Unable to print to Sharp MFP using Queue based printing

Help
I am testing some Sharp MFP's and am unable to get them working using QUEUE based printing.
Everything is ok with NDPS.
I have setup the Printserver, printer and queue in NW ADMIN.
The printer server is logged into the Netware 6.5 server, I can see in the monitor screen.
When I setup my printer on the XP client and send a test job I can see it in the queue in NW ADMIN.
But not job is delivered to the printserver.
Reading some strings it suggest problems with 8.7 E Directory.
Can anyone help a Netware novice?

Question is: why? If it works with NDPS then use NDPS and if you need a
queue for anything, then just have the NDPS-printer servcice it.

Queue Based Printing with Netware 6.5

I have just picked up a client who just upgraded to Netware for small
business 6.5...They want a HP Laser Jet 4m plus installed...They still
want to use queue based printing...I went to HPs website and saw that Web
Jetadmin is bye bye...First off, is that true, second off, how to I set
up the print queue....I set it up in NDS but it doesn't seem to
work..maybe it's because it doesn't know what IP address..Please
advise...Thank you.

My situation isn't quite the same as yours, so what I tell you
now may not apply.
We are a NetWare 4.11 network with IPX protocol loaded on the
servers. We use standard print queues, not NDPS.
To set up a new printer to a print queue, I follow this procedure:
First, create the Queue:
1. Open NetWare Administrator (NWADMN32.EXE).
2. Select the container into which you wish to place your objects.
3. From the tools menu, choose Print Services Quick Setup (non NDPS).
4. Name your PS, P and Q objects as you wish, and specify a volume
and server upon which you wish the queue files to reside.
Now, configure the Printer:
5. Open WebJetAdmin, and double-click on the printer you wish to set.
6. From the drop-down menu, choose Configuration.
7. Choose the Network Configuration category.
8. If you wish, you may specify your Ethernet Frame Type, or leave
it on Auto.
9. Ensure that IPX is enabled as a Protocol Stack.
10. Under NDS configuration, enter the Print Server object name you
specified earlier.
11. Choose your Tree.
12. Browse to the context in which you created your PS object.
Once you apply those settings, and restart the print server, it
should service the queue.
You could also try to find an older version of HP's Install Network
Printer Wizard. I use version 3.06 and it works perfectly. This
will create all the NDS objects for you, configure the printer, and
add it as an available printer on your workstation, all at the same
time. Newer versions of the software do not support NetWare.
I hope this has been of some use to you, and anyone who finds this
message in the future (hello to you, person reading in the future).

Server hangs with queue based printing

We have a Netware 6.5 SP1 server used for queue based printing with HP
Print Servers.However very often queues do not respond and we re-start the
server so that queues will be operational.
Will service pack 2 will sove this problem? Is there any issues for
deployment of SP2

G5, 10.6.8, trying to print biz cards, instead of clear print with sharp edges I get fuzzy print with pixels showing. Saving as PDF doesn't help. Any solution?

If I paste the jpeg on a draw page and shrink it to fit, fuzzy print. If I create the text directly on a draw page, it's fine. (That suggests to me the problem isn't in the printer.) But I want to include a small drawing on the card, and the pasted jpeg of that small drawing is very poor quality.

HP LaserJet 2420n and Queue Based Printing?

I'm looking at a new workgroup printer and am leaning towards the HP
LaserJet 2420n
The price is about right, I'm sticking with HP, and this seems to be the
replacement for the 2100, 2200, and 2300 series which I liked a lot.
It has a built in JetDirect, although I can't find which model.
HP's site says this:
Compatible Network Operating Systems:
Via HP Jetdirect print servers: Microsoft Windows 98, Me, NT 4.0, 2000,
XP, XP 64-Bit, Server 2003; Novell NetWare 3.2, 4.2, 5.x, 6.x; Apple Mac OS
8.6 and later; Red Hat Linux 6.x and later; SuSE Linux 6.x and later; HP-UX
10.20, 11.x; Solaris 2.5x, 2.6, 7, 8, 9, 10 (SPARC systems only); IBM AIX
3.2.5 and later; MPE-iX, Terminal server/Citrix
Note that NetWare 4.2 (and so also 4.11) is listed.
That is the only mention of NetWare I can find about this printer. Does
anyone out there have one already? Can it be used with Queue Based (non-
NDPS) Printing? Does the built in JetDirect support this natively?
Thanks for your help,
AZC

I just installed one of these on our network with queue bases services using
the web interface and it worked, once I figured out how to declare the
context for the queue.

Applescript to print a .doc file using TextEdit with print dialog.

I want to print a pdf file using TextEdit .
I want to display the print dialog before doing the print operation.
Can any one help me with apple scripts to perform this operation.
We tried to use this script; but when I click Cancel on print dialog. I am getting an error saying "TextEdit got an error: Apple Event Handler failed".
set printDoc to "Macintosh HD:Users:testuser:Testing:testprint.pdf"
tell application "TextEdit"
activate
open printDoc
print printDoc with print dialog
quit saving no
end tell
Can anyone help me to fix this issue ?

Clicking the cancel button in the print dialog is sending an error code back to the script. If you use a try statement you can handle it better. The script below will just ignore it. Or you could use an "on error" statement to do something else.
set printDoc to "Macintosh HD:Users:testuser:Testing:testprint.pdf"
tell application "TextEdit"
activate
open printDoc
try
print printDoc with print dialog
end try
quit saving no
end tell
Hope that helps. Though the plaintext of a pdf may be a little hard to read.

Print Iwork Pages "Book" using Apple's Print Service?

I've created a thirty-page travelogue in Pages, mostly text with several dozen photos. Is there a way to have Apple publish it using the iPhoto print service?

I'm not sure about the conversion.
In this thread, Old Toad gives information about DPI settings. I haven't done much with that yet but it might help you out.

I have gotten good results with doing this but have no idea what the DPI setting is for what I've done.

Photo printing from Iphoto 09 using epson r200 printer

Mac Mini, Iphoto 09, Epson stylus photo r200 printer.
Hello, I have been trying to get a decent printed photo (6" x 4" high gloss photo paper) using the above. All I seem to get are very poor quality prints. There does not seem to be a way of telling iphoto what medium I am using or the correct resolution I wish to use. Can anyone help !

Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
If paper type is available it is in the printer specific options on the second print window - select the photo(s) you want to print, click print, select the printer, paper size and print size and click print - in the resulting window any available printer specific options will be in the pull down line toward the bottom of the window - if they are not click on the gray triangle to the right of the printer name to open the full window -- note that the available printer specific options are controlled by the printer driver - not iPhoto

How can i get rid of the print dialog box when using api to print an html file

i am using the systemshell.vi provided by labview the VI is working fine but it will open a dialog box for printer selection and properties. i would like to hide that dialog box and have it print to the default printer with the default properties

ShellExec is part of lvwutil and merely calls a function in Shell32.dll. There is nothing about the function call that controls the display of the printer dialog. I think that what shell32.dll does when it prints (just like right clicking on the file) is print the file according to what is defined about that file type in Windows Folder Options. On my Win2K system, the print application is defined as "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\msohtmed.exe" /p %1. If I remove the /p, then Word starts up and in order to print, I get a printer dialog when choosing Print from the File menu. So it seems like the printer dialog is entirely dependant on the application that does the printing. I get no dialog when I use the VI to print a .txt file. I
nstead of using shell32, you might want to try some ActiveX method or property of an application like Internet Explorer that can open and print an html file.

Queue based printing stopped after 6.5 upgrade

I had several print queues sitting on vol1 of a server, and after I upgraded
the server from Netware 6.0 to Netware 6.5 we lost access to them. Now when
I try to do a capture to that printer queue, I can click on browse and find
the queue, but when I click on capture it says "The queue could not be
found. Make sure you typed the path correctly and try again."
I then tryed to create a new queue, but I get the same problem... I can't
capture it. I tried createing a new queue on some of my 6.0 server and got
the same thing. I finally created a queue on one of my clustered volumes,
and that works.
I would like to be able to create a print queue on vol1 of my 6.5 server.
Any idea how to get this to work again?
Thanks.

IPhone 5 unable to connect to internet or use web-based apps like Facebook or Tumblr

About two days ago, shortly after using my iPhone 5 to upload a picture of my son eating a donut to Facebook, I seem to have lost all ability to connect to the internet or update content on web-based apps like Facebook or Tumblr. I tried to restore my iPhone in iTunes on my computer but could not do that without first turning of "Find My iPhone," in the iCloud section of my settings. When asked to enter my password to turn off this feature the phone is "unable to connect to iCloud." It doesn't seem to matter if I'm connected to WiFi or using my cell data - I'm getting a strong signal in either case, but the phone is unable to connect to anything. I CAN make phone calls and send texts but that's just about it.
I recently updated to IOS 8.1.1 but it worked fine for several days before this problem started. Any ideas?

I reset my network settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings) and rejoined my network, and that seemed to fix it. Apps are working on wifi and on data, and I can once again send imessages. Since I couldn't find a similar post very easily, I wanted to post this for whoever needs help with this problem ;D

How do I set up pages to print a 5x7 catalog using doubled sided printing. When I try this layout the inside pages are upside down?

I am trying to print a 5 x7 catalog. When I print it out using doubled sided the inside pages are upside down. Is there a way to setup and print using a 5x7 format?

If your printer does duplex printing (i.e. you're not re-feeding the pages manually), there may be a setting in the print dialog. My Brother color laser has these option when I check the two-sided box. If you see something similar, test the various options & make a note of what works. It took me so many tries to figure out what they meant by long- or short-edge binding!
If you're using something like CocoaBooklet or another program to create a booklet, see if it has an option to turn the second side upside down.

Epson R1800 printer options missing when using AEBS wireless printing- WHY?

I have run into a very odd problem with my Epson R1800 printer. When I install the printer for directly connecting via USB or FireWire the version 6.12 print driver appears with all of the options. When I install the same printer when connected through my AirPort extreme base station the print driver is lacking most of the adjustment features.
Fire wire and USB contain the following menu items in the drop down print dialog"
Print Settings (with basic and advanced tabs)
Roll Paper Option
Expansion
Extension Settings
The AEBS printer options only contains one printer specific selection called:
Printer Features
which has a very limited selection of options, an no options which allow me to turn off color management.
Some additional information
- I installed this same printer driver on one laptop back in the days of 10.5.2 and I was able to install a AEBS printer which allows all of the options. On that same computer if I now install a new printer with the same driver those extra options are missing.
- I just upgraded a second laptop to Leopard today and went straight to 10.5.3 and the wireless driver for this printer only contains the limited menu items.
- I am certain that I am using the Epson drivers and not the Gutenprint drivers. Please do not suggest the Gutenprint drivers, they do not handle color management properly.

This is a real problem for this printer OS combination... I believe due to the crappy Epson driver. I searched the internet and found lots and lots of people having a similar problem. When I contacted Epson today they admitted there was a driver problem, but the tech told me they had no plans to improve the driver 'because the R1800 is a discontinued model'! How's that for support!
Anyway...several people have had fairly decent luck removing the printer and all Epson software then re-installing it. When the 'correct' driver is installed it will say something like "Epson R1800 (sp) 1". My problem is there is no way to profile this printer and have the driver work as it should for proofing and color management. I know that doesn't help much, but if you google "Epson R1800 problems with Leopard" you'll see what I mean.

Air Print from eBay app using non AirPrint printer DYMO Labelwriter 450

hi all!
i use the eBay app in my iPhone a lot. have a DYMO Labelwriter 450 installed in my macbook pro.
is there any way i can use AirPrint from my iPhone to the DYMO ?
if i use services like Printopia will i need to do any page setups?
how do you guys out there do this?
please advise!
thanks

Actually several. Your printer manufacturer may very well have one, but several third party apps are available. I have had pretty good results with Printer Pro. As far as printing to a device that is NOT on your network, no. How would it connect?
