Simplest IDE and printing interface

I am developing a reporting tool in core java and JFC. I am not using any EJB or servlet. I have a few questions:
1. Which IDE (freely downloadable) helps to develop java application quickly without much learning curve.
2. Since I have to generate and print reports, I will require to give print from my application. I want that the printable interface in java should open the OS specific print dialog and then cordinate with it. I also want preview thing and setting the paper format (lanscape ..). How simple/difficult it is to use java for it???
Thanks in adv...

1) IDE - JDevloper...free to download. www.oracle.com
2) Printing not hard to do ... once you have gone thru the pain of learning the print API. Print preview you would have to implement yourself...there is no such thing in the API (as of 1.3...1.4 who knows?)

Hi mafiose15,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Restoring your iPod to factory settings is the best way to try and get it back to working order. You can use the instructions below to restore it:
How to restore iPod
Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
Click Restore.
If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
You can find the instructions in this article:

My mac keeps freezing when i try and print anything from preview. any ideas as to what the issue is or how to fix it?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Hello, I have exactly the same problem. I could have written the same text. And I have'nt found solutions. Except, perhaps, change this printer (and quit HP?).
Any suggestions would be really much appreciated.

Hi bdtcop,
I understand that you are experiencing an issue with AirPrint. Here is an article for you with some troubleshooting steps that may be helpful for resolving this issue:
About AirPrint
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
If you're unable to print
Check these things if you are unable to print, or if you see the message "No AirPrint Printers Found."
Make sure your printer has paper, and enough ink or toner installed.
Make sure your printer is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your iOS device.
Make sure your printer has power and is turned on. Try turning your printer off and then back on again to see if it resolves your issue.
Check to see if your printer has any error lights or indicators displayed on the printer's control panel. Check the documentation that came with your printer to clear any errors displayed.
Check with your printer's manufacturer to see if any firmware updates are available for your printer. Check your printer's documentation or contact the printer vendor for more information. A firmware update may be available, even if you just bought your printer.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

My LaserWriter Pro 630 thinks it's a LaserJet IIP and prints dirty pages!

I recently aquired a LaserWriter Pro 630, and have been trying to get it to work. I've been using it with a WinXP Pro SP2 laptop as my PowerMac G4 doesn't have a parallel port and my print server has not arrived yet.
Basically, the only time it'll print anything is when the push button on the printer interface rail is set to 1 or 3 - which is PCL output. While the printer will print when set to PCL, it's output is... undesirable. When configured in XP as a LaserWriter Pro 630, it simply starts printing out the raw PostScript sent to the printer! interestingly enough, the printer will print on push button setting 4 - it'll print the printer spec sheet, and nothing else. Anything other than 1, 3, 04 4 will result in the printer thinking for a bit then giving an "out of paper light" or having the print job pass on in to oblivion, not giving an error on the printer or computer.
Now, the LW Pro 630 supports LaserJet IIP emulation... So I manually configured the driver to a LaserJet IIP in XP, set the push button to 3, and it prints! Only problem is, the pages look like they were sent through a bad fax machine.
I uploaded the scan of the XP Printer Test page here (http://img221.imageshack.us/my.php?image=lwpro630xp2cq7.jpg). Obviously the printer works, but I'd rather not print reports and whatnot on it when it looks like this.
For reference, here's the scan of the printer spec sheet that prints when the push button's set to 4 (http://img221.imageshack.us/my.php?image=lwpro630specsdy0.jpg).
Does anyone have an idea how I can resolve the LaserWriter's identity crisis and make it print cleanly again? Thanks!

The LaserWriter Pro 630 is a Postscript level 2 printer with LocalTalk, serial, Ethernet, and parallel interfaces.
To use it with your Mac, you may need to convert its 14-pin AAUI Ethernet port (marked with <_> Icon) to an RJ45 Ethernet port by adding a used US$5 transceiver.
It can then be used with the standard Apple LaserWriter driver when you turn on AppleTalk on your Ethernet port. No additional print server is required to use with a Mac.
The overall smudginess is caused by shipping it with the cartridge in place, with the tape seal removed. The toner has flown all over the inside of the cartridge. You need a new cartridge.
The LaserWriter test page is trying to explain the settings of the number dial in the center oval of the printout. It lists the ports in order and the settings imposed by each switch setting:
8 -- for the MiniDIN-8 port, used for LocalTalk
RS-232 -- for the RS-232 port, probably a DB-25, and shows the serial settings, like 9600, 8 data, etc.
Ethernet -- for the AAUI Ethernet port, which accepts Postscript level 2 data using "EtherTalk" -- AppleTalk-over-Ethernet
parallel -- for Centronics parallel, which will likely only provide HP PCL 4+ emulation and not Postscript.

This new printing interface in 10.5 is SOOO MUCH BETTER!!

just used the printing interface on my new macbook pro/10.5... i'm SO GLAD the printer interface has been improved... i've been begging since 1990 (literally) to be able to change the page set-up options from within the print dialog box... it was always so inefficient to have to go back and forth between "page setup" and "print" dialog boxes...
also even microsoft gave a thumbnail in the print dialog window years ago so that we can see what it will look like... apple got it in there too... i'm so glad they are paying attention to good ideas even if they don't think of them on their own... (after all, microsoft got were it is largely from copying good ideas that other people thought of, IMHO)...
it threw me trying to find the "printer set-up", since i'm coming from 10.4... but the new implementation works fine in the "system prefs"... the auto discover seems to work fairly reliably for setting the printer model... i'm entering about 25 IP printers i use in the different buildings where i work... so it is very helpful for it to pull as much info as possible... am slowly migrating everything off my old PB 1.5G... this is such a pleasant surprise...
i've only used printing a few times so far and it is so much better!!!
thank you! thank you! thank you!

My another question is more of a Basis question since I cant find a basis thread Im posting here,
The developer trying to connect to courion but some how the Courion connector did not work so we added sap_all, sap_new to the courion ID but it worked once and then its not working again.

Problem viewing and printing PDF files in Preview

I have a document that was created in Adobe InDesign (CS4) with a photo that was converted to Grayscale from a CMYK image in Photoshop (CS4).
That document was then Exported from InDesign as a high print quality PDF.
Now when I open the file in Preview the photo appears on the screen as a "Negative" or "Reversed" image. And if I print the document, it too prints as a "Negative/Reversed" image.
I don't know if this matters but if I send this document in Apple Mail it too previews as a "Negative/Reversed" image.
Other that this photo everything else in the document (text and color logos) displays and prints fine.
Any ideas?

I have exactly the same problem with PDFs containing bitmaps created by Illustrator CS3 (and CS4) -- the bitmap appears as negative.
It has to do with the compression method used for the bitmaps in the Adobe PDF creation. If it is JPEG or JPEG2000 the problem occurs, if it's ZIP or no compression, the image is fine.
If have reported this to Apple as a bug already.
10.6.2 has NOT fixed this behaviour.

How do I reinstall the edit button on my Firefox 4 toolbar; cut, copy, paste, and print?

I recently have been having problems with my Firefox 4 tool bars. Right now, the Edit icons are no longer on the tool bar, specifically Cut, Copy, Paste, and Print. If there were other Edit icons, they too are gone. All the other icons have remained.
I would appreciate it if you could advise me how to reinstall those specific icons.
Also recently, ALL my tool bars, and task and status bar disappeared. This was only in Firefox 4.0; IE 8 was not affected. Clicking F11 did not work. I could not function without them. Then, a short time later, they "automatically" reappeared. I have not idea of why the disappeared or reappeared.
Thank you for any help you can provide.
Sanford A. Berman

You can find the Copy, Paste, and Cut buttons next to Firefox > Edit (and in its sub menu) and in the regular Edit menu on the menu bar (press F10 if the menu bar is hidden).
The buttons next to Firefox > Edit are enabled if there is something to do with them, just like with the toolbar buttons.
You can find the Copy, Paste, and Cut toolbar buttons in the toolbar palette in the Customize window and drag them on a toolbar.
Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"

Preview and print a Crystal report prompted for the sa password

Dear All,
Our customer has Crystal report add-on to be installed. When we Preview and print a Crystal report, we got a window prompted for the sa password. Even we type in a correct password, it still says wrong password...
Every time when I open my report in Crystal Basic 2008 on the server, then go database expert >> My connections >> click + in front of the connection name, it asks my sa password. I type in my password then save and close. Next time when I open the report and go my connections, I have to type in my password again. This only happens on one customer.
Any idea? Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Yuka

Hi Yuka,
1) All their SAP client workstation, they have to have use SQL2008 CD and install SQL Client on it
Correct, MS does NOT support MDAC or WDAC when connecting to SQL 2008.
2) Then go ODBC >> SQL Native Client 10.0 >> Create a new connection to SAP server. Should we use sa user or another use that has the same authorization as sa?
Correct again if they are also using ODBC to connect, as for using the sa account or creating a new one is up to you. I suggest creating a Crystal account with what ever rights your app needs, this way if tracing it turned on etc. you can confirm who is actually running the report.
3) Then from MY Crystal report, I have to use ODBC connection as well?
Just to clarify, if you created your reprots using OLE DB then they can do so also. But you need to update your connection properties. Open each report click on Database, Set Location, scroll down to OLE DB and expand and then choose MS SQL Server Native 10 as your OLE DB provider, fill in all the logon info and then verify the database. Do the same for each subreport also.
Save your report and either send them the new one or if you are doing this remotely then replace the original report.
VERIFY your reports to confirm they still return correct data and do work as expected.
Or if you are using ODBC then yes you do select the MS 10 driver with a new DSN. Then do the above to update the reports to all use ODBC as their data sources.
Hope this is all clear now....
Thanks again

How to read and print a Pdf from Server

Hallo, i need a help. I have some pdf documents on server and i want to allow viewing and printing them from the client. I would like not to have it outside my application cause i don't want client computers have to download adobe reader.. I think that purePDF can help me but i really don't know how to load the stream and put it on display.. Can anyone help me or give me some advices?
Thx for all
Max

The simplest way that I know of would be to use 'navigateToURL()' and let the user to print the pdf from the browser.
Does anyone have the advice on doing this within the Flex app; i.e. without opening a new browser window?

Eventing and Print Jobs

Hey all! I am attempting to write a script that will collect information about print jobs on a print server and write the data to a database. I am trying to get data on print job owner, printer name, whether it was color or grayscale, number of pages and
number of copies.
I am running into a problem finding a method to collect events for print jobs. I have attempted to subscribe to creation and modification events of the Win32_PrintJob class, which is ok but doesn't seem very accurate about details like pages printed
and color/grayscale. I next attempted to respond to these events by using Get-WinEvent each time the event fires and then using the JobId property of the event to scan the PrintService log for matching 307 and 805 events. However, I have found that the Win32_PrintJob
JobId does not seem to match the document id in the event log entries.
I scrapped that idea and instead attempted to collect .NET events for the NTEventLog class but this only seems to work with the traditional logs such as system, security and application.
I suppose I could just scan the event logs on a regular basis and collect print job information that way, but I was really looking to collect and log this info in real time rather than just looping every so often. Has anyone else tried eventing for any of
these classes? Is it possible there is another .NET class I could subscribe to that would provide me with details of incoming print jobs? Am I going about this entirely the wrong way?
Thanks!

Hi Matt,
Maybe you can try the .NET class for printing:
Function Get-PrintJobs
<#
.SYNOPSIS
Return the list of jobs on the current printer
.DESCRIPTION
This function returns a list of pending jobs on the specified print server for a given queue
.PARAMETER ComputerName
Name of the print sever
.PARAMETER Name
Name of the print queue
.EXAMPLE
Get-PrintJobs -ComputerName ps -Name HPLJ5000

$ComputerName,
$Name
Begin
$Host.Runspace.ThreadOptions = "ReuseThread"
if ((Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_OperatingSystem).OSArchitecture -eq '64-bit')
$SystemPrinting = Get-ChildItem "$($env:systemroot)\assembly\GAC_64\System.Printing"
$SystemPrintingFile = Get-ChildItem -Name "*system.printing*" -Recurse -Path $SystemPrinting.FullName
$SystemPrintingFile = "$($SystemPrinting.FullName)\$($SystemPrintingFile)"
else
$SystemPrinting = Get-ChildItem "$($env:systemroot)\assembly\GAC_32\System.Printing"
$SystemPrintingFile = Get-ChildItem -Name "*system.printing*" -Recurse -Path $SystemPrinting.FullName
$SystemPrintingFile = "$($SystemPrinting.FullName)\$($SystemPrintingFile)"
$ErrorActionPreference = "Stop"
Try
Add-Type -Path $SystemPrintingFile
$PrintServer = New-Object System.Printing.PrintServer("\\$($ComputerName)")
$PrintQueue = $PrintServer.GetPrintQueue($Name)
$PrintJobs = $PrintQueue.GetPrintJobInfoCollection()
Catch
Write-Error $Error[0].Exception
Break
Process
End
Return $PrintJobs
