Screen Print and report print in 11g Forms
Hi,
I have created a popup menu in forms 11g which has a label print screen.
When user clicks on it, it is supposed to bring up the list of printers that user has on his PC, so that they can choose the printer where they want to print to.
Do I need to use webutil for it? or is there any other way?.
Thanks
Munish
If you plan on printing from the client your only options are to use WebUtil or write your own java bean.
That said, if you are generating the labels using Reports, why not generate to a pdf file? If you coded your form properly, the pdf will open on the client side in something like Acrobat Viewer. If they want to print it they can click on the "Print" button in PDF viewer.
If you really want to make it complicated and present a list of printers and allow them to pick one then send the job to the printer, this will take some effort. Here are some starter tips assuming the client will always be Windows based:
You can get the current default printer like this:
-- More registry info for printing can be found here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/102966
Declare
rtn_Registry varchar2(255);
rtn_defaultPrinter varchar2(255);
Begin
rtn_Registry := CLIENT_WIN_API_ENVIRONMENT.Read_Registry('HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows','Device');
rtn_defaultPrinter := substr(rtn_Registry,1,instr(rtn_Registry,',',1)-1);
message (rtn_defaultPrinter); -- This is the name of the default printer
End;Some printer properties and preferences can be called with something like this:
-- More details here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q189105/
Declare
my_cmd varchar2(255);
rtn_Registry varchar2(255);
rtn_defaultPrinter varchar2(255);
Begin
-- Get default printer
rtn_Registry := CLIENT_WIN_API_ENVIRONMENT.Read_Registry('HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows','Device');
rtn_defaultPrinter := substr(rtn_Registry,1,instr(rtn_Registry,',',1)-1);
-- Printer default preferences
my_cmd := 'rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /e /n "'|| rtn_defaultPrinter ||'"';
-- Printer properties
-- my_cmd := 'rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /p /n "'|| rtn_defaultPrinter ||'"';
-- Printer queue
-- my_cmd := 'rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /o /n "'|| rtn_defaultPrinter ||'"';
If rtn_defaultPrinter IS NULL Then
Message('Default printer not detected.');
Message('Default printer not detected.');
RAISE Form_Trigger_Failure;
End if;
SYNCHRONIZE;
CLIENT_HOST(my_cmd);
End;The complete list of installed printers can be found in the Registry here:
<blockquote>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers</blockquote>
Take a look at this java bean example used to help print to the local printer from Forms.

Can I use Airport Express for printing and Ethernet printing at same time?
I've been trying to set up a couple of laser printers that were given to me recently. The printers are Apple LaserWriter 16/600 PS and Samsung CLP-510. The reason I'd like to have both up and running is because the black toner for the Samsung costs twice as much as the toner for the LaserWriter. I have two questions that I am hoping someone will be able to answer.
1) The CLP prints a test page just fine. I was finally able to get the Samsung printing while directly connected to my PowerBook G4 via usb (I had to install a Xerox Phaser 6100 driver to do so!). Today I tried putting the usb into my Airport Express (which I use for my portable internet and airtunes) and now the printer does not respond. When I try to add the CLP as a bonjour printer, I get an error adding the printer and the printer does not respond. Can someone offer some advice as to how and if the CLP may work via the Airport Express?
2) The LaserWriter prints a test page just fine. I purchased a transceiver (albeit not an Apple transceiver - this one says Asante Friendlynet, the guy I bought it from said it would work though). The transceiver is connected to the Ethernet port on the printer - and I have a yellow ethernet cable (?) running from the transceiver to the ethernet port on my computer. I read somewhere on the internet that I need to turn on Appletalk in order to use the printer via ethernet but when I went into my network settings to do that, there was a warning that I could not turn on appletalk for ethernet without forsaking my airport. Can someone offer some advice as to how and if the 16/600 PS may work via ethernet without disrupting my (working) airport express? Also - I did not receive any software or drivers with this printer but I read that I may not need to (they come with Tiger - ?) Is anyone able to confirm this?
Any help would be TOTALLY appreciated!
Leigh-AnnHello Kappy! Thank you for taking the time to reply to my question.
I should update you at this point to say that I can add the 16/600 PS printer through a process that I found called 'Direct IP printing over ethernet'. (I think I've done this correctly - but I honestly have no idea about network stuff). Here's what I did:
-went into system prefs and looked at the network settings under built-in ethernet tab. Under TCP-IP I found the IP address of my network host.
-In the Printer Setup Utility I tried to manually add the 16/600 PS printer. In the Printer Browser window, I selected IP Printer.
-Under IP printer, I selected LPD Protocol. I inserted the IP address copied from my network settings (above) in the address bar. In the Queue bar I typed in the name of the printer 'Apple LaserWriter 16/600 PS'.
-Again in the Printer Browser box I gave the printer a name and location. Finally, in the 'print using' box I selected Apple and then chose the model from the drop down list. 'Apple LaserWriter 16/600 PS fax v.2014.016'
-I got a dialogue box that asked about other installable features - clicked ok.
-when I tried to print a Word document, the Apple LaserWriter driver opened up and appeared in my dock and then I got an immediate error saying "network host ---.---.--.--- is busy, down, or unreachable..."
-I tried to repair permissions, but it did not resolve my issue.
-I noticed that even after adding the 16/600, it did not show up as a bonjour printer, but remained visible as a printer in my list (although grayed out).
I did some troubleshooting and the best I could find as a close match for my problem was that perhaps I had entered the name incorrectly in the Queue box...? If anyone knows how to find the appropriate name to insert I would sure appreciate knowing.
Finally - you should probably know that I received this printer from someone else. I guess I'm wondering if I need to be resetting network settings on the printer somehow? The test page lists the following:
Ethernet (Address: 08:00:07:84:78:e9)
EtherTalk: PostScript
NetWare: AutoSelect
TCP/IP: AutoSelect
IP address: 0.0.0.0
And - now finally, to answer your questions (the best I can, that is)
I did connect the yellow network cable directly into my laptop (right side, 4th input, counting away from me). I have a portable internet modem that plugs into my wall (for power) and then has a cable (Ethernet?) that goes into my Airport Express (LAN port?). I have no other router and there are no other inputs or outputs on my modem. My Airport Express has only one input for the modem, one mini input for airtunes, and one usb input (in which I have a cable connecting to my other laser printer (now working wirelessly via Airport Express!!)
Should I have these cables hooked up differently?
What is a Phonenet adaptor? My internet is provided via a cable service (not DSL). It is wireless and portable - I can take it to any major city in Canada and it works as long as it is plugged into a power source and near a window.
I really appreciate any help you can offer. At this point I must have spent the better part of almost two weeks trying to get these older laser printers up and running.
Thank you again.

I have an e printer and the printer is on the same network as the iPad. When I attempt to print from the iPad I get a message no printers available. How can I get my iPad to recognize the e printer?
This printer has worked for me with out fail at my house. I am traveling in an RV and am at the mercy of the RV Wifi. I do not have access to the router. The printer has been recycled a number of times as well as the Ipad. The printer is set up and has access to the wifi. It seems to me that the Ipad and Iphone are not recognizing the connection with the e printer. I was hoping there was some adjustment that could be made to the Ipad and Iphone. I can email to the printer from both gadgets. I will try to recycle the devices again.

Used to highlight just the portion of an article that I wanted to print and press print selection only. How do you do that with a MAC?
Depends to some extent what application you're printing from, and what printer you're using, but here's the dialogue box for ⌘P in Firefox -
Note the option to print selection only.
Haven't looked before, but I can't find anything similar in Pages print options.
It does appear in Word though.

i am trying to print a jpg, centered on the page, to epson printer and the printed image is off center, does anyone have a sense about setting to check?
right click a blank area of the toolbar, click Customize. You'll see the printer icon there. Drag and drop it to where you want.
You can also find this option under View -> Toolbars -> Customize. -
Acrobat on OSX does not use printer preset. Every single time I have to print I have to click printer and then print to load the preset and then click print again from the main dialog. I am printing to a Xerox that has the copier code in the preset so if I don't do this it will not print. This has been broken for in every version I have tried. This extra clicks are taking years off my life. Did I remember to do the extra clicks? I don't know, I guess I will run down the hall and check. Please fix this.
What operating system are you running? I assume they had you install the latest BIOS. True? If it were mine, I would suggest forcing it to use integrated graphics (in the BIOS) to rule out a problem with the NVidia driver.

I have a b210 printer and cannot print 4 X 6 from my computer other than Snapfish. I have photos either on Adobe 8; scanned to myu HP Essentials or kodak. Even though I have paper that will fit in the printer. How can I rememdy this.
Hi, Matty. Select Page Setup from iPhoto's File menu, select your printer, and choose 4x6 as the paper size. I believe the Print dialog box governs what size the image is printed at, but the Page Setup dialog governs which paper tray is used. I don't have a printer that can use 4x6 paper, so I can't test this suggestion myself. Hope it works for you.

If I want to print a page displayed by Firefox, I do the usual, I go to file, choose Print and press Print on the print window. Then the printer just hang, nothing happens.
No problem with MSN, Word, WordPerfect, Yahoo, etc
Thanks for your help.There's no "pages" of information, it's one long page of preferences.
'''print.printer''' will be listed multiple times, there are like 3 dozen or more preferences for each printer. If you have more than one printer there will be groups of prefs for each printer.
You can try resetting only '''print.print_printer''' and then restart Firefox, and see if that solves your problem. But chances are that you may need to reset every pref for that printer.
Also make sure that you don't have multiples of the same prefs for that printer. It is very possible that you may find duplicates like this or similar. <br />
'''print.printer_HP Officejet 6500_Series(2).print_evenpages'''
(2) or (3) in a pref means you have multiple prefs for the same printer ''(usually caused by installing the print drivers multiple times without uninstalling the old drivers first)'', and that can cause problems with Firefox; the "printer" driver you select probably ain't gonna be the one that is really "installed". If you see something like that, you will definitely need to reset every pref for that printer; the duplicates will be gone after the restart and won't return after you use your printer the first time after the reset. -

Smart form printing issue with LOCL printer and SAP printer
Hi,
The issues are as follows:
1. the top portion of the Invoice and PO does not print when using the SAP printer (works when using LOCL)
2. the shaded areas of the Order Confirmation and Invoice are black when printing to a SAP printer (works when using LOCL)
In an attempt to correct the printing issue is was suggested that we change the SAP printer device type from HPLJ4 to POST2. This did address the problem where the shaded areas were black but then we received reports that other reports printed "garbage". Its possible that using POST2 device type causes issues when printing to HP compatible printers.
Apparently all the testing was done using the SAP printer LOCL and not the SAP printer name and SAP spool system. LOCL uses the SAP GUI and Windows system to produce the output. Our production users at the plant site and Toledo are using SAP defined printers with the device type of HPLJ4. HPLJ4 is our standard here as OC for our printer definitions and we have HP compatible printers installed in our Toledo location and all of our remote sites. We need to be able to correctly print the Invoices, Purchase Orders, Sales Order Confirmations on our SAP printers.
What can be done to the reports to allow them to print on our HPLJ4?
Thanks,
BabuHi Prathap,
Check the background shading of the windows of the Smartform where you get the black boxes. If it is set something like this:
Color: White
Saturation: 100%
this can be the problem.
I know it is strange but some black and white printers cannot handle this setting. They only know one color black so the ignore the color setting and just take the saturation 100% setting.
The reason it works with local and device type SAPWIN is that the print data is created in Windows and sent to the printer as graphic.
Please change the shading for window MAIN -> tab 'Output Options' to:
Color: Black
Saturation: 0%
and this should resolve the problem.
Then create a new spool and check if the problem is resolved. See SAP Note #400050.
Regards,
Prabhu
