Retrieving detailed printer configuration

Hi, I have installed on my macbook a printer physically connected to a linux machine and shared over samba. I have understood how to enter all the configuration parameters (IP address, user, etc), but I cannot find any way to retrieve this information if I want to change it.
For example if I enter a wrong IP address and I want later to change it, I found no other way but removing the printer from the list and adding a new one. Any help is appreciated.
Another question: is there any way to access printer configuration apart from the graphical interface? (for example like in linux where it is always possible to manually edit configuration files)
Thanks

You can make IP address changes using the CUPS web
interface (just like in modern linux):
http://localhost:631
(you can probably use the command line lpadmin, too,
just like in linux, but I don't use that.)
Very cool information to have. Do you happen to know where I would find the username and password needed in order to configure a printer?
Thanks,
Frank

    New info : Hi Oracle Support,
    I found that the ORARRP works fine and submits report to the Printer if the
    printer is defined through Novell Netware Network.
    But if the same printer is defined through I.P address directly as a local
    Printer it doesn't work. ( Add new port , Standard TCP/IP port method in
    Windows 2000).
    Does it give us any clue to solve this issue ?.

    Hi,
    My understanding is that you where trying to print using ORARRP utility on the web
    Since you are trying on an muti-tiered server(that is web is 3-tier)
    by default this report will be printed out to the default printer assigned to
    the application server machine , NOT to the client machines default
    printer.
    For example,
    Machine 1 - the application server machine
    Machine 2 - the client machine
    Machine 2 submits a request to run a report to the multi-tier server with
    DESTYPE set to PRINTER; DESNAME is left blank.
    Printing will be on the default printer of Machine 1(Application server)
    and not on Machine 2(Client PC)
    If I am wrong inmy understanding, please eloborate
    Best rehards

    New info : A Big No. We are running the 10.7 version of Oracle applications and
    there is no middle tier per se.
    All we have done is to define a new printer called "LOCAL_PRINTER" and when
    users select this printer the initiaization string which the Print command
    sends to the printer before sending the file gets added to the output file and
    the output file is stored in a directory which is accessible through a web
    server.
    Users invoke the browser and point to the website where the output files are
    avaiable. and then click on their request ids. Since the extension of the file
    is .rrpt the ORARRP utility brings the Printer dialog where we have select the
    printer.
    This setup was working sucessfully till so far. ( Past 1 year).
    Now it suddenly didn't work for a user's printer which was connected to her PC.
    Since I had windows 2000 on my laptop and I tried the same and found that the I
    select a PC which is defined through I.P Address then it is not working. But
    if I select the same printer defined through Novell Netware it is working.
    Please let me know if you are getting the picture. if not may be we can do a
    webex session or something like that.

    Hi Radhakrishnan,
    ORARRP doesn't actually do any printing itself. Via COM/Active-X, it calls the appropriate program that corresponds to the type of output, and then this program does the actual printing. For PDF, it calls Acrobat Reader to print the document. Acrobat Reader displays the printer dialog to let you choose which printer to use, and then when you click OK, Acrobat Reader prints the document and sends it to the printer.
    I expect that you'll find that when you use Acrobat Reader yourself on this machine it has exactly the same problems with this particular printer configuration. If so, you'll need to contact Adobe for further assistance.

  • WAD : Result set is too large; data retrieval restricted by configuration

    Hi All,
    When trying to execute the web template by giving less restiction we are getting the below error :
    Result set is too large; data retrieval restricted by configuration
    Result set too large (758992 cells); data retrieval restricted by configuration (maximum = 500000 cells)
    But when we try to increase the number of restictions it is giving output. For example if we give fiscal period, company code ann Brand we are able to get output. But if we give fical period alone it it throwing the above error.
    Note : We are in SP18.
    Whether do we need to change some setting in configuration? If we yes where do we need to change or what else we need to do to remove this error
    Regards
    Karthik

    Hi Karthik,
    the standard setting for web templates is to display a maximum amount of 50.000 cells. The less you restrict your query the more data will be displayed in the report. If you want to display more than 50.000 cells the template will not be executed correctly.
    In general it is advisable to restrict the query as much as possible. The more data you display the worse your performance will be. If you have to display more data and you execute the query from query designer or if you use the standard template you can individually set the maximum amount of cells. This is described over  [here|Re: Bex Web 7.0 cells overflow].
    However I do not know if (and how) you can set the maximum amount of cells differently as a default setting for your template. This should be possible somehow I think, if you find a solution for this please let us know.

  • How to avoid print configuration screen

    Hi everybody,
    I'm executing a program which has to print two smartforms, one followed by the other, but I don't want the printing configuration screen before printing each one, I want it only to appear in the first one and then inherit printing parameters in the next smartform and avoid the screen.
    How can I do this? I think that is by using output_options parameter but I don't know exactly how.
    Many thanks,
    Cristina.

    hi,
    I understand that you have your own program that triggers both Smartforms, one after the other, right?
    Try this:
    In your program trigger the first smartform (and have the print config screen popup)
    WITHIN that smartform you trigger the second Smartform and suppress the the config screen.
    Since the output options are know at this point you can pass them to the second smartform.
    I hope it helps,

    Hi Joakins,
    I think Lloyd has a point here in that all I see there which is really database related is a connection string.
    Maybe your question is more general though and you're just asking how to work with a database as a general principle.
    Personally, I like entity framework and would recommend that.
    You can read a shed load of stuff about it.

  • Is there any best practice for printer configuration for test environment?

    My Oracle ebs test environment has a scheduled refresh period where it will be refreshed with production test data and configuration time to time for BA, Dev to work on their enhancement.
    However, all the printer configurations are still pointing to production ones after refreshed, which means whenever there is a testing on-going, the doc / label / invoices will be printed to production printer.
    May I know if there is a way to globally change all the printer setup for the test environment, so that nothing will be directly to production?... Please assist.
    (currently, the only way is to change one by one and only if you are aware of it...)
    In case your organization has any other strategy on this matter, pls share also... Thanks a lot.

  • Disabling shipping details for configurator model item in istore.

    Hi all,
    I am working in istore implementation process in R12. I got some Issues while using using Configurator ATO model item in istore. If we disable the"Shippable" flag for single item means, it was "NON-Shippable" item, And we never get any shipping information in istore.
    This process is working fine in istore , for using  single items.
    But the same process is not working for configurable model in istore.
    For this process i disabled all configurator model sub-items "shippable" flag, And all are non_shippable
    But when i configure ATO model in istore i got all shipping details. +(Like shipping page, shipping address, etc).+
    Could you please help me on this, how to avoid shipping details for configurator item in istore.
    Please help..
    Thanks,
    Prab.

    Please check the table ASO_SHIPMENTS
    It stores shipping information for a quote at header level or line level. At header level means the shipping information is the same for all the quote lines, therefore the quote_line_id is null. At line level means each line has its own shipping information. At line level, it can further break down at line quantity level if the quantity in ASO_SHIPMENTS is different than in ASO_QUOTE_LINES_ALL.
    Please check the above table and see which live is having the details in it. This way u can narrow down the issue,
    Thanks

    In general use a property node with nothing attached to it in LabVIEW with the property Printing >> Default Printer or Printing >> Avalaible Printers to return the printers configured with Windows. One of these string items can be wired into the printer input of the report generation Print Report VI to select a printer.
    In regards to the Microsoft Common Dialog 6.0 ActiveX controls, the printer selection from the dialog seems to be determined by the hDC output, which stands for hardware device context. If you modify the demo posted above to send in the appropriate flag value, either an informational or a direct hardware device context handle is returned in the ICommon property hDC. Input the flag value 512 to the ICommonDialog property Flags to return an hardware device context handle from the hDC property, or 1024 to return an informational device context.
    More information about how to extract any meaningful information from this I32 number can doubtlessly be found at msdn.com, but I'm not sure personally how to do it. Specifically, here are a few posts to start your search at:

    Alternatively, consider avoiding the Common Dialog Control calling a dll that will directly return the selected printer name from a dialog:

    I am having problems with a Master-Detail Form not retrieving Detail Rows. Sometimes it retrieves all, sometimes about 50%, the majority of the time it's not retrieving any. If it never retrieved any I would suspect that the 'join' condition was wrong but that isn't the case. I didn't have this problem with a prior MD Form I created. I have tried re-creating the MD Form but I get the same problem.
    Is anyone having similar problems/is this a know bug??
