How to setup Print server on multiple machines?

Hi,
Can someone please let me know the process to setup Print Server on multiple machines?
This is what I have been thinking.
1. Install Ghostscript on all the machines.
2. Setup Print Server on all the machines.
3. I guess I have to point the IP address somewhere as final step?
Thanks in advance
PM

The steps you have mentioned is correct.
When you set up the print service ,you will define the URL for Financial Reporting web application server in the .properties file and this will get registered in the HSS registry(This is the step where you run the FRprintserversetup.cmd).So when you run the setup from each print server there will entries created for the same in HSS registry.Then there will internal logic which will work on which server should take which process.
Thx

Error when print report from apex using apex listener 2

Hi
Apex 4.2
I want print report to pdf from apex using apex listener 2.
The print server 'Oracle APEX listener' has been defined at the instance-level.
ACL has been configured.
I attempt to download a report in PDF mode, it appears that it downloads,
but when I go to open it up I get an error that the file is of the wrong type or possibly corrupt.
Upon opening the file in Text editor, there is an error as below
%PDF-1.4
1 瀛楄妭鐨?UTF-8 搴忓垪鐨勫瓧鑺?1 鏃犳晥銆?

If you use Windows the user that runs the reports server is usually LocalSystem. Check this in the Windows Services panel.
LocalSystem has no printer access. To be able to print, you have to use a real domain user that has access to the printer. So, change the Log on properties in the Services panel.

Excel and HTML printing format in APEX 3.0 question

Hi all,
I've followed the thread Problems with PDF printing, using Apache FOP! and Carl Backstrom's instruction in this link
http://carlback.blogspot.com/ to setup print server. Just only 2 "PDF and Word" format is working and the other 2 "html and excel" don't work. When i try to use the "Excel" format to print the report, all i see is %PDF-1.3
%ª«¬
4 0 obj
<< /Type /Info
/Producer (FOP 0.20.5) >>
endobj
5 0 obj
<< /Length 795 /Filter [ /ASCII85Decode /FlateDecode ]
>>
and when i witch to "html" format and click on the link, nothing to response. Do you have any idea about it? what should i set up to use the full print features?
Thanks,
Kevin

Kevin,
Your options are to print the report as CSV and opening it in Excel (by enabling this under report attributes) or to install BI Publisher as the rendering engine. By rendering engine I mean the system that runs in the background to render your documents. So when you’re saying to print directly from the report, that’s what’s happening in the background: you report data gets posted along with a style sheet to that rendering engine, and you document gets returned so that you can download it as PDF, Word, Excel etc. Please see the following document for more details:

Configuring Problem in Oracle Application Express 3.0 Print Server

hi all,
Configuring for my Oracle Application Express Print Server in apex 3.0 I have used apache foa and made all steps in the documentation
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/configure_printing.html
the print attribute works but I have a problem in the pdf print with characters.
My reports columns characters are turkish and when I linked to print pdf the print the turkish characters are seeming #
and I try to change in the script apex_fop_render.jsp I changed the encode but the problem was not solved.Can you help please urgently!
I am waiting your helps!

Apache FOP does not support some character sets out of the box, i.e. Asian languages require additional configuration steps. Not sure about those non-standard ISO characters in the Turkish alphabet though. But since you’re writing that those are returned as #, looks like the same problem. There should be information available on the Internet on how to configure those fonts and character sets with Apache FOP. Once BI Publisher is out, using that as the rendering engine with APEX might be another alternative to consider, as that product will support this out of the box.
Regards,
Marc

Printer server always uses Generic Postscript Driver so cannot print!

I have setup print server in Leopard Server with my 2 x HP 2600n Lasers, I have installed the HP drivers but when I try to add the printer to the pool it always uses the generic postscript driver which the printer will not work with, any suggestions?
Thanks

The 2600n series uses host-based printing and will not print over LPR or IPP. The host computer will only communicate with the printer over BonJour which won't work across subnets unless you have Wide-Area DNS-SD setup on your network. Leopard's print server only prints to printers over LPR or IPP but can advertise LPR and IPP queues via BonJour.

Create Simple Printable SQL Reports in APEX 3.2 Without a Print Server

Oracle Apex 3.2
Oracle 11g
OHS
I thought I'd post an answer on how to get a printable SQL report in Oracle Apex without having to configure a print server. I'm sure that similar things have been posted in various other places, but I found the documentation for using custom row templates (to create a printable report) to be incomplete at best. For my needs, I was not looking for an awe inspiring report printout, but rather simple directory information printouts. For example, if you wanted a printable report to look like this:
=================================
CURRENT ACTIVE EMPLOYEES REPORT
=================================
First Name: Bob                  Employee ID: 0000000000
Last Name: Swarts              Company Credit Card Number: 0000-0000-0000-0000
Middle Initial: F                  Social Security Number: 000-00-0000
First Name: Sue                  Employee ID: 1111111111
Last Name: Johnson           Company Credit Card Number: 1111-1111-1111-1111
Middle Initial: G                 Social Security Number: 111-11-1111
etc.....In MS Access, doing this is very easy. From what I understand, this is also very easy to do this using PDF software with a print server. However, if you are like me, you don't want to waste time and money by obtaining and configuring a print server (even if it is free). However, never fear because you can create simple reports like this with relatively minimalistic effort; and you can do so without having to configure a print server.
1.) Create a new page
2.) Create a new sql query report region on the page
3.) Make your query just as you would normally.
For this example the query would be:
select first_name, employee_id, last_name, company_credit_card_number, middle_initial, social_security_number from employee_table4.) Go to "Shared Components"
5.) Under "User Interface" click on "Templates"
6.) Click on the "Create" button
7.) Select "Report"
8.) Select "From Scratch"
9.) For the "Template Class," choose one of the "custom" classes. For the "Template Type," choose "Named Column"
10.) Click the "Create" button
11.) Now that you created a custom row template, go back to "Shared Components" and then to "Templates"
12.) Find your custom template and click on it
CUSTOM TEMPLATE HOW TO
1.) In the "Row Template 1" textbox, you are going to create some custom css that will display the data on the page. The css to make the report look like the report above would be:
<div style = text-align: justify">
<table>
<tr>
<td style = "width: 200px"><b>First Name: #1#</b></td>
<td style = "width: 225px">&nbsp</td>
<td style = "width: 215px"><b>Employee Id: #2#</b></td>
<tr>
<td style = "width: 200px">Last Name: #3#</td>
<td style = "width: 225px">&nbsp</td>
<td style = "width: 215px">Company Credit Card Number: #4#</td>
<tr>
<td style = "width: 200px">MI: #5#</td>
<td style = "width: 225px">&nbsp</td>
<td style = "width: 215px">Social Security Number: <b>#6#</b></td>
</tr>
</table>
<p style = "page-break-after: always">----------------------------------------------------------------</p>
</div>
{code}
As you probably figured out, the numbers between the two pound signs ("#") are substitution strings for the variables in your select query in the SQL report. As you have also probably noticed, the "page-break-after: always" line will always make it so that only one report is shown on a page. To fix this, we will need to use logic and row template 2.
2.) For the "Row Template 1 Condition," select "Use Based on PL/SQL Expression" from the select list.
3.) In the textbox for the row template 1 expression enter in the following: {code}substr('#rownum#',-1) = 0 or substr('#rownum#',-1) = 5{code}
***** This condition will make sure that this template is applied when the last digit in the row number is either a "0" or a "5." So, only 5 reports will be displayed per page.
4.) Now go down to "Row Template 2" and enter in the following in the textbox:
{code}
<div style = text-align: justify">
<table>
<tr>
<td style = "width: 200px"><b>First Name: #1#</b></td>
<td style = "width: 225px">&nbsp</td>
<td style = "width: 215px"><b>Employee Id: #2#</b></td>
<tr>
<td style = "width: 200px">Last Name: #3#</td>
<td style = "width: 225px">&nbsp</td>
<td style = "width: 215px">Company Credit Card Number: #4#</td>
<tr>
<td style = "width: 200px">MI: #5#</td>
<td style = "width: 225px">&nbsp</td>
<td style = "width: 215px">Social Security Number: <b>#6#</b></td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>----------------------------------------------------------------</p>
</div>look familiar? that is because it exactly the same code as above, except without the page-break-after piece.
5.) For the "Row Template 2 Condition," select "Use Based on PL/SQL Expression" from the select list.
6.) In the textbox for the row template 2 expression enter in the following: substr('#rownum#',-1) != 0 or substr('#rownum#',-1) != 5***** This condition will make sure that this template is applied when the last digit in the row number IS NOT a "0" or a "5."
7.) Scroll down to column headings and enter this in the textbox for the "Column Heading Template": OMIT
8.) Click the "Apply Changes" button
9.) Now go back to your application and the page you want to apply the custom report to
10.) On the report, click on the report tab
11.) Scroll down to "Layout and Pagination"
12.) Click on the "Report Template" select list
13.) Select your custom template
14.) Click the "Apply Changes" button and run the page
Try printing the report, if it does not print correctly, try it in Opera, Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Google Chrome. Please note that it is my understanding that only Firefox does not understand the css "page-break-after: always"
If needed, add some css to the page to hide tabs and other items when you print.

DOH. Too much copy/paste.
In my code, I was setting an application variable to contain the email address I was retrieving from AD. Once commented out, it worked fine.
          IF l_attr_name = 'mail' THEN
             APEX_UTIL.SET_SESSION_STATE('F111_USER_EMAIL',l_vals(i));

HP DeskJet 712c Driver and Wireless Print Server Setup

I have recently purchased a MacBook Pro and am unable to setup my printer to print. Previous to using the MacBook Pro I was using a windows machine without any trouble printing to this printer, however now I can't locate the printer on a list of pre-installed drivers for Mac. I've already checked HP's website and was unable to find any drivers that were for Mac OS. What is a good alternative driver source? Once I do get the driver what would my next steps need to be to set up the wireless print server to work with my mac?
Printer: HP DeskJet 712c
Wireless Print Server: D-Link DP-311P
I would be grateful for guidance to go about this process so that I can use my printer again.
MacBook Pro 2.16GHz Mac OS X (10.4.6)

HP-provided drivers don't support network printing. You'll need to install Foomatic (a PPD interpreter), ESP ghostscript (postscript translator) and the 712c PPD from:
http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/foomatic/
http://www.linuxprinting.org/showprinter.cgi?recnum=HP-DeskJet712C
Then, since we don't have the auto-setup software for OS X, you need to review the print server manual and find out which IP printing protocol to use. The easiest is HP Jetdirect (called TCP/IP raw port printing in many manuals) if it's available, because it doesn't require the device queue name.
Good luck.

Printer Server configuration for APEX 3.1.2 in 10g XE

I have APEX3.1.2 installed in 10g XE and I am going thorough the OTN tutorial "[Oracle Application Express 3.0-- Building a Functional Application"|http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/apex/obe30/apexdev30.htm#l7] in the section "Editing Application Objects".
When I click "Print Attribute" of a page region, it displayed "{color:#ff0000}Report printing is currently not available, there is no print server configured{color}".
Can you tell me what this means and how to resolve it. All I have is APEX3.1.2 installed in 10gXE.
I have searched this forum and it seems that I have to install/configure a printer server?
Thanks!
Kevin

Dan,
I have the same problem as Kevin.
Your answer to his question can be very helpful. But if I follow the link you provide, I cant find the step 5.2.
Step 5.1 is clear. But what are the tasks of step 5.2?
I hope that you can tell me this.
Thank you.

Wireless Print Server Setup Issue

I have tried to set my MacBook Pro utilizing my D-Link DPR-1260 print server. I get the following warning when I try to use the setup wizard:
Unsupported Operating System. The Printer Setup Wizard supports only Windows XP/2000/98/ME operating systems. Your computer uses the MacIntel operating system.
Troubleshooting Tips - Refer to the documentation that came with your print server for printer setup instructions specific to your operating system.
I have read and reread the printer manual and nowhere does it say anything about Mac setups. I have sent two e-mails to D-link and both have been ignored. The Mac recognizes the HP printer and will print if attached to it. When I attach the printer to the print server it will work wireless when I use a Windows based laptop and I really don't want to load Windows if I can get away with it. I have a D-Link wireless router and it works perfectly with the Mac. I found a thread dated late 2007 but the instruction gif's the person attached expired so I can't see the details that made it work with the older version of OS X.
Any ideas so I don't have to purchase another printer server specifically for Mac???

You need two things -
First, the HP-provided driver (on OS X) was written to only support direct USB printing, so you need a CUPS driver. Check here to find that and install it:
http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/macosx
(click on "printers" in the blue bar and look up your printer.)
Next, you need to read your print server manual and figure out what comm protocols are supported and then enter the right info into the Add printer dialog. For example, the print server's queue name (also called port name) is a required entry (not default) for the IP > LPD and IPP protocols. If the print server supports TCP/IP raw or port 9100 or socket printing, those terms are all equal to the IP > HP Jetdirect protocol on OS X. That protocol doesn't need a queue name, so it's usually easier for Mac users. I think L1 or P1 are typical queue names on Linksys servers.
If you need more help, I need to know the print server model #.

How do we setup OSX Server 10.4.9 to allow Windows XP SP2 to print?

Background information:
We have 3 printers setup on OSX Server 10.4.9.
All 3 are shared in the Print Server as IPP & SMB.
Windows Services are up and running as a PDC allowing users to login and use anything in their respective home folders from the Windows computers.
All computers are on the same network/subnet.
We have made no major changes to OSX Server at this point.
Problem:
Someone logs into one of the Windows computers using the Domain ran by OSX Server.
In Windows explorer they goto \\SERVER. Once there they see all 3 printers and a "Printers and Faxes" folder containing the same 3 printers.
The 3 printers inside "Printers and Faxes" allow their queues to be looked at in Windows but will not allow themselves to be connected to the Windows computer. They give the same message that the 3 printers outside of the "Printers and Faxes" folder give:
"A policy is in effect on your computer which prevents you from connecting to this print queue. Please contact your system administrator."
Question:
What must we do in order to get the printers working for use with Windows?

Wireless print server setup

Have an HP 2355 which was hooked up local to Mac G5 10.4.10. Wanted to allow windows laptops to print to HP so set up 2355 with Linksys wireless print server. Windows PC's find server and print but G5 doesn't. Where can i get some general direction (thats not too technical) as to how to link the G5 to the print server? Thanks in advance. Sorry, I'm a novice at this stuff.

Help needed to setup to Network Print Server

Hi,
I am trying to configure the following to print from my Mac:
D-Link DP-301U USB print server
HP Color LaserJet 3500
MacBook Core Duo OS X 10.4.8
Very little information is available on both D-Link and HP website.
The D-Link installation guide says to install via AppleTalk.
AppleTalk has been activated on my AirPort as well as on the Web configuration of Print Server. However I cannot see any printer on adding a printer.
In the Add Printer Browser, I can see my print server on Bonjour. When selected, I am supposed to choose my HP printer, but it is no on the HP printer list.
Only Generic PostScript can be selected, however when printing, it prints our garbage.

A long time ago, I worked on a print spooler and was lent a JetDirect
box from HP to test with. A JetDirect card is in your LaserJet, I believe.
(One of the protocols it supported was localtalk, BTW). I think the
d-link isn't forwarding your localtalk packets. Anyway, one of the
things I remember is that the JetDirect spoke PCL, so that's another
consideration a driver has to deal with. The garbage you're seeing
is raw postscript. It needs to be rasterized and translated to PCL.
Please bear with me, my experience is very old, and there are gaps
in my knowledge. But I think this is do-able. I think the first step is
to add the printer directly by clicking here,
The location of the printer should be the address of the print server
(or canonical name if you're ever going to change addresses). The
device should be appsocket/jetdirect. The device uri should be
socket://nameoripaddressofdevice. The make should be HP and
the model/driver should be one of the Laserjet series, gimp-print.
I don't know which one, my experience ended around Laserjet 5, and
so do the drivers! But fundamentally they have to do the same thing.
They use the gimp-print package to rasterize the postscript and
encapsulate it into PCL. So I would bet the LaserJet 6 driver will work.
I'm sure everything posted here is correct, and that my experience
is too old and I don't know enough to know why this won't work,
but it's not a lot of effort, and if I were you I'd give it a try.

Print Server Setup/Config

ok, i have a 2008 R2 server that i added the print server role too.
i have been following this article: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753109(v=ws.10).aspx
but my question is when i add a printer by IP address (the search brought up 0 results) do i need to leave the "Share Printer" box checked? or uncheck it?
after i add the printers to this server, i will then go to our AD Server and connect the print server in the print management console that is there on the main AD/Domain Controller.
also plan to create a user based GPO to so specific users will be mapped to printers. do i need to create/add printers to the same OUs that the users are in in ADUC?
i want to get the server right before i add it into AD as a designated PS.

In order for clients to connect to the shared printers, the Shared box needs to be checked.
Printers can be Published but that is not a requirement to deploy connections to the shared printers.
If you would like printers discoverable when clients attempt to find them in the domain, then Publishing the print objects to the domain would be needed.

Print Server setup from start to finish

So it seems like Setting up OSX Server's Print Service is more problematic than many would like to believe. Basically, I have a bunch of printers that are working fine, accept that people are printing to them directly instead of going through the print server. I have followed scores of advice and have not solved the problem. I would love for someone with a working print server (i.e. print quotas working properly) to explain how they configured their machine from start to finish so I can try that. I'm really at my wits end on this one

just want to bump this up to see if we get any responses. i'm having the same issue. i've read through the print service admin documentation and i'm having no luck at all. here is what i've done so far, maybe someone can tell me what's going wrong.
enabled print services in server admin
logged into the server hosting print services and added the printers. printing directly from this server works just fine.
on a client computer added the printer using the server's .lan dns name and using the name of the queue as it appears in server admin's list of queues.
when i try to print from the client, i get an error saying that the host is busy
