Some clients print, some don't

Server is PPC running OS X Server 10.4.11.
Clients are OS X 10.4.11 or 10.5.
Users are enabled for print in WGM, Server Admin says Print Services are on.
Epson printer is connected to the server.
Some of the clients can print to the shared printer. Some cannot. In one case, a user has two installations of the Mac OS X on one machine, each on a separate disk. For some work, the user boots OS X 10.4, for other work he boots 10.5. The 10.4 install can print, the 10.5 cannot.
I have deleted and added the printers several times. I can see a printer with the correct name in the browser, it adds but sending it a print job is not received by the print service.
User logon is the same for both installations.
All suggestions, links and WAG's warmly encouraged.

Sorry I can't provide a better answer than the others but think for a second.
Think about your customers' motivations for copying instead of calling you.
Try to imagine what's in their minds. "Why should I call the photographer and pay him for prints when I can do it myself?"
You have two options:
1) Use technical means to prevent them from doing it.
2) Provide them something that they can't get anywhere else.
You can use Digimarc. You can visibly watermark. You can use some software scheme to encrypt files or make them difficult to copy. You can probably do 100 different things. But you still haven't addressed the main question.
What can you do that would make them WANT to call you back?
What can you do that provides them with a service that they can't do themselves?
I don't know what you can do because I don't know your skills. I don't know what equipment you have. I don't know the nature of your business. However, let me make some general suggestions.
Can you provide "giant" hi-res prints?
How about picture packages?
Memory books? DVD slide shows? Graphic design?
I don't know... My suggestions are probably lame. But I'm trying to say that you should try to do something that people really want and that they would willingly pay for.
Long story short: Let's apply some lateral thinking.

HP UPD 5.3 - some clients print garbage

Server: Windows 2008 R2 SP1.
Clients: XP SP3.
Yesterday I upgraded from HP UPD PS 5.2.6.9321 to 5.3.1.10527. This morning I find out that tons of users are now printing "garbage". This garbage is actually raw PostScript code from all types of applications. The kicker to this problem
is that it appears to be PC and/or user based. For example, WorkstationA prints out garbage but WorkstationB prints just fine -- they both are using the same queue on the print server. Deleting all HP printers from the client and
re-installing from the print server does not fix it. If I change the print driver on the print server for the problem queue from HP Universal Printing PS (v5.3) to HP Universal Printing PS (v5.2), then the XP clients can print just fine again.
I've contacted HP and found out that other clients are reporting this problem too. Awesome.
While I wait for HP to investigate/resolve the problem, what would cause some XP clients to print raw postscript while others work fine?

Dear Customer,
Thank you for posting here!
After reading your post, I still have a few questions not very clear. Please let me know some information as below:
1. Please capture a screenshot and send it to the me([email protected]).
I appreciate your time and cooperation. If anything is unclear, please feel free to let me know. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

I'm trying to print some pictures in iPhoto but a error message apears in the screen saying that there is no theme installed and I need to have some theme installed. I don't know how to do that. Need help.

I'm trying to print some pictures in iPhoto but a error message apears in the screen saying that there is no theme installed and I need to have some theme installed. I don't know how to do that. Need help.

Reinstall iPhoto.
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

Version 10.1.3 misses printing some lines. Is anyone else having this problem?

Using Adobe Reader X version 10.1.3 it misses printing some lines but prints perfectly with version 8.1.2. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

I always match the entire project to the footage so this problem doesn't happen.
I have an after effects project dynamically linked to the project. I think that may be causing the problem somehow, although that is also a 1440 project.
Again, I had no problems before. I've done 10+ projects for this client with the same settings and am only now having problems.
I never recommend shooting in 1440, but that is what they wanted for whatever reason. Always 1920x1080p or 1280x720p.

Group Policy not work in some client machine.

Hello All,
Existing environment is AD 2012. gpupdate /force command does not working in some client machine. And it's occur randomly. Error shown about 15-20% of client machine. Please suggest. Hopefully this time get reply from community.
The Error:

Thanks for your reply. basically this error occurs with in same location as well as branch location. i have check event log in AD but not got any specific error. AD health status is ok. AD to AD synchronization also working well. All the client machine running
on windows 7 64 bit and few of them are windows 8.
Please suggest. if you need any event log for analysis i can send you.
Thanks
I recommend you examine the event logs upon an affected client machine. Specifically, look for the surrounding events on that machine (both System, and Application logs), for the hours previous and the hour after.
The time period may vary according to your environment (e.g. what is expected/normal for your environment, your configured GP refresh cycle-time).
e.g., are there network drops, or power drops, or system crashes, restarts at the similar time.
if it's a laptop, is it wireless? Was there a transition from wireless to wired operation?
Is there VPN in use?
If you are able to compare with another machine (I would encourage that), to understand what "normal" looks like in the logs, so that you have some kind of baseline data for comparison.
Other checks, maybe confirm that the machines are updating as required (have the relevant WindowsUpdates etc), and consider if some security/protection/firewall software might be interfering with normal Windows operations.
Also the potential for malware or virus, which can disturb many basic services (ensure a scan is performed and returns clean).
If you have the opportunity for an affected user to contact you urgently when the symptom occurs, check that the gpt.ini file is accessible from their PC.
e.g.: \\example.net\sysvol\example.net\Policies\{31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB
984F9}\gpt.ini
This file is hosted within the replicated SYSVOL share on your DC's, so check that it is accessible.
You might also validate the particular GPO this refers to, and check each of your DC's holds the correct copy of the files for that GPO GUID.
If you open that GPO, and perform a minor change to it (e.g. add a comment), then click Apply, OK, this should cause the GPO contents to replicate an updated version (be cautious, depending upon the nature of that GPO !!!)

Problem with printing some report

hi very body
we have some problems with printing some reports.
the problem is when printing a report the computer processes stoped
and i should restart the computer a gain to print the report for first time and
then in the second time i have same problem.

Maher,
You can check out the new printer driver test utility verions2.0 on OTN at:
http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/reports/files/printerdrivertest.zip
This should help you determine if it is a printer problem or whether you should look into another area.
Also, you don't mention which version of reports, what command line options your using, the computer
configuration your using whether it is a network printer or local printer connected to the machine. Support
will need this information to help determine where your problem lies.

Some clients are not receiving my mail attachments.

Some clients are not receiving my mail attachments. Other recipients of the same email DO receive these attachments. It doesn't matter whether it is a jpg, pdf, doc, or other. Sending from gmail or entourage works, only sending from apple mail is a problem. This has been an ongoing problem for me in Lion and Snow Leopard. I'm new to this forum, so not sure I'm posting in the right area, but I've searched for an answer and can't find anything. Do I need a plug-in or something? I like my apple mail and don't want to switch, but this is a real problem for me. Help, please!

We have the same problem in Snow Leopard, so the problem isn't new. I've been researching this for a while now. Based on what I've read in a whole load of discussions it seems it's an issue in the way Outlook reads the e-mails send by Apple Mail. I've no idea of the technicalities of this but one obvious difference is that Mail's default formatting is Rich Text and Outlook's is HTML, but what do I know.
We've done variuos test with our PC based clients but with no success: Send as Icon; Window's friendly attachement; Mail Attachement Iconiser, etc. Nothing gets rid of the problem entirely. We're a Mac based Public Relations agency and we send image to the media all of the time...and we have no guarantees that they are getting through.
It's frustrating that Mail doesn't have an option, as it does for plain text, to send in an outlook friendly way. To me it's a huge problem and if Apple isn't going to sort it, given that Outlook is the choice of Enterprise and 95% of our clients, then we're going to have to spend thousands and switch to Outlook. Apple have gone to great pains to promote cross-compatibility with PC's and perhaps this is one little example of where they could try harder.
Mail has not had much obvious love and attention for a while and if there's an Apple employee looking in on this thread, perhaps it's time to love it up, give it a few more bells and whistles (without over-complicating of course) and make it sing with Outlook.
My last attenpt is to try Thunderbird as a default mail client; I'm told it doesn't suffer from the same PC compatibility issues.

Add-on won't run on some clients

As soon as an add-on users de DI SDK, it crashes at startup on some systems and I don't know why.
I'm using the DI Basic Operations example that came with the SDK. I build it, and used the SAP B1 SDK setup .NET Wizard to create the installer and licence file. The istallation goes fine, but the addon itself crashes. with a useless "the program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down" error message (see below)
I also tried other ways to run the add-on (among others directly from visual studio or from the command line, with the developer licence number as argument) but allways with the same result. At one system all goes well, at the other a crash occurs even before the debugging can start.
I have no idea what this error message is trying to tell me:
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80040154): COM object with CLSID {A355004F-AAB4-41D3-BDE0-7EAED1ED5FFF} is either not valid or not registered.

   at System.Windows.Forms.ControlNativeWindow.WndProc(Message& m)
   at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam)
Most of the time however, I get a much less helpfull error saying there was some unidentified illegal operation.
Something that is possibly related is a problem with the references. On a PC where the add-on crashes I don't have the SAP DI as reference in the .NET and COM tabs, only the SAP UI. When I open an example the DI reference is reporting an error (not found) , but when I add the reference as a file, all is well. (The project now compiles with no errors or warnings, it still crashes when I start it.
The problem already occured when only SBO was installed (which should be sufficient to run the add-on? You don't need to have the SDK installed I presume). I installed the SDK and later even Visual Studio, but this didn't help.
I've reinstalled SBO several times (I even deleted the sbo program files directory before installing SBO again) but this didn't change anything.
(I'm using 2004a)
Does anyone know what could cause this problem?

I know that, but that didn't help.
Is there any way to find out which versions of the DI API a SBO client is currently using?
We've re-installed the clients and DI API using the shared folder on the server, but that didn't help. (maybe some old dll was locked and couldn't be removed (without any notice of that happening) and is still being used?)
One system indeed didn't have the DI API installed and the problem was solved a bit (my own plug-in now works fine, but the "DI basic operations" example of the SDK crashes when connecting to a company database.)
We've now got 3 machines running my add-on without any problems (the server and 2 notebooks) and 1 notebook who won't run my add-on at all.
The DI basic operations Example of the SDK won't run on any of the notebooks, only on the server.
On one notebook it crashes when I click "choose company DB" (which should give me a list of available companies) on the other notebook it crashes when I try to connect to a (any) specific company database and on the third notebook it gives an empty list and won't connect to anything (but doesn't crahs)
this is all 100% reproducable.
All machines run the SBO client and UI add-ons perfectly, only the DI seems to cause problems.
another weird problem that might be related, is that I need to compile my add-on as "debug". When I compile it as "release", it won't run on any of the notebooks, only on the server.

I hope someone can point me in the right direction.

Wow. It's been a long, long time since I've seen CR throw error: no error (like v. 4.5 or so...). Used to chuckle about it - I think I even saved a screenshot of it
It will be good to have more info on this:
Win or web app?
Printer used.
Printer driver name and version.
The reports that do not work throw the error consistently?
Code used to print the reports.
Is this a threaded app?
Do you get the issue printing from the viewer?
Do you get the issue printing from the designer viewer?

Custom Control Doesn't Load On Some Clients

I have a LightSwitch application developed in Visual Studio 2012 that has been in production for several years without any major issues. The application has a custom control that has been included in the app from the very beginning. The app uses Silverlight
5.
I recently made a change and re-deployed the application to the server. This is not the first change deployed since the app was released. The custom control no longer renders when running the app on some clients. Not all clients are affected.
This is only a problem when running the app from the production server. When I run the app from the development server, the custom control renders without any issues on all clients.
When the app runs from the production server, I get the following in place of the custom control:
How do I get the control to render when running the app from the production server?
Thank you,

I recently updated to io6 and ran into FB notification not sounding. So I decided to do a backup like I have done many of times. Well doing this all my custom tones went by by...Never changing anything in itunes. They worked fine up until I restored. I did all the trouble shooting steps like normal for my custom tones. Re-synched and so on. text goes off...nothing, changed to a default tone worked fine then change back to custom tone worked, except for purchased tones those still don't work. I re-purchase one tone I already bought and now works fine. All are working again accept the original problem of the notification tone for FB still not working.

WHY DOES MY HP PRINTER (TAKES A #78 COLOUR CARTRIDGE) PRINT SOME DOCUMENTS IN RUSSIAN??

Please could someone tell me why my HP printer prints some documents in RUSSIAN?? (don't know model - but it takes a #78 colour cartridge)
The documents are not type of format and are in English when on my computer screen!!!!
H-E-L-P PLEASE?????

Hi, we really need to know what model printer you have. You can find this on the cartridge door or on the label located on either the bottom or back of the printer.

PS CS4 wants a printer installed even though I can print some files.

I have PS CS4 on Windows 7. I can print some files but not all. On the ones that I can't print PS is telling me I need to install a printer 1st even though I can printer others. I have tried to rasterize and/or flatten the files and it still says the same thing. I have created a new preferences file, by renaming the old in my program files, and it still does the same thing. I have also printed the same photos in Microsoft Picture Viewer. So, the printer can see the file and print it. It's a Brother MFC 9460cdn. I've used the troubleshooting guide thus far and done all i thought or seemed pertinant - except.... As a newbie, I've not not figured out how to create a new file to copy the rasterized, or layers for that matter, to a new project. I can't seem to figure out size settings and duplicating. These are files that came with a business and for some reason only about half will print the other are stuck needing a printer installed...LOL
Please HELP
Thank you,

Hi timcasey-
I recommend you read this Support article on troubleshooting printing issues:
[[Firefox prints incorrectly]]
Hope that helps.

Print some time error witch WSD

WSD for print server but some time jobs sent to printer show error when client printing
I'm tried delete jobs on server and but same issue anyone help this issue
Thanks

Are physical printers setup using a hostname or static IP? If the devices are configured with DHCP and the clients connect using an IP address, and the device has obtained a new address then this is expected.

Not to print some of fields in alv

Hi ,
           I am displaying report with ALV grid using,
           'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'.
           My requirement is that I don't want to print some fields which are appering in grid display.
           Is there any field exists to maintain by which printing of some of fields could be avoided ?
Thanks in advance.
Amit

hi,
in the field catalog there is a field no_out, set this to 'X' for each of the fields you do not want to display.
Eg: loop at i_fieldcatalog into ws_fcat.
        case ws_fcat-fieldname.
         when 'MEINS'.
                  ws_fcat-no_out = 'X'.
         when 'LTEXT'.
                  ws_fcat-no_out = 'X'.
       endcase.
       modify i_fieldcatalog from ws_fcat.
       clear ws_fcat.
     endloop.
regards
Subramanian

SUS - Some Clients Take a Long Time to Check for Updates

We have the newest XSERVE, running 10.6, with 12GB of RAM. We use it as our software update server and for some reason, some clients take a long time to check for updates. I'm talking anywhere from an 30 mins to an hour. I can't figure it out. Some clients are quick, some are extremely long.
Now if I tell the client to just check Apple for updates, it takes a few seconds.
Can anyone offer any suggestions?
Thanks.

After another restart, firefox has begun throwing errors when starting from terminal. the error reported is:
/opt/kde/bin/skim: error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
This is printed 5 times, then gives up and firefox loads quickly after. So this appears to be an issue with skim and libpng similar to other problems being reported.
Some research uncovered that skim is no longer supported and is part of my kdemod3 install, however until this update it was working fine under kdemod4.

Some clients print, some don't
