Unable to print to Sharp MX-M464N

We are a department made up of mostly PC's but have some Mac's as well. We recently purchased a new iMac running Yosemite. In trying to connect to a network Sharp MX-M464N printer. I downloaded the drivers from the Sharp site for OS 10.10 and had a successful install. All properties of the printer are correct. When printing a document, it queues up and appears as if it's printing and it clears the queue. However, nothing prints. Any ideas?

This sort of thing can occur if you use a driver or protocol that the printer does not support.
With regards to the driver, most vendors provide a Postscript driver for OS X. But to use the Postscript driver the printer must support Postscript and this is often an optional kit that you need to install. So if you are using a Postscript driver then check the configuration of the Sharp to ensure it supports the Postscript printer language.
Re the protocol, many devices have trouble with IPP. It's often preferred to use HP Jetdirect-Socket, which is the default protocol that Windows will be using. You also have the option of using Line Printer Daemon (LPD) but note that this protocol can require you enter a specific queue name.

Adobe Reader 8.1.2 unable to print on Sharp 450 model

Hello
After an Adobe upgrade, PDF's cant print to Sharp 450 models. Simply says "the document can't be printed" However, if we check "Print as Image" it's prints with no errors. This issue is printer specific because pdf's are able to print ok to other Sharp printers on the network. Clients are running Win XP Professional. We have uninstalled and reinstall Adobe and we have the updated 450 driver from Sharp. Has anyone seen this specific issue, or at lease with other printers. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the link but my problem is with EXE files (amongst others) so, as stated in the MS article, you can't use that method to change the behaviour.
By comparing to another machine, I have found is a set of keys in the HKCU registry that shouldn't be there -
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.exe]
"Application"="AcroRD32.exe"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.exe\OpenWi thList]
"a"="AcroRd32.exe"
"MRUList"="a"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.exe\OpenWi thProgids]
"exefile"=hex(0):
Having now removed them using REGEDIT (& I remembered to back up my registry first!) I have now re-installed Acrobat Reader without experiencing problems (haven't rebooted yet, but I'm pretty sure it's fixed) - e.g. I can still use REGEDIT, launch IE7 or Firefox from icons that didn't work before.
I have no idea how those keys got there, but they're gone now ;-}

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.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Unable to print multiple line items in Z-SAP SCRIPT

Hi ALL,
We have a scenario where in we are calling the Driver program (RFKORD50) for Document Extract(F.64), Where in we have attached the Z-Script to the program(RFKORD50),
Unable to print multiple items.
1) Checked with all the elements in STD program for printing multiple items in main window but unable to get all the items we are able to fetch only 1 item .
(&BSEG-BUZEI&,,     &BSEG-SGTXT&,,,,&BSEG-DMBTR&)
2) I have also tried with external subroutine but it also didnot work.it is fetching the latest value.
Ex: if we have 3 items say 1,2,3 first 2 items are not getting fetched it is taking 3rd item and printing it straight away(Problem is it is not going to script for fetching the first item).
see the perform which i have used
/: PERFORM ITEMS IN PROGRAM ZTFI_ZNV20296
/:USING &BSEG-BUKRS&
/:USING &BKPF-BELNR&
/:USING &BSEG-GJAHR&
/:CHANGING &V_BUZEI&
/:CHANGING &V_SGTXT&
/:CHANGING &V_DMBTR&
/: ENDPERFORM
IL &V_BUZEI&,,     &V_SGTXT&,,,,&V_DMBTR&
Please suggest me whetther we can call write_form from external subroutine. or is there any loop commands in SAP SCRIPT Form.
Regards,
Jana

Hi!
The LOOP is always within the printer program. In this case also.
Just check out the RFKORI35 include, the LOOP begins in the 215th line (in 4.6C).
SORT HBSEG BY BUKRS SORTP1 SORTP2 SORTP3 SORTP4 SORTP5
                      BELNR GJAHR BUZEI.
        LOOP AT HBSEG.
*         WHERE BUKRS = SAVE_BUKRS.
          SAVE_BUKRS = HBSEG-BUKRS.
          IF ( HBSEG-KUNNR = SAVE_KUNNR
          AND   NOT SAVE_KUNNR IS INITIAL )
          OR ( HBSEG-LIFNR = SAVE_LIFNR
          AND   NOT SAVE_LIFNR IS INITIAL ).
            CLEAR RF140-ELEMENT.
            RF140-ELEMENT = '521'.
            CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'
                     EXPORTING WINDOW    = 'MAIN'
                                ELEMENT   = '521'
                     EXCEPTIONS WINDOW    = 1
                                ELEMENT   = 2.
You might try out to write your code within the 521 elemnt in the sapscript.

I am unable to print color photos from i photo using a Brother Printer

I am unable to print color photos from i photo using a Brother MFC-6490CW all in one. The photos appear to be in grayscale. I have checked the printer settings, but for some reason I am not able to access the color management on my printer from printer set up. It only gives me the standard option. I have spent hours checking Bother's website and Apple's and I am not able to come up with a valid answer. I know that the color print works. If I print something from the internet of from outlook it will print in color. I know all of my cartridges are in working order, I have cleaned the print head on my Brother, but I am still not able to print photos in color!!!
What puzzles me the most is why I am unable to really access the color management menu on my printer? It just does not come up. I have the option from paper handling to print photos, but this has nothing to do with the quality. I have also tried printing the photo from an Adobe PDF file and I still have the same problem. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thank you.

In the Print dialogue box click on the little triangle to the right of the name of the printer. That will expand the dialogue box.

PDF: Unable to print a document as PDF from APEX when using the BI Publishe

Hi,
From an APEX application, I am unable to print a document in a PDF format when using the Oracle BI Publisher.\
Here is the configuration:
1) Server A is W2K3 and hosts the Oracle BI Publisher server, with IP address ip01.
2) Server B is a OEL5.2 and hosts the database server of the APEX application, with IP address ip02.
3) Machine C is a W7 desktop from which through an URL both the APEX applicationn and the BI server are accessed, with IP address ip03.
4) The APEX application is configured with the following to use the Oracle BI Publisher:
- Printer server: Advanced (requires Oracle BI Publisher)
- Printer server protocol: HTTP
- Printer server host address: ip01
- Printer server port: 9704
- Printer server script: /xmlpserver/convert
- Network services are enabled (at least I did get any warning/error message)
From C, I access the the APEX application through its URL, if I try to download a page by selecting PDF in the download section of the interative report section for that page, I am unable to open if and get the error:
<file>. pdf file can not be opened because the file type is not supported or because it is damaged (because, for example as an e-mail attachment is not sent and correctly decoded)
Yet, still from C, I am able to open any other PDF document.
The same way, still from C, acessing the APEX application through its URL, I have a query report defined with a PDF output format. Then, when I test the report (Test Report in the Report query) for that query, I get the error:
ORA-20001: The printing engine could not be reached because either the URL specified is incorrect or a proxy URL needs to be specified.
At first sight this could be a wong entry in the priinter configuration for APEX. But with this address, through the URL I can log in to the Oracle BI Publisher server.
Does someone has an idea what the problem could be?
Thanks for any tips.

How are you trying to print to pdf?
Don't go via PostScript or Acrobat Distiller, which are old deprecated technology.
You use:
Menu > File > Print > PDF (button bottom left) > Save as PDF…

Unable to print xml publisher report in excel format in R12

Hi All,
We are unable to print xml publisher report in excel format in R12. We were able to see the excel output but it's printing junk characters while printing and it's printing without any issue with PDF format.
Please let me know how to fix this issue.
Thanks,
Raja

Hi Raja,
I presume you have gone through the debugging process of testing your template locally first to get the expected result.....
If yes, this note might probably be helpful "Changing Output Format to RTF or Excel in XML Publisher Request Does Not Display Output Correctly (Doc ID 404512.1)"
Good Luck,

Unable to print the report after SP2 (CR 2008 / VS 2008)?

I'm developing an ASP.NET application using VS 2008 (Framework 3.5). I have installed CR 2008 with SP (0, 1, and 2).
I created an invoice report and I printed it as test for the report and it works okay. I needed to change the page size of the report to a user defined size and reset all of the margins to zero.
After I did that I was unable to print the report again and every time I tried to print the report nothing gets printed.
I checked my environment to find the cause of this problem but I found nothing except that I'm using CR runtime for SP1 and I'm currently using SP2. So I did remove CR runtime for SP1 and install CR runtime for SP2.
The problem didn't go away and I faced one more problem.
Usually I'm using a dataset as a data source for my reports. After installing the CR runtime for SP2 I couldn't see any date column in my report data source (Dataset). All other types of columns appear except date fields! Why I have no Idea?
After I do some more testing regarding my issue I found out the following
1. When I add a new report to my web application and I don't change the page setting the report work fine.
2. When I change the page setup settings (Page Margins, horizontal width and vertical height) the report show up okay but never gets printed.
Why I don't know?
Addition to that the report dataset (Data Source) showing in the field explorer never shows any date type field?
All of the above issues happened with me after installing SP2.
OS: WindowsXP Pro SP3
CR 2008 (SP 0, 1, 2)
VS 2008 SP1
Please I need your help.

Hi, Sami;
Are you printing from the Crystal preview window, or in code?
If you are printing from the preview window, try printing via code, such as:
An example of print to printer:
crReportDocument = New ReportDocument
crReportDocument.Load("h:\labels2.rpt")
''Use error handling in case an error occurs
Try
''Set the printer name to print the report to. By default the sample
''report does not have a defult printer specified. This will tell the
''engine to use the specified printer to print the report. Print out
''a test page (from Printer properties) to get the correct value.
crReportDocument.PrintOptions.PrinterName = "
dwcb12003\ZDesigner ZM400 200 dpi (ZPL)"
''Start the printing process. Provide details of the print job
''using the arguments.
crReportDocument.PrintToPrinter(1, True, 1, 1)
Please post your question about the dataset as a new post.
Regards,
Jonathan
