to generate a PDF (bypassing the output on a browser window) and put the form in a specified directory on a client's PC (which is what I used in 6i Client/Server). I believe I need to utilitize the WebUtil to allow this to happen. Otherwise, I'm thinking I just build a queue for the user on the Linux server and build a screen that shows all the reports they've generated for the past X amount of days and let them open them up and print from there.
Any help (particulary for Part A) would be very beneficial.
Chris

1)
if your app server is on a Linux server, for direct printing to work, the printer must be setup and accessible under Linux server using system-config-printer command, for PDF printout you probably want a postscript option checked
if you print to screen (PDF) and then use print option then your windows client machine must have access to the printer
2)
you must pass this printer name as part of the report parameters.
set_report_object_property(oRptObj, report_destype, Printer);
and
hidden_action := hidden_action ||'&report='|| cRptSrcFile; -- source of report program to call
hidden_action := hidden_action ||'&destype='|| cDesType;
hope this helps

Problem with printing oracle 9i report from my form

i got some problem in printing my report in PDF format. i am printing the report from
my form as mentioned below. the report is printing but its giving a message

web.show_document part then i didn't get that error.
what is reason for this and how can i rectify it?

hello,
there are two ways to do this :
1) submit two jobs, one that prints and one that creates the PDF
2) use reports advanced distribution to print and create a PDF file on the server as part of the same job, and then use web.show_document to bring up the PDF in the browser.
however, this brings up the question, why exactly you want to print and display at the same time. why not display it and let the user print form Acrobat Reader.
thanks,
ph.
