Vertical offset problem when printing labels after editing with Crystal Reports

Hello,
We are still using the RDC component of Crystal reports in some of our C++ Software components. Label design is done with a very old Version 8.5 of Crystal, the Clients use the 10.5 runtime for printing.
This was running on Windows XP and Server 2003 for a Long time. Recently we changed to Server 2008 R2 (english) and Windows 7 (de) on the Clients. Again we installed CR 8.5 on the Server for Label design and a 10.5 runtime on the Clients for printing. Now something strange happened. If we just open a Report file with CR on the Server and save it (doing no changes), there is a Problem with printing on the Clients. The line spacing is now wrong. It´s about 5th the value as it should be. This only happens on the Client. The reports still print ok from the preview Windows of CR on the Server.
However, we have to Change Labels. As a Workaround, we installed CR also on one of the Windows 7 Clients. And this is working. We can save Labels unchanged and they are printed with the correct line spacing on the Clients.
Of Course, this should be solved in the future, because the Clients are placed in our production area and it´s not a good place for sitting and changing Labels.
i´v no idea what could be the reason?
Greetings, Jörg

This might be due to differences in default/specified printer (or printer driver) across the machines involved.

Error when opening a BW query with Crystal Reports

Hi all,
I am having problems when opening a BW query with Crystal Reports, the strange thing is that it only happens with
the bo user I have created. If I use a user that already exists and that has SAP_ALL authorization it works.
I don't know if this could be an authorizations issue, but I have created a role with all the authorizations stated in the manual.
The error I am getting is the following:
"An error occurred while generating a new report template. Error in UNKNOWN.RPT file"
Does anyone know what this could be?
Thanks

Well,
I cannot access the system now. But I think it is not an issue of authorization, because I assigned all the good user's role to the bo user,
and even with that, it still don't work.
Thanks

Sub report parameter prompt appears when running Visual Studio 2008 with Crystal Reports 2008

Post Author: relliott
CA Forum: .NET
If I build a simple Crystal Report that contains another simple Crystal Sub Report, the report will print preview fine in Crystal 2008. The problem happens when add this report to a Visual Studio 2008 Web Application Project and I build and debug the application, the Crystal Viewer is prompting the user for the parameter used to link the sub report to the main report. This should never happen as the user is not supposed to see this parameter. If I type in some value for this sub-report parameter prompt, the Crystal Report Viewer gives an error message about not finding the field.
I was having the same problem in Vs2005 with Crystal 10 which is why I upgraded. Business Object's official fix for this problem was published under their KB article number c2018840 and c2019047. These hot fixes ended up causing general exception errors in Visual Studio so I scrapped these solutions.
Support had me install SP0 for Crystal 2008 (which did not fix it).
Any ideas?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rich Elliott

Hi Bontrager,
Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
According to your description, I agree with pvdg42's suggestion, so I suggest you can try pvdg42's suggestion to install the version of
Crystal Reports 10.5 to check this issue again.
Reference:
http://forums.asp.net/t/1236730.aspx?Which+CR+version+is+in+Visual+Studio+2008+
In addition, since this forum is
to discuss: Visual Studio WPF/SL Designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System, and Visual Studio Editor. So if you have any issue about the
Crystal Reports, I suggest you can ask the issue to the
SAP Crystal Reports website:
http://scn.sap.com/community/crystal-reports/content?filterID=contentstatus%5bpublished%5d~objecttype~objecttype%255bthread
as pvdg42 pervious suggestion, it will be better support.

Problems deploying VS 2005 Web Site with Crystal Reports

If it's not one assembly reported missing, it's another. Runs fine on my local machine, but can't deploy to a test environment on my company's server. How can I force crystal to install everything on the server that is needed so that my clients (end users) can run this report?
We are not running Crystal RAS.
When I set up my msi, I made sure to set it to take assemblies from my local machine. Yet, my local machine does not seem to contain all of the assemblies that it needs. They're not showing up in the bin anyway.
I am using non-embedded report files (as you can see from my code below) so that I can change reports on the fly, if necessary without recompiling the entire app.
I am using the ReportDocument object.

Any help with this would be most appreciated. Is there a KB that deals with deploying a VS 2005 WEB SITE with Crystal?
Thank you,
Bob

Okay. So I installed the correct MSMs, opened the deployment document that came with it entitled, "Crystal Reports for .net Framework 2.0 - Deployment using Merge Modules" and got to page 4. At the bottom of page 4. It had me create a new Web Setup Project. The MSMs are included in the project, as they should be.
On page 4, #7, it says "Build the project."
#8 says Run your development setup.
There are 3 panes on my VS interface (4 including the Solution Explorer). To me, they look like they need the information regarding what Web Site this is to deploy.
I don't see any instructions on how to do this. I just blew away my old MSIs that I created because the previous document said not to use them.
So, how do I add my Web Site to these panes?
Thank you for your help with this.

Low resolution when printing photographs after editing in Iphoto

Hi there, I would be grateful for some advice. I took some photographs and imported them into Iphoto - they are all approx 3 MB. I edited some of them in Iphoto, cropped a few, did a few in B&W. I burned them onto a disc and took them into my local photo shop. They told me that the resolution was not high enough for them to be printed. When I looked i saw that the edited photos had been reduced to around 700KB. Why is this and what can i do???!!!

Burning them to disk via the Share menu creates a mini library on the disk intended for use by iPhoto only. What was used for the prints must have been the thumbnail files of the library.
What you need to do to get the edited and cropped photos to disk is export them to a folder on the desktop via the File->Export->File Export menu option. Use Kind=jpeg, JPEG Quality=Maximum, Size=Full Size. Then burn the folder of files to disk via the Finder.

I have vertical lines when printing even after changing cartridges.

I have vertical lines when printing even after changing cartridges. There are no lines when copying, faxing or scanning, only printing. I have cleaned the glass, scanner and even dusted where the toner cartride slides in. Any suggestions?

Sorry but I have worked on laser printers for over 20 years and never encountered your issue. That is of course if you are explaining it correctly. When you make a copy to be printed or print a reports page from the printer or send a print job to the printer, if in all these cases you get the line, then yes the issue is either the toner cartridge or the fuser. If you make a copy to be printed and it prints without the line (Put original in adf, press copy button and print should come out), then you have one weird unit since it does not make sense since the print formatter on the unit whether making a copy or printing from the computer or unit itself uses the same hardware. Now to test if the printed copy has a line then just put a sheet of paper on top of the feed tray and do a self test from the printer. When the back edge of the paper enters the printer, quickly open the toner door to stop the printing. Remove the toner cartridge and look at the image below. If the defect is present the toner cartridge is the issue and if the image below does not have the defect, then the fuser needs to be replaced. Best I can do. Good Luck.

Problems when printing help topics from OHJ

We have encountered some persistent problems when printing help topics from Oracle Help for Java (Ice Browser).
NOTE: When we print the same source files from Oracle Help for the Web, the printing problems are gone.
(1) Spacing Errors (all printers had identical results)
Text with special formatting (<b>, <i>) often has either too much space or not enough space.
Links often have extra spaces underlined before or after the link, itself.
(2) When printing multiple help topics from the TOC (an entire branch in the tree):
On some printers, no graphics print correctly, but instead print as one of the following: 1. empty box the size of one character, 2. black box the size of one character, 3. black box the size of the original graphic. We could not detect a pattern that caused 1, 2, or 3.
NOTE: all graphics are bit maps (screen captures) that were generated in the same manner.
NOTE: if these same help topics are printed one at a time form Oracle Help for Java, the graphics print fine.
Is this a problem with the Ice Browser?
Thanks for the help,
Wendy Studinski

There are a known issue with the ICEBrowser printing in some circumstances. The laying out of text by the ICE Browser relies on font metrics (being able to measure the width of a run of text in a given font). On screen it looks great, but when printing, even though the GraphicsConfiguration for the printer is being used, these widths are sometimes off, which can result in text running together at boundaries between text styles. We're not sure what to do about this problem, and we've reported it to IceSoft.
Not every font has this problem, so varying the font you are using might help the appearance when printed.
The other problem you report, problems with the images when printing multiple topics, is something that we will look into.

Performance problem when printing - table TSPEVJOB big size

Hi,
in a SAP ERP system there is performance problem when printing because table TSPEVJOB has many millions of entries.
This table has reached a considerable size (about 90 Gb); db size is 200 Gb.
Standard reports have been scheduled correctly and kernel of SAP ERP system is updated.
I've tried to scheduled report RSPO1041 (instead of RSPO0041) to reduce entries but it is not possible run it during normal operations because it locks the printing system.
Do you know why this table has increased ?
Are there any reports to clean this table or other methods ?
Thanks.
Maurizio Manera

Dear,
Please see the Note 706478 - Preventing Basis tables from increasing considerably and

Problem when printing " " using XSL

I have a problem when printing the "<" .It is always printed as
"<" in the HTML file.
I wish to transfer a Javascript text . I tried
using CDATA . This is an extract of a portion in my XSL File
which uses CDATA.
<![CDATA[
function createLOV(lov_name, array_touse) {
document.writeln("<select name='" + lov_name + "'>");
for (var i=0; i < array_touse.length; i++) {
document.writeln("<option value='" + array_touse[i] + "'>" +
array_touse[i] + "</option>");
}]]>
And this is what the HTML file contains
function createLOV(lov_name, array_touse) {
document.writeln("<select name='" + lov_name + "'>");
for (var i=0; i < array_touse.length; i++) {
document.writeln("<option value='" + array_touse[i] + "'>" +
array_touse[i] + "</option>"); }
document.writeln("</select>");}
I tried using the <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"> but in
vain.
If i use < or &x3C; , i still get < in the HTML file.
How do I solve this problem. I'm using XSQL Servlet with JSDK2.1
both running on Sun Solaris2.6 .
Thanks in advance,
Suresh

Currently, the parser does not support the xsl:output and

in a future release.

"Problem When Printing" error on Mac Mini

Hi all,
I just recently updated my Mac Mini from 10.3 to 10.4. Instead of Archive and Install I formatted and did a clean install.
I have my printer set up, however whenever I try and print anything from any application I get a very unhelpful "Problem when printing" error, and nothing prints.
I also get the same error when trying to save to PDF.
My printer is a HP Deskjet 3750, and the driver is the one included with 10.4 (as per HP's instruction), but I don't think it's a driver problem as Save to PDF gives me the same error.
I've already tried repairing permissions. Anyone know what could be causing this. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Bugger. PSR is often a winner
You could try installing Gutenprint 5.0.1 available from Sourceforge (it's about 15MB). It's an updated version of the included GIMP-Print drivers and may repair/replace/install some of the core files. Otherwise you may have to contact Apple and see if you can get 10.4.9 mailed to you.

Missing field when printing labels with Address Book

I am would like to print the labels for my clients Christmas Cards, using AddressBook. When doing print > label, I get all their names and addresses on the labal formt that I want but the company name is missing. How do I get AddressBook to include the field "company" into the label ?
Thanks for help.

If you need to include the company's and individual's name, here's a work-around:
1) for each such card, you put the individual's name and leave the Company field empty.
2) Put the company name in the field for "Street"
3) Put the street address, including Apt. # in the field for "City"
4) Now, put the City, State, and Postal Code all in one field: the field for "Country".
5) save the card.
When printing labels, proceed as follows:
1) Print>File>choose your Avery label under "Layout" and then click "Label."
2) Here, you make sure to check the box so it will "Print country." Don't forget this step, or the whole plan is a failure.
This works, but it only works if the card is in-putted as described above. It won't work if your cards are already set-up with the "company" field and the "name" field.

Problem when printing booklets prints pages 1,2 and 11 as if I wants to print all

I am using XP and 2000 MS word
I am having a problem when printing booklets from time to time. I get it ready to print in booklet form with 12 pages and my printer gives me the options. “Print all” “current page” “selection” or “pages” Because it is booklet I want to print the first 4 pages to be folded and glued as a small book. When I inter 1-4 as the example shows some times it prints OK but about a week later it prints pages 1,2 and 11 as if it wants to print all. I thought it was the printer but think it could be in some setting of the word program or my computer it self.

Also does this (i.e. prints web pages over several pages despite changing settings) on my laptop at work with an HP printer. This started when I upgraded to Firefox 9.0.1.

Color management problem when printing

(sorry for the double post, since the problem affect both illustrator and photoshop and in fact also indesign) in decided to repost it here in the photoshop forum. thank you for any help!)
hi ! im in charge of a big print lab in a university. All macpro quad running on 10.6.4, CS5 all updated.
i have a major problem when printing from all 3 CS5 apps : Illustrator (being the worst), photoshop and indesign : each one produces a different print even if i use the SAME color management options (the application manage color using my own color profile file created with a i-one tool from greta macbeath and using eye-one match 3). im printing on a XEROX 7750gx laser printer. very cool printer never had trouble with colors before with it, in any case it was always the software part that was causing color problems (like i suspect in this case).
how can 3 softwares under the same application collection and brand, using the same color profile and options (IDENTICAL ! it's triple check all the options!) can produce 3 different prints when printing the same image (it's a color psd created under photoshop CS5) ?!
i remember having some trouble like this when we first got CS1 in our lab, but not this bad... i've checked everything... i realy don't know how to fix this problem...
the best setting so far is in Photoshop when the application manage the color and using my color profile file in perceptual mode. best output so far, not the best i had in the past, CS4 was way more perfect with color management.
i realy need to find a solition 'cause the students expect the color to be almost perfect (and they almost were using CS4 in the past...
thanx for any tips & help !
+

many thanx for your reply & help.
i've just recalibrated everything in my workflow : my screen (perfect!), my xerox 7750 color laser printer. i've recreated a new color profile file for the xerox color. and the same thing is happening : a kind of pink color all over my prints and every adobe's applications is printing different results. in photoshop i can manage the problem when forcing to print in perceptual mode. not perfect but it's fine. and with the other software specialy like ACROBAT and INDESIGN there's no option like this so it prints very badly. only option is to print in adobe 1998 rgb or SWOP cmyk (depending of the color space of the image of course)... the image is use for my test is RGB. images in CMYK are doing the same exact thing.
by the way for calibration is use an x-rite (greta macbeth) eye-one tool with eye-one match 3.6.3. i calibrate the screens and create color profile with this tool since ADOBE CS1 and never had this much trouble with colors...
here's a capture from photostop CS5 print dialog. when using the option "match print colors" you can see the image with all the PINK NOISE when using the print in RELATIVE colormetric mode (at the bottom right). using perceptual is "fine" (not color perfect but OK).
http://i53.tinypic.com/qzge12.jpg
it's worst in Acrobat and Indesign since i can't use perceptual colormetric print mode...
im realy starting to think that i better uninstal CS5 and go back to CS4...
thanx for your help !
