Right dot matrix printer?

After doing some searching, I just want to make sure I have a handle on this before purchasing anything.
If I want to run a dot matrix printer on an ibook running 10.3.9 can I just use gutenprint with whatever printer I can buy cheap on their supported list? And then just use a converter cable if necessary? Will that have me covered?
I've also seen references to some converter cables working better than others? Will there be any software associated with using a usb/parallel converter that I need to know about?
I actually tried making the switch years ago, but all the techno jargon made my brain bleed. Things seem to have improved a little since then.

Problem printing on dot-matrix printer with continuous paper

Post Author: kdebruyckere
CA Forum: .NET
Hi,
We're currently developping an .net application for a customer of ours in VS2005 (c#). I used crystal reports for VS2005 to create an invoice.
The invoices have to be printed on a dot-matrix printer with continuous paper (Brother M-4318). When an invoice is only one page long, there's no problem. Even when printing several sigle-page invoices after another, all goes fine. The problem occurs when an invoice is more then one page longe. The first page comes out correctly, but on the following pages everything moves ca. 3 mm upwards (3 mm on the second page, 6 mm on the third page, and so on...). On the report 'Design > Printer Setup', I selected the right printer, the right paper size, ... On the report there's a page header (consisting of two sections), and there's a page footer that is only printed on the last page, but there are no report header and no report footer.
I can not figure out what seems to be the problem. Has anyone else had this or a similar problem before? If so, please let me know. Any suggestions are welcome.
thx

Continuous paper is a little bit longer than normal A4 paper. I found only one way to set it: ReportDocument.PrintOptions.PaperSize =CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperSize.PaperFanfoldStdGermanI had no success, setting continuous papersize by printer setup. ... waiting for CustomPaperSize-Property (like CustomPaperSource)...

Printing in Dot Matrix Printer

Hi to all,
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.

Aditya

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.
   1. 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.
After you do the stepwise, I am sure there will no problem any more. The slowly printing mostly caused by printer type and your hardware specifications for example your LAN, etc..
good luck...

Portrait on 14" width by 11" length continuous feed paper for Dot Matrix printer.

Hello,
I am trying to set the properties of a Report Builder 3.0 form for Portrait orientation with 14" width by 11" length continuous form. The report will print on a high speed dot matrix printer. My problem is when I change the report property
to 14" width by 11" length, Report Builder 3.0 automatically changes the Orientation to Landscape! I want it Portrait on 14"x11" paper!
Thanks in advance.

Hi CRC111,
According to your description, when printing reports in dot matrix printer, it can't keep the Portrait in report property. Right?
In Reporting Services, it supports printing in a dot matrix printer. However, the dot matrix print is quite different from regular printers. It has reported it can't accept the page layout(landscape and Portrait). In this scenario, we suggest you export
the report into PDF/TIFF, then print it in dot matrix printer. Please refer to the links below:
SSRS Printing to Dot matrix printer
Reporting by using Dot Matrix Printer
report properties for dotmatrix report in SSRS
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Hi Raje,
Try to take the print in inkjet or laserjet printer
just for confirmation purpose .
if it prints in that and doesn't print in dot matrix then the problem is with the dot matrix.
In that case ask the basis guys to install the relevent device driver for that dot matrix printer( as normally they would have installed some generic driver ).
Hope this helps.

Print to Dot-Matrix-Printer

Hi,
My actual job is to create an Report in Oracle Reports 10, running on an IBM AIX Unix Server and direct the output to an Dot-Matrix Printer.
The Report is ready for Preview.
What Parameter should be set as Report_DesFormat for that Dot-Matrix Printer?
I found only the list HTML, HTMLCSS, PDF, RTF, POSTSCRIPT, XML but the Printer can not unterstand any of these formats.
Thanks for any help
Rolf Mamat

Hi.
Using one of graphical destination format can lead to unexpected results. What you should do is to configure your printer at the system OS level. Then you should include that printer into $ORACLE_HOME/guicommon/tk/admin/uiprint.txt file. The line you add to this file should be read as printer_name_you_specified_at_os_level:ASCII:1:some_comment:: For example :
my_dot_printer:ASCII:Testing printer::
Be aware of two colons at the end of the line.
For a destination format you should use one of predefined formats (dflt, wide, ...) or you can make your own format file which should be stored in $ORACLE_HOME/reports/printers directory. And dont forget to define your report design in character units.
Hope this answers your question.
Best regards.

Thanks,

Hi Vishnu,
Above you have the following commands:
set line spacing 6 LPI
\e\0x32
set page length 86 lines
\e\0x43\0x46
46 HEX = 70
So the above settings mean 70 lines at 6 LPI = 11.66 inches.
So is the paper length 11.66 inches? If not, you should adjust the settings accordingly.

yes. As long as it is a newer one (means not 15-20 years old). Do you have one? If so, provide the make/model. If you do not have one, which ones are you looking to purchase?

Sales invoice Smartform printing in dot matrix printer in sucession

Dear all,
I am trying to Print Sales invoice on Dot matrix Printer.
My First Invoice is printed ok, but if i try to print second invoice without manually adjusting the paper the alignment on printer goes haywiered.
Do we have some option in smartform where we can trigger new page command.
Regards,
Gaurav Sood

Hi Amiya,
you need to check the paperformat which is used. I'm pretty sure that there is a wrong paperformat selected. The supported paperformats are published in the official documentation of the printer-model.

Problem with custom paper size on dot matrix printer

Hi All,
I'm using CR2008 with updated to SP2. I have a problem with custom paper size (W=21; H=14), the CR Viewer show report with custom paper size correctly but when I print it to a dot matrix printer (Epson LQ 300+) the content was rotated to landscape. If print to a laser printer the content was printed correctly. My report was printed correctly by CR10 or previous versions I got this issue when upgraded to CR2008. I aslo tested my computer and printer with orther application like MS Word the printing have no problem with custom paper size.
Thanks for any advice for me.
Han

Looking at the Epson LQ 300+ driver, I see that the latest update is from 2002. In my experience, most matrix printer drivers are not unicode. Crystal Reports is designed to only work with unicode printer drivers. See the [How Printer Driver Options Affect a Report|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/a09051e9-721e-2b10-11b6-f9c65c64ef29&overridelayout=true] article, page 6 for details. Also, see [this|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_dev/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes.do] note.
Finally, see if you can print from the CR designer to this printer and if you get the correct results here.
