Solaris print queue ordering problem

Hello in my new work I hit following problem.
"unfortunately Solaris does not queue print Jobs according to the time the print command was started, but according to the time when whole print job was finished from the client point of view (== print jobs were copied to spool directory). This way small print job, that was sent after large job, can be in reality printed earlier. This behaviour is new to us, because on other unix systems (BSD / linux) it would behave as expected."
Any hints on how to modify print queue behaviour?

Hi,
What are the problems you have found for sending all the prints to the same queue ?? are these a performance issue ??
so maybe you have to increment the number of report server's engines at your rwserver.conf file:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E15523_01/bi.1111/b32121/pbr_conf002.htm#i1006129
modify attributes minEngine, maxEngine, initEngine

Solaris Print Queue

Dears,
I cannot cancel some old print jobs from a solaris 9 machine, giving the following error.
root@srvr1 # cancel LLCPRN-55243
cannot dequeue LLCPRN-55243
Does it mean that print queue corrupted?
Please advice me in this regard.
Thanks,
Sal.

Hi,
You can use lpadm.

Problem on printer queue

Hi Gurus,
there is a problem on printer queue when the user AAA wants to print an order.
This user can create and print the order. Also if the user set the printer as XXX the System print on the YYY printe. Besides if the user modify a created order he can't print. Probably there is a SAP value set to modify.
Can anybody help me? Can you write me the right steps to solve the problem?
thank you so much
Vallex

Apparently this error was due to the user I was logged in testing with not being an administrator (maybe a power user would have worked as well) in Windows. Upon changing this user to a local admin, I was able to add the printer queue. It does give an alert that "The server for the printer does not have the correct printer driver installed" and that I have to manually install and/or select it.
So, problem solved...mostly. A couple of lingering oddities are that the print queue's status shows "Access denied, unable to connect", rather than "Ready". I seem to be able to print w/o issue, however. Other thing is that I guess I will not be able to use the logon script to ensure the printer queue is connected, due to having to select the proper driver manually. Any thoughts on either of these?
Thx,
FT

How to create HP LaserJet 2420 printer queue on Solaris 10

Hi Solaris Gurus,
I am having difficulty creating a printer queue for HP LaserJet 2420 on Solaris 10 (11/9) Sparc (Sun Fire T5220) server. A popular method used is with hppi (HP Jet Direct) tool but it does not have the exact printer driver and alternative printer drivers (e.g. HP LaserJet 4 / 4M, HP LaserJet 2000 series) resulted in only part of the text occupying the wrong side of an A5 page.
An alternative approach that has worked in the past for simple default paper tray 2 (single paper tray), with tray 1 reserved for manual feed. This method involves creating a working printer queue on a Windows workstation (XP) / server (2000) with the correct driver and having configured to support Unix printing to receive LPR request from Unix systems in general. A remote printer queue would then be defined on Solaris 10 system which points to the Windows system. However, the printing jobs kept going to tray 1 (top manual feed) even though the Windows printer queue was configured to go to tray 3 (bottom tray).
The earlier method would be simplest but needs the right driver (PDD) but I don’t know where to find it. The latter approach is also not working despite having got the right driver on Windows. A test page on the target Windows printer queue would print to tray 3 (bottom tray) of the printer correctly.
Printmgr does not work well with HP printers from experience. It is good for serial and local printers.
Your advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Crystal

Hi Giogio, and welcome to the HP Forums.
I am sorry to be the bearer of this news, but do the age of the printer, it is not supported by Mac OS X 10.9. I am including a list below of the supported printers from Apple:
OS X: Printer and scanner software available for download.
For more information, I would recommend contacting the Apple Support Communities.

Problem with local users printing to the printer queue

We have just upgraded our servers to 2.8GHz Quad-core Intel Xeon which is running OS X 10.5.6
I have set up the printer queue to the network printers, through LPD.
Open directory users are able to print to the network printers without any problem however when a user local user to a machine (all 10.5.6 but different models) are not able to print.
The printer pauses and does not print.
Any solutions?

Hi there,
I am not quite sure of your setup based on your posting so apologies if my reply is not appropriate.
Are you saying that when the Mac attempts to print directly to the network printer (rather than via a queue created by selecting an Open Directory printer) the printer queue pauses?
If yes, then I would ensure that the LPD protocol was selected and the correct queue name was entered - as this can often cause the spooler to pause.

Bizarre solution for OfficeJet Pro K5300 problem when Word docs hang in the print queue spooling

A bizarre solution to a spooling problem.
Problem:
Word documents sent to an HP Officejet Pro K5300 Series printer hang in the print queue, saying “spooling”. They do not print, and cannot even be cancelled.
Solution (Bizarre Solution).
The solution that worked for me was to rename the printer by removing the first space after “HP” in the printer’s name. When I did this, Word could then print to the printer. If the space is then re-inserted back into the printer-name then Word is still able to print!! I don’t know how, but it worked, and it worked on two separate installations! The full explanation is below with more options for testing that still need to be explored, or preferably explained by HP and or Microsoft.
First here is some background. My computer is an IBM NetVista 2.4GHz, P4. It has a 250GB HDD with lots of room and 2GB of RAM. My operating system is Win XP Pro with Service Pack 3. My anti-Virus in Trend Micro Internet Security 2009, updated regularly, (I turned it off while installing the printer software). I use Office Professional 97, with Office SP2b).
I bought a new HP Officejet Pro K5300 printer.
I installed the printer software, and followed HP’s directions strictly. I used the installation CD that was supplied by HP. My connection to the printer was USB.
The installation proceeded uneventfully and I printed a test page after it finished.
After that I printed a configuration page, then I printed a couple of photographs using Irfan View. The quality was great and I was pleased.
Then I tried to print a 2-page Word document, using Word 97, but nothing happened. No response from the printer, no error messages, just silence. I clicked on the printer icon on the task bar to look at the print queue and saw that my document was listed as “Spooling”, but it was not making any progress. I waited a couple of minutes but still no progress. I tried canceling it but it would not cancel/delete. The job on the queue would not respond to anything. I could not print it and I could not cancel it. The only way I could recover was to shut down Word, which flushed the queue and lost the job.
I tried this a few more times but with no success.
I did a Google search for this problem, and I found a few solutions. I tried them, but none worked. I checked HP’s website and found this problem listed, with some solutions from HP. I tried HP’s solutions, but they did not work either. In fact, when there was a Word document stuck “spooling” in the queue, HP’s diagnostic utility said that it could not even communicate with the printer, and suggested that my USB connection was bad. However, when I flushed the queue by shutting down Word, I could successfully send a Test Page to the printer, and I could print a detailed PDF from Adobe. So Word was the problem, not my USB connection.
After a pondering this problem over the next few days, and keeping in mind the fact that the default HP printer-name was “HP Officejet Pro K5300 Series”, I remembered that many years ago I could not get an Excel VB macro to select a printer, and print to it, if the printer-name had any spaces in it. I had noticed that the HP default printer name had 4 spaces in it, so I wondered what would happen if I renamed the printer by removing the spaces from its name.
So I renamed the printer to “HPOfficejetProK5300Series” (no spaces), and voila! Word could now print to it!
Then I wondered, if it was necessary to remove all of the spaces from the name, or just some of them, to get the printer to work, so I renamed the printer back to it’s default name in 4 stages, at each stage re-inserting one of the original spaces, and testing the printing. At each stage the printer kept successfully printing from Word, until I had re-inserted all four spaces and the printer’s name was back to being identical to the default name that it was installed with, but now it would print from Word on command.
So why was it that Word could not get the printer to print with the printer’s default installed name, but if I removed all of the spaces from the printer’s name, then re-inserted them, the printer would print from Word every time?
So I did another test.
I uninstalled the entire printer software package and installed the updated Full Feature software package, filename “OJProK5X00_Full_8_3.exe”, 159MB download from HP.
After the package was installed, Word could NOT print to the printer, but other programs like Adobe PDF reader, and Irfan View, could print to it. I tried each software package about three times each, with consistent results.
I then renamed the printer, but this time I just removed the first space after the letters “HP”, i.e., I changed the printer’s name from “HP Officejet Pro K5300 Series” to “HPOfficejet Pro K5300 Series”. After I did that Word could then print to it. I then changed the printer’s name back to “HP Officejet Pro K5300 Series” by re-inserting the first space, and Word could still print to it now.
I challenge someone from HP to read this and explain why Word won’t print to this printer until I rename the printer by removing a space, but can still print to it after the space is re-inserted!
Of course, there is another alternative. Perhaps I could have renamed the printer by removing or changing any of the other characters, instead of the spaces. But each test involves completely uninstalling and re-installing the software, and I have better things to do with my time.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

What an amazing solution!
I recently purchased an HP Deskjet F4580 and had discovered that when using Word 97, it would print OK when using the Print icon but when trying to print using File->Print->choose page number or current page, Word would crash. Excel, Adobe etc would all print fine. I have spend many hours removing and then reloading the HP software and Office Professional software but this solution fixed the problem in a few minutes. PC is running XP Home SP3.
Just one thing I would add is that my computer has two accounts - one is the Computer Administrator account and the other is a Limited account. When I took out the space between HP and Deskjet so the printer became HPDeskjet F4500 series, I could then print from the Administrator account using either the print icon or File->Print->choose page number or current page. When I switched to the Limited account, I would get the same crash when I tried File->Print->choose page number or current page (OK with icon). The Limited account mode does not allow the printer to be re-named.
I went back to Admin mode, re-classified the Limited account as a Computer Administrator account, logged on to this account and re-named the printer (in this case I took out another space so it became HPDeskjetF4500 series. Then it printed fine using the print icon or using File->Print->choose page number or current page. I then went back to the Computer Administrator account, re-named the printer to HPDeskjet F4500 and re-classified the second account back to Limited account mode. Now printing OK in both Computer Administrator account mode and Limited account mode.
Thanks again!

Problem in printing process order.

Hi dudes,
Our users are taking print of process order after release status and then the goods movements will be carried out manually. There is a problem with some orders belongs to one material where the some of components in process order are not getting printed. one or two are missing.
Please suugest is there any note related to the specified issue
Robert

Dear,
Pick list is sorted on material number and not on item num ber, hence you may see that difference.
Some of the materials may not come if the final issue tick is active.
The process order can be printed in COR2 screen itself.(Ctrl+P
But for the preview after printing, you can view the spools created in SP01.
Transction code : CB85
Maintain the parameters from order type PI01.
Please refer this thread also,

Have to hit Resume in Print Queue in order to print

This is an odd one -- one that I've only encountered on one machine so far...
When the client prints something, from any application, the Print Queue will load and show the document in the queue, but never goes ahead and prints.
If the client clicks the Resume icon in the Print Queue, it prints.
I feel silly posting this. I feel like I'm missing something obvious. However, I haven't seen this problem on any of the other machines that were upgraded to OS X 10.5 -- similar Macbooks printing to the same printers.
What could be causing this?
I've checked/tried the obvious things:
- restarting (of course )
- ensuring the print queue isn't paused / stopped
- removing/re-adding the printer
Basically, the Print Queue is getting the document to be printed, and instead of proceeding with the print is waiting for me to hit the Resume icon to confirm I want to print.
The client doesnt want that extra step. What am I missing?

Would Archive and Install be the best option, then?

Print Queue Jobs print out of order

It seems that jobs that have been sent to the printer queue print in an order other than the order they were submitted. It is most often evident when I print several photos from iPhoto, but I have also seen it happen from other applications.
Is it possible the queue is selecting jobs by size?
If so, How can I change the printing order so that they are printed in the order that they were submitted?
Thank you in advance.

Myself, I'd use GraphicConverter and it's powerful Browse Folder & various Print capabilities...

Printer queue problem

when I issue command
% lpstat -p all
prt1 is faulted, ................ . system not responding
So when I try to print "test" file to that printer using
% lp -d prt1 test
[id is prt1-023456 & today is "Jun 30"]
then I check lp status by issuing
% lpstat -o
prt1-012345 .............. May 21 123456 finished printing
prt1-023456 .............. Jun 30 123
There is nothing print out. When I issue
% cancel prt1-012345
cancel prt2-012345 done
It is too late to cancel that queue.
Then I cancel all the print queue and reset the print server and disable/enable the prt1, the problem still cannot be solved.
My question are
1. Why the printing for last month (May 21) still appear in the lpstat -o command.
2. What is going on to the print queue and why my test file cannot come out.
3. How to solve that problem.

Thanks for the suggestions. I did the upgrade to OS x Lion thinking that the problem would be solved with a fresh install of the operating system. It was partially fixed. I have 2 printers on my home wireless network. I can print normally using an old HP G55 printer and a generic hp printer driver. For the other printer, an new hp photosmart D110a, I can scan just fine from the print & scan utility. However when I try to print I get the error message: "/Library/Printers/hp/cups/Inkjet1.driver/Contents/MacOS/Inkjet1 failed"
What does that message mean? I have tried reseting the printers, getting fresh updates from Apple, and adding the printers back. I can use the old printer, but it is frustrating because the hp photosmart used to work just fine with 10.6.

Problem printing production order.

Hi guys
this is my first post. i have a problem printing production orders.when i give a print. its printing only 2 or 3 line.what should i do to add some more information to my production order.and where can i view the print preview of my production order.

Hi,
The production order can be printed in CO02 screen itself.(Ctrl+P). To define what to be printed, you need to identify/define the correct list in the transaction OPK8. Once the correct combination is selected for the required plant and order type, this can be printed in production order.
But for the preview after printing, you can view the spools created in SP01.
Or T code CO04N or CO04 is meant for printing production orders
Need to do the setting in OPK8
First check the configutaion link below and then come back.

Print problem: Appleworks and Print Queue Constipation

Let me start by saying that I have had this problem intermittently on my own computer, and now my mother has it on hers. My computer is wicked fast and loaded, hers is a basic iMac17" G4. I strongly suspect that the problem only occurs with Appleworks, but I may be wrong.
So the problem is this. When I try to print, the item goes to the print queue, and then the job stops. The printer icon shows up in the dock with a red exclamation point. The job stays in the queue. In the printer queue dialog box, you can click on the "start jobs" icon, and the icon will change to the "stop jobs" icon..... but within seconds the icon will revert back to saying "start Jobs."
At this point, I have a problem that is hard to eliminate. Cleaning out the queue is not enough to make the computer behave. I do a variety of things like a restart, unplugging the usb, unplugging the power cord to the printer, etc. Eventually things get better, and I am never sure what thing I did fixed it.
This has happened only rarely on my computer, so I have not gotten too excited. But it is chronic on my Mom's, so I spent hours doing varouis disk fixing programs and dumping the printers preference files and making sure she has the latest driver (it is an Epson C88). None of that works. (incidentally, I have various printers, including an Epson R320, not sure it that printer is always the culprit on my computer).
I thought I had her problem solved when I made her go to the Page Setup dialog every time and make sure her Epson printer is selected there before printing. But today she said the problem reoccured, even doing as I suggested.
She can print from every other program. She can print to PDF and open that PDF in Preview and print from that. But that is an awkward workaround for an older woman who is scared of her computer to begin with.
So... any ideas. I scoured this forum and couldn't find anything that I hadn 't already tried

Peter,
More a guess than anything else, but I'd suspect a corrupted preferences file.
See Peggy's tip "AppleWorks has stopped working correctly" here:

Can't print- 27" 2013 iMac-my epson stylus 3800 pro will not print-i updated driver n added printer in syst prefs-When i print the printer queue opens and shows the job as "stopped"-Supply level "information is not available"-maybe part of problem...thx

I can't print from my 27" late 2013 iMac. I am using an epson stylus 3800 pro. I updated driver and added printer in system preferences. When i print the printer queue opens and shows the job as "stopped". Supply level shows "information is not available which maybe part of problem...thank you

The first thing you could try is a reset of the printing system. Please note that this action will remove all printers and scanners from the Printers & Scanners preference pane.
With the reset complete, unplug the Epson USB cable from the Mac for a minute and then reconnect it. This action should result in the printer being added again to the Mac automatically. If this does happen, then see if you can print again.
If the printer is not added again automatically, open Printers & Scanners and click the plus button to add the Epson. Once this is done, then see if you can print again.
