Switching to Arch: Outstanding issue w/ printing

I've spent the last six months or so switching to Arch and intel (from OS X/Debian and ppc). I did think I was getting there but I've got stuck on some issues which seem small in some ways but are really problematic given the kind of work I need to do. Part of the problem is that I don't know where to start trying to diagnose or solve them.
I currently have three such issues. One has to do with getting my internal mic to work in usable fashion. The second is to do with the use of external monitors (e.g. for LCD projection). The third is the one which is really, really problematic. When it really matters, I can use one of the university's windows boxes for the mic. And the external monitor is manageable because it works and only causes issues on disconnect. But the third I have no work around for and I'm getting kind of desperate.
Generally speaking, printing works fine. My machine is set up to use a number of different printers: a Dell networked printer on my home LAN, an HP in my office via USB and another HP via USB in another office I work in. Printing is generally fast and good quality.
There are two problems. First, printing periodically gets "stuck" and the only way to get it unstuck is to kill all jobs in the queue, disconnect the printer, switch the printer off and then restart, reconnect and reprint everything. Even this is not impossible. I can get everything printed - it is just a question of figuring out what hasn't printed and remembering to recheck everything each time the printer stalls.
Second, certain documents print so slowly that it is, in practice, impossible to actually print them. I'm not sure what is special about these documents. Usually this happens with PDF files but it is certainly not all PDF files. It affects any which contain graphics but it also affects a lot which do not. Other PDFs print extremely fast.
For example, I am currently trying to print a PDF version of a paper. The job was sent at 18:42:37 BST. It is now 19:16 BST and it has so far managed to print 6 sides (3 pages). I'm printing it from acroread because it refused to print at all from Okular or the command line. This particular PDF is an older JSTOR file and these often seem to be affected. Recent stuff from JSTOR prints fine but older archives do not.
pdfinfo for the file gives:

acroread's properties for the document suggests that the non-embedded fonts are being substituted. For example, Arial MT is being used in place of Helvetica and Times New Roman PS MT is being substituted for Times.
Here's the command being run from ps:

Any sort of insight or suggestion will be gratefully received and I am more than happy to post further information if somebody tells me what is relevant. I've enabled debugging info in CUPS but I'm not sure what might be of interest and there is a lot of output.
I'm looking for, ideally, a solution which will allow me to just print (preferably solving both problems but at least the second). A second best outcome would be some sort of work around which would allow me to convert these files or something and then print them. (But convert to what?) Failing either of those, I am definitely interested in knowing what I might read, inspect or experiment with.
Given that printing other files works just fine, there must be something about how CUPS is handling files with some particular characteristics, mustn't there? I just have no idea which characteristics of the files are relevant or what it is doing. "I didn't manage to read the/your paper because Linux doesn't like older PDFs" just doesn't sound like a good excuse...

Do you mean am I using cups or something else or do you mean to configure the printers or something else?
I usually use the web interface to configure the printers for cups. I'm using the "recommended" HP drivers for the HP printers (and I think I'm using a proprietary ppd for the Dell printer from Dell but I use that printer much less than the others and not for printing these sorts of files).
I see the same problem with an HP LaserJet 1320 and a P3010 series (I think it is a 3015).
I discovered that if I switch to a gutenprint driver things are better for at least some JSTOR files on the 1320 but I still have issues. For some reason, it doesn't then want to print the last page (no matter how many pages there are) and this driver can only print at 600dpi and has fewer options. The printer is waiting for more data but cups thinks everything has been sent successfully. If I resend the last page to the printer, I then get two copies but one prints much later than the other. I assume this is another way in which something to do with the spooling or the way that cups sends data to the printer is going wrong and maybe connected with why printers get "stuck". Aside from the slowness issue there is definitely something not quite right about the communication between computer and printer. It is as though cups has two speeds: super quick (spools so fast the printer can't keep up); and super slow.
I've tried printing problematic PDFs from at least Okular, acroread and using lp on the command line.
I don't understand how the suggestion concerning converting them to png is supposed to work. Do you convert each page to a separate png file? I guess you could script it but it still seems like a convoluted process. (And I assume it rules out double-sided printing.)

***FONT ISSUES: How do I create a font repository/server??? ***

Before I explain my font problem, let me first say that I hope that SOMEONE out there/here has good knowledge of fonts, (storage/management/etc.) and can take the time to help me out with my problem. I'd be ETERNALLY grateful for a solution to this problem!! Let me also explain the workflow setup I am coming from. I work at a production company that has 3 edit suites, accessing media from a SAN, managed by FibreJet software. We are running Apple Mac Pro's with 2 x 3 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon chips, and 8 GB 667 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM memory. The 3 stations can have READ access to any one drive on the SAN at the same time with no problem, but only one station at a time can have WRITE access to a drive. We each have our own fonts (~2500) on our local systems, and we are all using Extensis Suitcase Fusion 12.1.6 to manage our fonts.
Over the past few months, a couple of projects have reminded us that we have to address a problem in the way we manage our fonts. A project was started in Edit 1 (E1). Footage was loaded, music added and graphics created all in E1. The graphics were made in the Title 3D generator. Near the end of the project, a change had to be made and the original editor and edit suite (E1) was unavailable, so another editor needed to make the change in E2. This is a workflow that we use all the time, and usually don't have a problem. However, this time, when the graphic change was made, either the font that was originally used was missing from E2, or it was not activated. In either case, FCP simply substituted another font in it's place. Unlike Photoshop, FCP does not give any warning when this happens, it just changes the font, so unless you are familiar with the project, you may not know that the change occurred.
As I said, these problems have reminded us that we have to address a problem in the way we manage our fonts. One solution I have thought of would be to consolidate all our fonts onto one of our SAN media drives, and always read that drive. We would then add fonts from this drive, instead of adding from our individual local drives, and hopefully avoiding the "font-switch" problem in the future.
Questions arise, such as: Will Extensis read a font from a SAN drive, or does it have to be local? Will there be a problem with the fact that the drive will be READ only, as opposed to having WRITE access, since all three of us cannot write to the same drive at the same time? Should we just use Apple's own FontBook, instead of Extensis Suitcase, or do we even look into something like Linotype's FontExplorer X, (which I stumbled upon during searches for solutions to our problem)?
If anyone has any answers to my questions, or any solutions we haven't thought of, I'd be very grateful for your help!

Will Extensis read a font from a SAN drive, or does it have to be local?
Here's a bit of information on a SAN setup.
Storage Area Network (SAN) is a high-speed subnetwork of shared storage devices. A storage device is a machine that contains nothing but a disk or disks for storing data. A SAN's architecture works in a way that makes all storage devices available to all servers on a LAN or WAN. As more storage devices are added to a SAN, they too will be accessible from any server in the larger network. In this case, the server merely acts as a pathway between the end user and the stored data.
Because stored data does not reside directly on any of a network's servers, server power is utilized for business applications, and network capacity is released to the end user.
So as I understand it, your Mac's will all see data on a SAN drive array the same as it would a drive that is part of any LAN or WAN. In other words, if activating fonts from a drive on a typical server works, then doing so from a SAN should work the same.
That said, I've never had the opportunity to try it. The easiest way to find out would be to simply drag some fonts into Suitcase that you know are on the SAN storage and see if the activate as you would expect. An issue that may come up is that multiple users may not be able to activate the same fonts at the same time. That wouldn't specifically be a write issue since Suitcase doesn't need to perform a write when opening fonts (other than to update the font cache files on the local drive), but rather if the server considers the files "locked" (in use) to the first user to access them. All depends on how the server is set up, or how Suitcase handles fonts it currently has active. That is, will the server lock the files, or Suitcase, if either?
One solution I have thought of would be to consolidate all our fonts onto one of our SAN media drives, and always read that drive. We would then add fonts from this drive, instead of adding from our individual local drives, and hopefully avoiding the "font-switch" problem in the future.
That would be my first suggestion whether you can read simultaneously read the fonts from the SAN drive or not. I imagine each project is kept in its own folder. Within that, all fonts should be kept together in a single subfolder. An obvious name for that folder is good, such as "Fonts_jobnumber". If Suitcase and/or the server will allow all of you to access the same fonts at the same time, just activate them from the SAN. If not, copy the fonts to your local drive first and then activate.
Should we just use Apple's own FontBook, instead of Extensis Suitcase, or do we even look into something like Linotype's FontExplorer X, (which I stumbled upon during searches for solutions to our problem)?
Font Book is a very weak font manager. It's only advantage in a case like this is that every font you open gets copied to the local drive into one of the two Fonts folder you can designate in its preferences. Then you're always opening the fonts locally. The bad part is that when you use hundreds or thousands of fonts, they all get copied to your Mac as you add fonts. This increases startup times, sometimes dramatically as Font Book has to check all of those fonts during startup against its database to see which should be active and which not. The larger that database gets, the more likely it is to get corrupted.
Suitcase is a far more elegant solution for heavy font usage since you can activate fonts in place. They don't need to be copied anywhere to use them. FontExplorer X can be set up to do the same thing. Depending on what features of Suitcase you use, you may still prefer it over FontExplorer X, even though the latter is free.

Changing the field content of 'wrbtr' in accounting document during Post Goods Issue in VL02N

Hi Experts,
     I have requirement ,where I need to change the 'amount in document currency value (wrbtr)' in line item of a accounting document, which is created as part Post Goods issue through VL02N.
          I have already check BADI's below as follows:-.
1) LE_SHP_GOODSMOVEMENT- No accounting document information flows in this BADI.
2) AC_DOCUMENT - Field 'WRBTR' is not available in substitutable fields list.
3) BTE-1050 - This BTE is not getting triggered while doing PGI.
        Please suggest any other possibilities to make the change.
Thanks & Regards,
Suganth.

Hi Kartik,
            I have checked the enhancement you specified, but it didn't trigger during PGI. Can u please let me know is there any other possibilities to make the change.
Thanks

Issue with DataApp Sample in JavaFX.

Okay so I downloaded the Samples pack here http://jdk8.java.net/download.html or here http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html at the bottom.
Inside is one called DataApp which requires setting up an SQL DB, and connecting to it.
In Netbeans8 I get an error about not having RestLib api inside the DataAppClient which according to the setup DataAppClient - The JavaFX 2.0 client application. inside there you can see a package with packages that wont import such as
import com.sun.jersey.api.client.Client;
import com.sun.jersey.api.client.UniformInterfaceException;
import com.sun.jersey.api.client.WebResource;
import com.sun.jersey.api.json.JSONConfiguration;
So why am I in a Java 8 samples pack needing FX 2? Though I'm not sure if it's FX8 yet, I just didn't think the 2.0 client would work.
So I tried Netbeans 7.3 to see if it would work. At first the DataAppClient was fine, but I see the DataAppPreloader will not run because it uses Package javafx.something which apparently is new in Java 8.....
So now I'm stuck, wondering why Restlib doesn't exist... I looked it up, and it says it's used for Web services, but I don't have it, nor does it say to install it in the readme.
not existing, which I guess has to do with the RestLib?
Anyone have any ideas?
EDIT: So I just downloaded the version for FX2, and I am still getting the same error when I run it, though nothing shows "errors" in the packages. Maybe I just needed to run it correctly for it to work, so not what is this error tellingme

I found the same issue but resolved it by myself. The user table of the MySQL changed, my guess. You need to add another 'Y' or 'N' to the end of this statement in the build.xml of DataAppLoader:
INSERT INTO user VALUES ('localhost','dataapp','*B974A83D18BB105D0C9186756F485406E6E6039B','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','','','','',0,0,0,0,'',NULL,'N');
The original one is like this:
INSERT INTO user VALUES ('localhost','dataapp','*B974A83D18BB105D0C9186756F485406E6E6039B','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','','','','',0,0,0,0,'',NULL);
The new column added is password_expired. Y or N to indicate the password is good or not.

Database Table or T-Code for Substitutes

Hi,
Can anybody help me on the following issue:
in workflow, one user A is receiving email notifications for the workflow. however, we checked and found that he is not authorised for the workflow approvals and nowhere in application he has been defined for workflow approver.
after analysis, we found that user A is receiving emails becaoz somebody has maintained him as his substitute.
I would like to know is there any T-code where i can check who is substitute to whom or the table name where these entries are maintained. i checked that structure HRWHSUBST is being used and in use by program SAPLRHW2. can somebody help me on this.
i want to know who has defined User A as his substitute.
Regards
Sandy

Hi,
You can use function module u201CRH_SUBSTITUTES_GETu201D to get the substitution profiles for a user ID.

Issues with Creative Cloud/Flash Professional? (Performed system restore, Flash was removed...)

I had done a system restore to restore my computer the way it was 24 hours ago to fix some PC issues (couldn't uninstall some programs that I was going to reinstall to fix performance issues); I have three other Adobe programs of my computer that are still there, but where Flash was my most recent acquisition, it was removed when I performed the system restore. When I tried to re-download the program, CC still thinks Flash is still on my computer; I have uninstalled and reinstalled CC, gone through the program files for traces of Flash (didn't delete or alter anything, but also didn't find anything pertaining to Flash), deleted the Temp folder, attempted to download Flash Professional CC directly from the CC website, but none of these made any changes. Is there any way to manually download Flash, or "reset" CC to get it to notice Flash isn't on my computer anymore?

It still didn't help - it removed CC from my computer, and I reinstalled it, but I've already tried that. It still says Flash Professional CC is still there (I installed Flash CS6, too, as a substitute in the meantime, but I still need Flash CC). Flash Professional CC isn't on my computer anymore - it was deleted in a system restore, but CC says it's still there, so I can't reinstall it. Is there a direct download I can use?

Summary of Lion Issues

After a failed attempt to restore my early 2009 Mac Pro to Snow Leopard (wasting many hours of time from my business), I am forced to return to Lion OS and all of the negatives associated with this "downgrade."
There is likely little I have to say that is new, but I think all irritated Lion users should post on sites like these so that perhaps Apple will wake up to the fact that they have aggravated many of their most loyal customers and that they MUST resolve some of these issues. I noted that Apple resently released a customer satisfation poll, but failed to even mention Lion, an indicator that they are clueless about the impact this flawed release is having on many of their users, or worse that they know and just do not care.
To be fair, I cannot claim that all issues are the fault of the Lion upgrade, but my software is 100% current, I am a very knowledable user, and I maintain my system regularly. I do not use Time Machine, although I am rethinking this decision. A trusted vendor convinced e that TM was flawed and that it s a waste of time. I do daily backups to a dedicated internal drive, by my backup software does not do incremental saves. It writes a bootable backup with the existing software, so once I went to Lion and did my first backup, I was stuck. The folowing issues are in no particular order of significance:
- After having problems with Safari, I dragged it to the trash and hit delete. I had no idea that it only loads under SL OS, so Safari is dead. I now use Chromium. I have read about Lion restore, but why did not Apple immediately release a working Lion download of Safari? This is a thoughtless oversight that is simply driving users to competing browers. I may never go back to Safari as my default browser.
- When Safari was running, its handling of Cookies was absurd. The third party block not only does not work, Safari picks up Cookies from websites visited both from other browsers and even (apparently) from other computers (even PCs) on our network.
- When Safari was opened, I had to deal with a resend form window most (every?) time I used the browser.
- Every time I shut down my computer I have to uncheck the dialog box regarding how the computer will start back up. Why not remember my selection?
- Apple seemingly goes out of its way to make sure Windows can play on my Mac, but shuts down Rosetta. This cost me several software applications some of which are not doing upgrades, along with the expense of retaining software that did do Lion specific upgrades. The most critical loss being my decade plus of Quicken files. During my attempt to revert back to Snow leopard, I neglected to save my Quicken data files, which means years of valuable business and home data was lost for good. This was of course my fault, but given all of the unused computing power in this Mac Pro, why Rosetta had to be dropped is beyond me.
- My preferences for certain applications are lost peridically. My Kensignton trackball for example, loses its prefences about once a week.
- My passwords for certain applications are lost periodically. This happens mainly in browser software.
- The Mail folders were hidden, altghough I hae since learned this was down in SL, prior to the release of Lion. I have read other useful folders were also hideden, but mail downloads is something I looked at every week. I learned online how to turn the hiding off, but am perplexed why Apple decided I no longer needed to see these files.
- My computer clearly runs slower now. How any OS could slow down a computer with eight CPU cores and 16GB of memory is beyond me.
- iCal calendar window colapses when I need it open. Again I have to wonder why Apple would decide I don't need this window open all the time. When I do my monthly planning, I want this window OPEN.
- iCal day view is ruined.
- iCal often defaults to "all day" for an event. This requires me to drag down these events into the hourly area, one at a time.
- iCal event overlap makes it harder to grab an event that is now more hidden by another event. Why?
- When I select a window in Finder, sometimes the application does not change until I point to the window multiple times.
- Sometimes when I open a MS Office file, a different file opens, usually the last one I used with the application.
- Spell check often substitutes the wrong word, making a document or email sound idiotic. I believe (but am not certain) that previously a word substitute was offered to me as an option.
The bottom line is that Apple sold me an upgrade with almost zero benefits, which cost me and my business hours and hours of down time, along with the lose of critical files, along with the loss of often used software, along with the cost of upgrades. This "inexpense" software "upgrade" cost me at least a thousand dollars and permanent loss of priceless financial records (again, my error, but due to the upgrade being released). All this mess so that my OS is dumbed down to work better with smart phones and iPads -- neither of which I own.
A Mac Pro is one of the most overpriced computers sold today. Why does Apple knowingly impact desktop and laptop users, to appease the latecomers who use phones and Pads? I have been here since the SE/30. How did I drop to the bottom of the priority list?
This Lion mess, along with iPhoto upgrades that wiped out several years of family memories and iTunes software geared to maximise profits, not user satisfaction, have me wary of my old trusted friend Apple. I feel abused and I wish that all who have experienced similar issue would rasie some **** about it so we get the attention we deserve.

After a failed attempt to restore my early 2009 Mac Pro to Snow Leopard (wasting many hours of time from my business), I am forced to return to Lion OS and all of the negatives associated with this "downgrade."
I'm curious how you would "attempt" to install SL, and how such an "attempt" could possibly fail?
You boot from the SL disc that came with your machine, you erase the HD, you install SL. Then you restore your applications and your data files from your backup.
Oh, wait, you don't think your critical files need to be backed up. That's why you "lost" them.
But you'd still have an SL machine again.
Endless solutions for users (some bone-stupid and near impossible to screw up) to ensure that they had backups and could easily revert... *free* solutions... and the people who couldn't be bothered to take advantage of them want to blame *Apple*? *** were you going to do if someone broke in and stole the machine? What were you going to do when the HD died (HD's *always* die).
People who claim to depend on machines, and don't make backups, deserve what happens to them.
So. If it's important to return to SL on this machine, detail why you think you can't, so people can help you.

Asynchronous HotLog CDC Space to Null Issue

I have established Asynchronous HotLog CDC in one of our testing database. I have done the following steps (as described in the Asynchronous HotLog CDC oracle documentation):
ALTER DATABASE FORCE LOGGING;
ALTER DATABASE ADD SUPPLEMENTAL LOG DATA;
ALTER TABLE #SCHEMA#.#TABLE_NAME# ADD SUPPLEMENTAL LOG DATA (ALL) COLUMNS;
In addition, all of the other steps were followed for permissions, pool sizes, change set setup, change table setup, and so forth. This work is being done as a conversion from Synchronous to Asynchronous.
The issue encountered is that when characters that have a space (' '), it is substituted with a null and inserted into the CT table. I understand per documentation if the supplemental logging is not setup correctly, you can encounter nulls for values that remain static. The problem is this is occurring on our data inserts, with the correct supplemental logging on the table as per documentation.
Any suggestions are appreciated, DB is 11.2.0.1
Thanks

Thank you damorgan, your example was very thorough and helpful. Unfortunately though, after following your steps with my table I was testing, I am still receiving nulls where the insert statement had a space, besides that the asynchronous cdc process works fine.
It is almost like there is a trimming occurring when inserting into the change table, even though in the source table there is a space ' '. I might just need to stay with synchronous CDC because at least the trigger is capturing the correct change data, not sure why the Asynchronous would be different with the space becoming a null.
Thanks.

Adobe acrobat 9 pro installation/licensing issues

I installed my licensed copy of Acrobat 9 on a new Windows 7 system. Acrobat launched but would not open files and shuts down on attempt. Message is "Licensing for this product has stopped working" with subtext "You cannot use the product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contacting your IT administrator or Adobe customer support for help."
I doubt any of you have a solution, so I simply remark on what transpired as a warning and complaint:
1. I went to Adobe databse and found that a patch was provided to correct installations/licensing problems on windows 7. I downloaded it and installed per instructions. It did not resolve the problem.
2. I uninstalled/reinstalled several times. no resolution.
3. I called customer support and was outsourced to someone who knew little and first sent me to a kb article having to do with 'expired licensing' even though I clearly informed them that the message and the fact had nothing to do with expired licenses. They finally referred me to kb405970 on "Licensing has stopped working". I tried all of the applicable solutions (methods 1-6) and none of them worked. Now I will have to wait until tomorrow (though I had pressing work to do today) to contact support again. I fear I will get another outsourced tech who knows little and wastes more of my time. Such is Adobe's way of supporting paid and licensed product users.
I understand and sympathize with Adobe's wishes to protect its products from piracy. However, I expect and paid for a product which works on major and supported operating systems like windows 7. I also understand that if MS or Mac put out a new OS or version, it may require certain adjustments or updates on Adobe's part. What I do not understand (or have patience with) is that 1) Adobe failed to provide a patch that works; 2) that it then sends me to an outsourced customer service tech who didn't have the knowledge to correct the problem and gave me the wrong information to begin with*. What I finally got was the kb article with a series of multi-step instructions for several methods, none of which worked. This is an unprofessional and unethical response to those of us who have paid for our product and expect it to work under reasonable conditions in a supported environment. This is not an acceptable good-faith effort to resolve issues for which Adobe should take full responsibility.
If any of you do happen to have a real solution (or had a similar problem) do let me know....
*The first thing the outsourced tech wished to do was get onto my machine via a remote connection, before anything was tried other than giving them the error message and have them provide me with the wrong information. It became clear that this person had less knowledge than I do (which isn't saying much) and there was no way I was going to permit a clueless techie to crawl around in my machine and fiddle with settings. That is simply asking for trouble. I'm perfectly capable of opening panels and following instructions myself. DC should be the last thing tried; not the first.

Bill, I tried as you suggested - installed every update from 9.1 through 9.3.4. The 'license not working message persists'. The only change was that now Acrobat will not close and must be forced to shut down from the taskbar menu. I appreciate the suggestion though.
Called Adobe (Manila) again, within the hours given on their contact page for installation and licensing issues, and was told "It's Sunday, nobody here can help you". Finally, after an hour of hammering got them to get me a supervisor (their script says to tell the customer there "Is no supervisor available on Sunday" - Finally the "supervisor", Alvin, suggested I need a new serial number and left me on the line while he called someone else to get on. Cameback and informed me that he couldn't get one, I'd have to call Monday (how's that for having solutions?) Result: wasted more time and had more delay on my project.
Conclusion: Adobe has become obsessed and 'piranoic' about piracy and licensing to the extent that they put that first and client/customer needs second (if that). After reading a lot of online 'Adobe Sucks' forums, I'm inclined to believe Adobe is shooting itself in its own foot and is not going to be a reliable method of presentation/document transmission in the future - service and support is an integral part of software and other concerns such as piracy or licensing need to be transparent to legitimate users. Sad that they spend so much time on this, when they need to be fixing real problems. As well, these outsourcing Philipines companies are poor substitutes for good support - they are so scripted and obsessed with regulations over solutions that it is clear that only the most persistent users will get anywhere with them. As a frontline of contact with after-sale clients, they are going to cost Adobe a lot of potential business in the future, whatever their short-term savings. Too bad. Adobe used to be a leader in the market.
Next round: Calling Manila again this am. to be continued...

Issue w/ Queues in Server 10.5.5, Xerox 7760s: They print, but offset

A little background:
Currently we have a mix of 80 fully patched 10.4.11 and fully patched 10.5.5 clients printing directly to 4 identical Xerox Phaser 7760DXs via ipp. They work great. No problems with clients printing directly to the printer.
-BUT-
For reasons beyond the scope of this post, we MUST move the clients to use server queues (PaperCut).
Server is now a clean test server running fully patched 10.5.5 OS X Server with just print services running.
We set up 4 queues the usual way, and then set clients to print to the named queues via LPR, designate the correct driver/ppds on the client.
The clients CAN print, however, out of every app we try, from TextEdit to Illustrator CS3 -anything-
the print outs are blown-up or offset really noticeably -
Say you set up Preview to
print a 7"X5" jpg to centered, on tabloid in landscape. Set the scale option to %100 (no scaling) and
it prints basically off center: up and to the left about 25% of the total page size- really off.
Again, not app related, textedit does this with a single word of centered text, photoshop CS 3, BBEdit, Firefox, etc every print, all print out offset more or less to the same degree, no matter how one sets them up.
Same clients, setups, but printing to the printer directly, rather than by the queues, in all the same apps, you never have this issue.
We did look at this as far as the pstop file version and 10.5.5:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20080925104227545&query=print%2Bque
and no, substituting the older pstop files did not correct the situation.
Ideas, input greatly appreciated.

ACR 7.1 RC Issue Not Fixed in ACR 7.1

The issue I identified in ACR 7.1RC is not fixed in the production release of ACR 7.1. Maybe I did not explain this in enough detail, it's very easy to miss.
1. Select a RAW file that was previously adjusted using PV2010. When you open the file with ACR 7.1 it will open with PV2010 since the xmp file was saved with that process version.
2. Click on the "!" next to the image and it changes to PV2012 with suggested slider settings. Adjust one of the sliders in the Basic Panel - this is very important becasue if you don't adjust a slider the issue does not show up.
3. With the Basic Panel still selected, click on the three dashes to the right of the Basic Panel to get the pop down menu and select "Image Settings". The image changes back to PV2010 with settings that are saved in the XMP file. Now click on the three dashed again to get the pop down menu and "Custom Settings" is checked, but the image is displaying PV2010, not PV2012 like it should if "Custom Settings" is checked. You just lost your PV2012 settings. ACR 7.0 does not have this issue.
4. If in #3 above you select another panel before you click "Image Setting" the first time you can switch between PV2010 and PV2012 by clicking "Image Settings" for PV2010 and "Custom Settings" for PV2012. After you do this first in a panel other than the Basic Panel for the first time you can then do it in the Basic Panel without the problem occuring.
I discovered this while converting images that were adjusted using PV2010 to PV2012 and like to compare the two Process Versions. I did not have any problems with ACR 7.0, but when I installed ACR 7.1RC the issue occured. I was hoping it would be resolved in the Production Release of ACR 7.1, but it's still there.
I am using Photoshop CS6 on a Windows 7 Professional 64 bit computer, don't know if this same issue exists in Lightroom.

None of the issues reported on this forum have been fixed in Camera Raw 7.1, near as I can see.
The Camera Raw 7.1 software was built on May 15, but Adobe appears to ignore beta feedback unless it's a real show-stopper. I can only imagine the definition of "show-stopper" must include users' systems actually catching fire or something.
Camera Raw 7.1 puts columnar color artifacts like this into images, for example:
Compare the above to the same conversion done with Camera Raw 7.0:
Plus Adobe has removed several color-fringing reduction features without providing suitable substitutes.
I recommend eveyone avoid upgrading to this release.

Agent determination issue

Hello Experts,
We have developed one custom workflow a year back and last two months we are seeing the issue with Agent Determination randomly. We created a position with 3 users and assigned the Position to the Agent Assignment. Some times the work item sent to other users other than 3 users assigned to the position. We are not able to trace it, why it's behaving like this. Any help would be appreciated.
with best regards
K. Mohan Reddy

If this happens randomely then we can only assume
Please check the wflow log from SWIA whether someone has forwarded the workitem?
There can be also change in Position assignment, Substitute getting maintained.
Also check whether the users are maintained in the Task level if it is General forwarding Not allowed task from the task attribute.
Thanks
Arghadip

BW Back end
Some Tips -
1)Identify long-running extraction processes on the source system. Extraction processes are performed by several extraction jobs running on the source system. The run-time of these jobs affects the performance. Use transaction code SM37 Background Processing Job Management to analyze the run-times of these jobs. If the run-time of data collection jobs lasts for several hours, schedule these jobs to run more frequently. This way, less data is written into update tables for each run and extraction performance increases.
2)Identify high run-times for ABAP code, especially for user exits. The quality of any custom ABAP programs used in data extraction affects the extraction performance. Use transaction code SE30 ABAP/4 Run-time Analysis and then run the analysis for the transaction code RSA3 Extractor Checker. The system then records the activities of the extraction program so you can review them to identify time-consuming activities. Eliminate those long-running activities or substitute them with alternative program logic.
3)Identify expensive SQL statements. If database run-time is high for extraction jobs, use transaction code ST05 Performance Trace. On this screen, select ALEREMOTE user and then select SQL trace to record the SQL statements. Identify the time-consuming sections from the results. If the data-selection times are high on a particular SQL statement, index the DataSource tables to increase the performance of selection (see no. 6 below). While using ST05, make sure that no other extraction job is running with ALEREMOTE user.
4)Balance loads by distributing processes onto different servers if possible. If your site uses more than one BW application server, distribute the extraction processes to different servers using transaction code SM59 Maintain RFC Destination. Load balancing is possible only if the extraction program allows the option
5)Set optimum parameters for data-packet size. Packet size affects the number of data requests to the database. Set the data-packet size to optimum values for an efficient data-extraction mechanism. To find the optimum value, start with a packet size in the range of 50,000 to 100,000 and gradually increase it. At some point, you will reach the threshold at which increasing packet size further does not provide any performance increase. To set the packet size, use transaction code SBIW BW IMG Menu on the source system. To set the data load parameters for flat-file uploads, use transaction code RSCUSTV6 in BW.
6)Build indexes on DataSource tables based on selection criteria. Indexing DataSource tables improves the extraction performance, because it reduces the read times of those tables.
7)Execute collection jobs in parallel. Like the Business Content extractors, generic extractors have a number of collection jobs to retrieve relevant data from DataSource tables. Scheduling these collection jobs to run in parallel reduces the total extraction time, and they can be scheduled via transaction code SM37 in the source system.
8). Break up your data selections for InfoPackages and schedule the portions to run in parallel. This parallel upload mechanism sends different portions of the data to BW at the same time, and as a result the total upload time is reduced. You can schedule InfoPackages in the Administrator Workbench.
You can upload data from a data target (InfoCube and ODS) to another data target within the BW system. While uploading, you can schedule more than one InfoPackage with different selection options in each one. For example, fiscal year or fiscal year period can be used as selection options. Avoid using parallel uploads for high volumes of data if hardware resources are constrained. Each InfoPacket uses one background process (if scheduled to run in the background) or dialog process (if scheduled to run online) of the application server, and too many processes could overwhelm a slow server.
9). Building secondary indexes on the tables for the selection fields optimizes these tables for reading, reducing extraction time. If your selection fields are not key fields on the table, primary indexes are not much of a help when accessing data. In this case it is better to create secondary indexes with selection fields on the associated table using ABAP Dictionary to improve better selection performance.
10)Analyze upload times to the PSA and identify long-running uploads. When you extract the data using PSA method, data is written into PSA tables in the BW system. If your data is on the order of tens of millions, consider partitioning these PSA tables for better performance, but pay attention to the partition sizes. Partitioning PSA tables improves data-load performance because it's faster to insert data into smaller database tables. Partitioning also provides increased performance for maintenance of PSA tables for example, you can delete a portion of data faster. You can set the size of each partition in the PSA parameters screen, in transaction code SPRO or RSCUSTV6, so that BW creates a new partition automatically when a threshold value is reached.
11)Debug any routines in the transfer and update rules and eliminate single selects from the routines. Using single selects in custom ABAP routines for selecting data from database tables reduces performance considerably. It is better to use buffers and array operations. When you use buffers or array operations, the system reads data from the database tables and stores it in the memory for manipulation, improving performance. If you do not use buffers or array operations, the whole reading process is performed on the database with many table accesses, and performance deteriorates. Also, extensive use of library transformations in the ABAP code reduces performance; since these transformations are not compiled in advance, they are carried out during run-time.
12)Before uploading a high volume of transaction data into InfoCubes, activate the number-range buffer for dimension IDs. The number-range buffer is a parameter that identifies the number of sequential dimension IDs stored in the memory. If you increase the number range before high-volume data upload, you reduce the number of reads from the dimension tables and hence increase the upload performance. Do not forget to set the number-range values back to their original values after the upload. Use transaction code SNRO to maintain the number range buffer values for InfoCubes.
13)Drop the indexes before uploading high-volume data into InfoCubes. Regenerate them after the upload. Indexes on InfoCubes are optimized for reading data from the InfoCubes. If the indexes exist during the upload, BW reads the indexes and tries to insert the records according to the indexes, resulting in poor upload performance. You can automate the dropping and regeneration of the indexes through InfoPackage scheduling. You can drop indexes in the Manage InfoCube screen in the Administrator Workbench.
14)IDoc (intermediate document) archiving improves the extraction and loading performance and can be applied on both BW and R/3 systems. In addition to IDoc archiving, data archiving is available for InfoCubes and ODS objects.
Hope it Helps

Substitute G/L Account when posting Accounting Document

Hello Everyone,
I am an ABAP consultant.
I want to know if there is any way to substitute a G/L account which is already determined by the system.
When we post MIRO, when there is a price variance with GR, then a material price variance account will be determined and the variance gets posted to the material price variance account. Something like below.
Credit Vendor Account
Debit   GR/IR Clearing Account
Debit   Material Price Variance Account
I want to replace the Material Price Variance Account for certain scenario.
I tried with
1. BADI AC_DOCUMENT - But G/L account cannot be replaced with this
2. BTE - Able to change the G/L account, but it gives error "Internal error: Entry in COKA-Buffer not found". I found a SAP note for this. It seems G/L account and Fiscal year data gets transferred to COKA buffer and if there are any changes it does not allow to proceed.
I also found enhancement spots where i can make changes, but i want to know if this can be achieved in a standard way (Either Exits, BADI or FI Substitutions)
Regards
Rajvansh

Hi:
   Why don't you change your MM config , it would be better to have this defaulted by MM account determination. but if you still want to do this, then you can try MM exit that instead of changing the account, reduce the amount to zero in the "wrong" account, and insert a line with the "right" account.
Substitution GBB1 might not work here which can also induce MM/FI consistency issues. Hence find an MM exit and refer to the BADI's in note 1156325.
I hope it will help you.
Regards
