RE: Printing Issue

2010-11-04 Thread jsmrekar
I have had the issue with only one HP printer and that was an Officejet AIO 
7400 series. I finally had to use a different PDF reader, I switched to Foxit. 
after that I did not have the issue. 

Adobe was the only app that gave me the issue.

Re: Printing Issue

2010-11-04 Thread Tom Miller
If you can print direct via IP and not have these issues, then it may be a 
server driver or permissions issue.  I had a permissions issue on my Terminal 
Servers and had to manually set the perms.  
 
See if this helps:

RE: Printing Issue

2010-11-04 Thread Miller Bonnie L .
I missed the mention of word docs--we've only had issues with PDFs, or at least 
I've not heard about Word docs not printing in the same manner (they disappear 
in to cyberspace).  Adobe reader or Standard here, versions 9.x AFAIK.  Might 
be 8.x on Standard, but I haven't seen if one of those has any issues.  Haven't 
had much time to try other drivers yet since we have had the workaround.

Interesting—we’ve been seeing the same thing here since school started in early 
September and I’ve found little online about the issue.  Our print servers are 
currently WS08 R2 using the HP Universal drivers, which could be the same 
driver on WS03 if you are using the universal driver.  Clients are mostly XP 
with a smattering of W7 and WS08 R2 (RDS)—I’ve seen the problem from both.  
Doesn’t seem to matter if we use PCL5, 6, or PS for the driver.  Print servers 
are not DCs—we have a 2-node MS failover cluster.  We migrated to the WS08 R2 
cluster and Universal drivers late last spring, so I really don’t know if it 
actually started at that time but wasn’t reported until school started.

 

The only workaround I’ve found so far is to tell people to click on the 
advanced button and choose “print as image” when they print a pdf—always comes 
out correct when doing that, but it can take much longer to print.  We were 
running earlier HP Universal drivers in September when it was first reported, 
but I have since updated to the August 31st (current) release, with no

some light on.

 

Windows 2003 servers.  Print server is also a DC.  All HP LJ printers of 
varying models 42xx.  All with static ip and using ip ports on print server.

 

Clients are xp and 2003/citrix.  All printers are installed from the server so 
all using the same pcl 5 drivers.

 

Issue is random print jobs - usualy pdf files but can be word docs get "lost".  
Show up on print q but are never printed.

 

Event log shows event 6161 with source code 29.  When I google that it points 
to permissions issues but I do not get the access denied event and the problem 
happens when logged in as a domain admin.

 

Anyone got any other ideas?

If it were broken, I would agree, but mine at least is working now.  I ran my 
first HP Laser, an LJIII, until something expensive broke -- don't remember, 
but I think got more than 7 years out of that puppy.  The 5MP is its 
replacement and it's got to be a similar age.

Origin of this thread was about driver issues, not the printer, and looking 
back it seems the problem is on a machine that the original poster had upgraded 
from Windows 2000 to Windows XP.  I'm not surprised that he had problems, 
everyone I know recommends a clean install over an upgrade.  This is one reason 
I always set up the OS on one drive and all the software and data on another if 
I can.

Speaking of Model Ts, I still have my first printer, an OKI ML-92, that I got 
in about 1987; don't know if it'll run, though.

  I tried the in-storm demo on one of those, because the idea of a
compact color laser was really appealing.  The thing was slower than
molasses.  It took it like 20 seconds to print a page (3
pages/minute).  Reviews on the web seemed to corroborate.  What's your
experience with that?

  Certainly, the printer itself is so cheap as to be disposable.  They
might as well just not bother making the toner refillable; just throw
it out and buy a new one.  ;-)  Kind of sucks from a "Green"
perspective, but that particular fad hasn't caught on here.  Yet.

  As of around Q1 2008, HP took a real nose-dive for me.  I've found
third-party stuff to be both cheaper *and* more reliable than their
genuine HP branded stuff.  And if you call HP support for a cartridge
problem, they will refuse to honor the cartridge warranty if the
printer is not also under warranty.  It appears HP's printer division
no longer cares about customer service, while the third-parties do.
So really, in my book, having to depend on third-parties might be a
selling point.

  The new HP printer models don't last nearly as long as the old ones
did, either.

  So, poorer product quality, lousy customer service, for a six dollar
lifetime energy savings.  What's the benefit, again?

  TCO, indeed.

RE: Printing issue

2008-12-18 Thread Phillip Partipilo
Last years black friday (post-turkey day) I picked up a Samsung CLP-300 for
$99 after rebate.  Rarely print color.  Probably about 100 pages daily run
thru it (ebay/amazon business order printouts).  On Ebay you can get generic
black toner tubs for that thing under 20 bucks - no integrated drum.  The
imaging unit probably needs changing after 20,000 pages or so, and thats
only 100 bucks.
 
Really cheap printer to operate (and color to boot!)

Right, but that is why you have to consider the time and cost of keeping
them up and running, cost per page and replacement parts. In the case of
the LaserJet 5, everything you buy is going to be refurbished or third
party. That means you are at the mercy of the few people that provide
that stuff for price and availability instead of the competitive market.

I guess the point I am trying to make is that spending more than an 8

Not too long ago,  I assisted at a company that upgraded 210 
workstations from Win 2000 to XP Pro.  Of the 210, 6 had issues and 2 
were printer related (network printers).
Upgrading would avoid reinstalling the software which would be very 
time consuming.
I am trying to avoid a clean install.
Thank you for the input

in manufacture. In most cases man-hours are much more expensive than
just getting the product that is more easily supported and cost the end
user or customer less than a single day of consulting fees.

I'm not saying don't fix the current issue or anything (sometimes you
just have to make things work), but you can use these tools in the
future to differentiate your value to your customer/boss etc. from your
competition and peers.

Did you really run an upgrade from W2K -> XP ? Why that ? I've never seen one 
without driver probs after some time.
Run a clean install of XP and it will work.

Maybe remove the port in device manager and let it redetect?  Any other port

2008-12-17 Thread Dallas Burnworth
I apologize for not paying attention at the beginning. Not to get too
far off the subject, but LaserJet 5? Why are you still using that? They
are tanks and last forever, but compared to anything you can get today
you are hemorrhaging money just to keep it running. Here are 2 links
that will prove it.

HP LaserJet Power Calculator. (You will need to know what you pay per
KWH.) You can compare new HP printers to Legacy HP printers or current
competitive printers. This is really useful and for people trying to
save money any way they can, this tells them exactly where the money is
going.
http://hpbroadband.com/(S(q3zkyv45j14ant45zwnel1rb))/program.aspx?key=In
stantOnMFPs

LaserJet Page Cost Calculator. 70% of an HP printer's technology (not
sure what it is on other brands) is in the cartridge, so it is very
important to control the ongoing cost of every printer with consistency
in manufacture. In most cases man-hours are much more expensive than
just getting the product that is more easily supported and cost the end
user or customer less than a single day of consulting fees.
http://www.hp.com/large/ipg/mfp/competitive-comparison-m4345mfp.html?jum

Have you tried the LaserJet Series II drivers?  I've found those to be
an "old standby" for nearly any older HP LaserJet.

  How does the machine emunerate HKLM and decide which one is set as

they log into one of the lab computers it only captures the printers in 
the lab, when they go to the library they only capture the library 
printers, etc?  could it possibly be in group policy for

I 
dunno. I didn't waste too much time on it at the time. I used the Con2prt 
utility, put it in a batch file and put it if I remember correctly in the 
startup folder on the several pc's in question.

  I am 
  also having this issue with mandatory profiles. When I log in with an 
  mandatory account to a machine ( which has two three lexmark tcp/ip printers 
  installed on it ) how does it determine which printer is the one going to be 
  set as the default.
   
  I 
  think the list of printers installed on an NT machine is stored in 
  :
   
  HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers and the user 
  setting is stored in :
   
  HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Windows\Device  ( another list 
  of printer stored in HKCU\Sw\MS\WinNT\PrinterPorts
   
  How 
  does the machine emunerate HKLM and decide which one is set as default? Can we 
  apply a weighting somehow to force it??

Hello,
 
i was wondering if anyone knows a way to have 
machines print to a specific printer no matter who logs on.  for 
example we have a computer lab and each student has their own account.  
they have a roaming profile so they can log into any comuter in the school 
and retain settings etc.  server is w2k sp2 and workstations are w2k 
pro and nt 4.0.  is there a way so when they log into one of the lab

This 
isn’t as slick a group policy, but if you install the printers as local 
printers they will be machine specific instead of user specific. You can 
then change the port to point to the network printer.

In NT 
4 you could use con2prt.  Hopefully w2k has a local policy that'll work 
too.
