Printing Thru D-Link Print Server?

I have PC/Mac environment, and am having trouble with printing from my Mac. Both Macs are running latest OS X Leopard. Setup is:
Epson Stylus Photo R280
Canon Pixma IP90
D-Link DPR1260 Print Server
MacBook Air
New MacBook Pro 2.5
If I use the supplied Epson Driver, I cannot communicate with the printer
If I use the Mac supplied driver for the R260 model (same driver according to Epson), I cannot communicate with printer.
If I use the Mac supplied R260 Gutenprint v5.1.3, I can communicate and print a test page. But, the printer will not accurately reproduce photos. The photos come out with visible lines. How do I configure the Mac's to use the correct drivers.
Of course the PC's can print a photo with out issues. I am kinda new to Mac, but
have been working on PC's for quite a while.

The standard Epson drivers will not work when printing to a network printer. They will only work when the printer is directly connected to the Mac via USB.
You will need to use the Gutenprint drivers. There is a problem with OS X 10.5.x and the Gutenprint drivers that came with OS X 10.5.x. The printer driver defaults to Draft quality unless you select the resolution manually. This problem is fixed in later versions of Gutenprint. I would suggest that you download and install the latest version of the Gutenprint drivers v5.17 from _http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php3_. The v5.0.2 drivers will also work fine.

How to set up new MBP to use D-Link print server

New to Mac. MBP found 2 of my 3 printers right away. Tried manually configuring the 3rd which is an older HP Laserjet 1320 connected via USB to a D-Link print server. In Win you config using the IP address and port name. Configuration appeared to work but nothing gets sent to printer. If this is an easy fix I would like to go that route but if the print server hardware is too old please suggest good alternative that will work for both Windows and Mac systems as I have both in the house.
Thanks

I was able to resolve this by rebooting the print server.

Can I print report to a printer thru report server?

If I use a report server and run the application thru browser, can I print the report to a print thru report server? and How?

hello,
use DESTYPE=PRINTER to print directly to a printer. you have to set DESNAME to the name of the printer

D-link Print server

I have a Brother MFC 9700 Printer connected to a D-link print server. I am trying to add the printer to the IMAC. The print server name is ps-737aab and the printer is on port 1. Any suggestions on how to add the printer.

Check if your D-Link Print Server is compatible with the Linksys Routers...

PDF printing thru IPP?

Hello,
I have gone thru the below document on PDF printing options and could not find a way to print thru IPP printing. Is it possible to do it APEX? Are there any config/setup documents available?
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/configure_printing.html
By the way, I am using APEX 3.1.2. For some reasons, I could not use "Apache FOP" and only have XML Publisher for E-Business Suite -- reason on checking whether IPP printing would work.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.
Regards,
Rownald

There is nothing in APEX to allow you to print through IPP. I believe you are talking about sending print output programmatically to a "print server" (best guess at a generic term). You are NOT referring to the user going to File > Print in their browser and printing to a printer defined on their local PC, correct?
If those assumptions are correct, there is nothing built-into APEX to do this. Actually, there's nothing built into APEX to handle print output at all. For interactive printing, APEX is integrated with Oracle BI Publisher and Apache FOP in which it sends the data + a template to one of the servers and gets back a PDF. More details here. BI Publisher can also be configured to send output to pre-defined network printers without requiring the user to select or have any knowledge of the printer. I think that is what you are asking for.

How to issue print command from report/form server to client printer on web

1) We have a client server application which is to be deployed on the web environment. The reports generated in our application are having a destination type as File. These reports are printed after applying some print format (escape sequences) which are passed on to the printer programmatically at runtime while printing.
Now when this application is shifted on to the Application server (Forms server & Reports Server )in web environment ,the report outputs would be generated in the application server as against the client in client server environment as the report server is on the application server.
Now while printing/accessing the report the output file will not be available to the client unless it is pushed on to the client side from the server . I am able to see reports in pdf/html output but in this case layout of my reports gets changed and I dont want to change my layouts or reformat my report layouts.
How do I redirect the report output from the application server on to the client within the D2k context and then execute print commands?
Note: In this case we want to use both DMT and Laser printing. Also note that we use escape sequences to adjust reports in desired printing papers.
2) We have second set of reports which we call as document because these are printed after capturing data from 'Form' using text_io utility (please note that for these documents we are not using any Report 6i functionality)and we print it from file using printing mechanism as mentioned above. These are working well in client server application. We adopted this methodology for getting better performance (in terms of speed as database server and network traffic is not involved) of printing. But now we are converting our application for web, we are finding it difficult how to capture Form's data from browser to client's machine and then executing printing commands which are stored in our application liabrary.
If you help me out by giving some suggestions, I shall be grateful to you.

Hello
I wonder if you ever solved this problem.
I have a very similar problem with Photoshop CS5 on Mac OSX 10.6 + HP Photosmart C7180.
If I choose "Photoshop Manages Colors" the results are lousy.
If I choose "Printer Manages Colors" the results are OK. not necessarily great.
I believe I have all the correct settings after going through books and web advice (and wasted a lot of paper and ink).
As far as I can see, "ColorSync" is the internal Mac management which is the only option available with "Photoshop Manages Colors" and "Vendor Matching" appears to mean the printer vendor (ie HP) will provide the matching. Either can be selected if "Printer Manages Colors" is used. It seems the type of paper can be set in three different places. if That's all a bit academic as the results are poor regardless.
My wife suggests I buy a new printer - Epson's looking good.
Any words of wisdom would be appreciated.

Is there a way to create a "Print This Page" link?

I have a client who want to insert a print this page link that launches their print utility. Is this possible with Muse?

This is not a function of Muse. You'll need to use the 'insert arbitrary HTML' function to add this.
Here's where to get the javascript to insert.
Beware that Muse only produces a generic stylesheet and does not define its specific media type. That means that printing a Muse-generated web page or rendering a Muse website on a mobile device can be extremely messy. Elements may fall off of a page or may be sized oddly. The Muse showcase shows how the Horace and Lydia site falls apart in print. Elements appear broken and blank pages result.
Muse developers need to employ semantic markup so that users can design stylesheets for different media types. This topic is related to the frequent requests that Muse should be able to design for mobile devices. Muse just isn't smart enough to do what a professional designer would want.

WIndows 7 64-bit system printing to a Windows 2000 server configured as a print server

Is there any way to configure a new Windows 7 64-bit computer to use a Windows 2000 server configured as a print server ?
The printer that I would like to connect to is an HP 4240n LaserJet. I appears that there is only a 64-bit Universal Print Driver available. The server currently uses HP 32-bit PCL5e or PCL6 drivers for all other connected computers. Connection is through a Hewlett-Packard Network Port, using DLC/LLC transport for the embedded 4240n print server.
Installing the HP 64-bit UPD to the WIndows 7 64-bit system, and then attempting to redirect the local port to the Win2k network print server has not worked.
Thanks for any advice.

Hi:
See if this works...
Run msconfig.
In the System Configuration screen, Boot tab, Advanced Options, if there is a check mark in the box next to Maximum memory. Remove that checkmark and save your changes.
Reboot and hopefully Windows recognises all the Ram ( minus the reserved ) after restarting.
Please give that a try, and post back and let us know if that frees up some system memory for you.

Printing to a Windows print server on a domain

I work at a computer lab at my school and for a long while I don't think anyone has really researched this topic well enough.
We charge for print jobs based on username; whoever logs in get chraged for the prints they do. For windows machines this works perfectly fine, but for mac computers, if we set them up, they print directly to the printer and completely bypass the server, so for a long while our solution has been not letting the macs print. But now with Macs being more appealing for previous windows users people are getting more and more Macs. So my question is how can I set up a mac to print to our server, which is on a domain, and have it log who prints it by username?
I have searched around already and closest I'v come is on mac os x hints. Using advanced setup using the line smb://username:password@workgroup/computer/printer
Full instructions on:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20051204134420783
But the problem is that it is for a workgroup not for a domain, which is what we have. So if there is a way we could do this it would really make a ton of people here happy.

It may be meant to work on both a workgroup and domain but when I set it up this way it always gives an error reguarding the fact that it cant find the workgroup that was specified. I can try again and give the exact error I get but I've tried all different ways I could think of.
I'm not sure if this would have any effect on it but the passwords used always have a special character in them like the period or comma and such.
Another thing is Would the software used to manage the printers on the server have any effect on how a mac can communicate with it? Or would the server just take any printjob its given and channel it to the right place?

Server created print ques printing directly to the printer

I'm trying to enforce quotas as well as push out a global set of printers (i.e. not setup locally) I can do this no problem, but my managed macs always print directly to the printer, not via my server.
I'm installing the printers locally on my server (printing directly to the I.P of the printer, then the corresponding ques appear automatically in the print service under server admin. I assumed that print jobs would be automatically parsed via the print service ques, and thus be able to enforce quotas.

I'm attempting to setup the very same thing. I haven't gotten to try pushing the print ques to the managed clients via wgm yet, as I can't even seem to get the quota system working at all.
I can get the que setup on the server, then add the printer to the client. When i pause the que on the server, the client print jobs are being held correctly, but there is no evidence that the quota system is even starting up or functioning correctly.
I can find alot of people complaining about the quota system being broken in 10.3 and 10.4, but I can't find anyone talking about 10.5's printer quota system at all.

Officejet 6700 error while searching for updates: 'Printer could not connect to server'

I recently purchase the Officejet 6700 Premium. While setting the printer up, I received the error 'The printer could not connect to the server.' I first received this while the printer was searching for updates. I later received the same error while trying to set up ePrint from my computer.
The printer is connected through my wireless router. All other print services function normally. It is connected to the network, and I have printed several times over the wireless network.
Though I don't think it matters, since the on-board print set-up gave me the error, I run Windows 7 64-bit on my computer.
Thanks for any help!

What is the IP address of the printer? What is the make and model of the router that you use in the wireless set up? Is the router firmware up to date?
I would first try power cycling the router and the printer. Turn off/unplug the router and then power down the printer. Then plug the router back in and wait for it to be fully up and functioning before turning the printer back on. After you have both pieces of equipment back on and functioning attempt to connect to web services again.
If still having problems I would attempt to set a static DNS on the printer through the embedded web server (EWS) by entering the printer's IP address into the address bar of a browser on a computer.
Once that computer displays that page click on the Network tab.
Then look in the column to the left and find the Wireless section
Click on IPv4
Then on that page look at the 2nd section that is labeled DNS Address configuration
Change the radio button to the manual option
Then for the manual preferred fill it out and make sure it reads 8.8.8.8
Secondary should be set to 8.8.4.4
Then hit Apply
Read the next screen carefully. That message with the "OK" button below it is one that states to click that button to undo the changes you just made. Just navigate away from that page by clicking on another tab.
Then reattempt to connect to web services.

Printing problems using a print server

I am having trouble printing across my local network to some printers. This is a mixed wired and wireless LAN.Lan works fine as the windows machines print with no problems.
Printing takes place using a Trendnet TE 100-P21 Print Server. This box is connected to my network with a CAT6 cable. It has 2 USB and one Parallel port.
The Mac can print to the parallel printer with no problem. Installation was easy and painless. It found the other two printers (the USB ones) just as easily, installed drivers, etc. It even knows when they are idle or not.
_It can print to the HP 6L, which is the only one that has a parallel connection._ (I think that must be important)
_But it can’t print to the other two, both of which have USB connections._
Here are the Queue Names that the Mac reported. (In the below notations, P3 denotes the parallel printer port, U1 the first USB port, and U2 the second USB port on the print server.)
HP6L (parallel)
URL: dnssd://PS-700AED-P3._printer.tcp.local.
*Cannon i9900* (USB)
URL: dnssd://PS-700AED-U1._printer.tcp.local.
*HP ColorLaserJet 3500* (USB)
URL: dnssd://PS-700AED-U2._printer.tcp.local.
Windows machines on the network can print to all three printer with no problem, so we know printers, print server, network and cables work. When hooked up directly to the printer (at least the HP 3500) the Mac can print as well. But not when connected via the print server.
Eventually the job times out and the HP 3500 spits out a page that reads
PCL XL error
System: KERNEL
Error: IllegalTag
Operator: Vendor Unique
Position 8
Any thoughts?

I assure you that changing print server will not fix this issue. You MUST have a CUPS driver to print to a non-postscript, not-intended-for-network printer via the standard comm protocols available in OS X and on nearly all print servers. The Gutenprint drivers included by Apple are CUPS drivers, as opposed to the old Mac-style "monolithic" drivers.
* It is true that using a postscript driver to print to a postscript printer would work for the TrendNet as well as nearly All other print servers. Postscript is the native output (well, along with "packaged postscript" = PDF) of OS X, so a postscript driver IS A CUPS driver by default.
I hope this helps you avoid the hassle of buying another brand of print server, only to find out out it is the same.

Printing via Belkin Wireless Print Server

I am trying to setup my my mac so that it will print via my belkin wireless print server. I have been able to do this for my windows pc's but not with my mac.
Other threads on this forum have been able to get it working with other printers but I can't seem to make it work.
I'm using a HP Deskjet 6540 on a 802.11g network. The printer is connected to a Belkin Wireless Print Server (F1UP0001). I print when connected via USB but not via wireless. I've installed the HP drivers and the GIMP drivers but that hasnt worked. When I go to install the printer I choose IP Printer and give the ip address of the print server.
Any help would be much appreciated, if you need more infomation just ask.
Thank You,
mholmau

Your printer is a non-postscript printer and requires a CUPS driver in order to use the network printing protocols which are part of the CUPS system in OS X. Except for Brother, no manufacturer of non-postscript printers is providing CUPS drivers. The printer model doesn't show up because the OS X driver only works for USB. Apple tried to get around this by including open source Gimp-Print (CUPS) drivers with OS X. But very few HPs are supported. You should try HP Deskjet 900 Series, Gimp-Print driver to see if it "might" work.
For PPC Macs, there is another open source driver set that supports most HPs, including yours:
http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/hpijs/
But, these aren't Universal binaries, so they don't work on Intel Macs. The source code is available, and I think it will readily compile on your Mac, but I don't have an Intel Mac to try that on.
Next issue - print server setup. We don't have auto-setup software, so we have to read the manual closely and decide which protocol to use. If it's IPP (=internet printing protocol, not IP printing) or LPR/LPD, you need to find the print server's queue name (sometimes called port name), and enter that in Add printer dialog near IP address.
There are other ways to do network printing. The Airport Express print server from Apple allows you to use the USB driver because it uses Airport-Bonjour software to redirect USB output, instead of using standard protocols.
Hope this helps.

Printing a PDF document from a network printer hosted on Windows Print Server

Hi
We have a use case where a XFA form needs to be merged with the XML file and later be printed on a printer hosted on Windows Print Server.
While I know the first part of merging the template with the data file, I am stuggling to get my document printed.
Here are the options that I have already tried -
1) Used the generatePrintedOutput to render a flat PDF and convert it into a PS format.
2) The output of the above service was input to the "sendToPrinter" service with following configuration settings
    Input document     : <Document variable referencing to the output of the GeneratePrintedOutput service>
    Printer Protocol     : DirectIP
    Server URI            : \\ <IP address of the Print Server>     NOTE: The Print Server is hosted on a different domain & is a Windows Server
    Printer Name        : \\ <IP address of the Print Server>\<name of the printer>
Some more information about our LC servers -
OS -> Unix
Application Server -> JBoss
When I used these settings and invoked the process, I got the following exception -
2011-03-07 11:13:39,047 ERROR [com.adobe.livecycle.output.exception.OutputException] ALC-OUT-001-403: Could not connect to the DirectIP Server: \\<IP Address of the Printer Server>.

2011-03-07 11:13:39,069 ERROR [com.adobe.idp.workflow.dsc.invoker.WorkflowDSCInvoker] An exception was thrown with name com.adobe.livecycle.output.exception.OutputException message:com.adobe.livecycle.output.exception.OutputException: ALC-OUT-001-403: Could not connect to the DirectIP Server: \\<IP Address of the Printer Server>. while invoking service OutputService and operation sendToPrinter and no fault routes were found to be configured.
2011-03-07 11:13:39,079 ERROR [com.adobe.workflow.AWS] An exception was thrown with name com.adobe.livecycle.output.exception.OutputException message:com.adobe.livecycle.output.exception.OutputException: ALC-OUT-001-403: Could not connect to the DirectIP Server: \\<IP Address of the Printer Server>. while invoking service OutputService and operation sendToPrinter and no fault routes were found to be configured.
Therefore I tried to check if I am able to Ping the Printer Server from my Livecycle Server and found that the ping was successful.
Next - I changed the Printer Protocol from DirectIP to SharedPrinter keeping the rest of the settings same. In this case - when I invoke the process, it did not throw any error , but it did not print any document as well.
Any suggestion where I have gone wrong? Pls let me know if you would need more information to help me resolve this issue.
Thanks & Regards,
Priyank

Well I found the answer......
I had to do the two steps below -
1) Go to Admin UI, "Trust Store Management -> User & Password Credentials" and add a profile for my Printer server with login ID and password which can access the printer.
So in the "User & Password Crendentails" page, I click on "add" and fill the following values
Profile : \\ <IP address of the print server> ....... (It is important that you write the name correctly..for example " \\10.10.234.212"
USername : <user id who has access to the printer>
Password : <password for that user Id>
2) In the sendToPrinter service, I used CIFS as the protocol and I have the proper Server URI as below
\\10.10.234.212\<printername>
And it worked ! .....
