some other stuff, also I can not do, Special - Copy File and print my report

Hai All,
We have a requirement to print dunning letters on a
color printer which should print information in red
color.
We use Oracle Financials 10.7CUI on VAX/VMS O/S
The printer does print red color when the command
given from the normal prompt, but when printed thru
Applications prints in black. I tried giving some
initializing characters like 'escape Red' as suggested
by Oracle Support in the Printer Driver Screen. This
did not solve my problem.
Any further help on this issue whould be appreciated.

Hi,
Please check if you have the proper prt file under $FND_TOP/(reports or srw
).
If you do not have and want to create a new driver , create a new driver.
For all init strings, please check for HPLJ5 driver settings on OraApps
Search Engine.
I asked for HPLJ5 drivers earlier and got some replies.
Also check if the printer is working fine with "lpstat -a printer_name"
Hope this helps.

If you are not trying out a NEW Printer driver file, most probably you might
have given wrong name in Printer style/printer driver definition screen
under appropriate name. You can check there.
If you are trying a new printer driver with additional escape sequences, you
have to place that file in $FND_TOP/srw directory with an file extension as
".prt"

I have done this before. It is more of a post process but it does not
allow print to be send to the print queue. The user will be able to
select it but then they get an error in the request log indicating they
are not authrorized.
You need to set up a new profile option that the admin will control
with a Yes or No option. Now a small script needs to be created and
set up that will process the print request including the new profile
option. In the printer driver you will call this script instead of the
lp command.
I am assuming you are on a UNIX operating system for your concurrent
managers.
If you would like more info please email me.

What type of Report (STD/FSG) are you printing?.
Check the style for the report if std. report.
If this style is not defined, then it may not print.

Subject: RE: Printer - No output
Hi,
I always give the end users a type check list for different problems.
May be, they look silly but it works out always:
If you are not seeing the print out:
1. Check if the printer is ON / working fine / Tray is not empty.
2. Check if you mentioned printer name.
3. Check if yuo mentioned copies or not....
4. Check if the output is being generated in the OUTFILE or not.
5. Try to print out the report onto printer using the command used for
the printer driver definition:
like "lp -c -d"$PROFILE$......blah...blah..."
6. Print the report onto another printer to check if it is printing onto
other
printers or not...
7.Check if the printer is accepting requests or not using "lpstat -a
PRINTER_NAME
from OS prompt....
8. Try to print a test page from prompt....
9. Check if the setting "Print Output" is YES in the Conc. Prog. Properties
or not.
Others,
Please add if some more things have to be added to this CHECKLIST.
Above check list tells you exactly at what place the error occurs.
For ex: you are able to print from prompt and not from report....there is
problem
in Application not at OS....
All the best....

thanks for the list i'd have to say that they are all checked though ill

cant use the unix lp command cause we're running applications on windows
nt, so im using the print /d: command.
could you please do me a favour and tell me wheres the best place i
could look for the driver and style definitions of hp4000 N, or could
that not be ther reason ofr it not printing, im looking through the HP
site but it isnt working out too well.

Subject: RE: Printer - No output
Naqi,
You have to make sure that you register your printer name with the exact
name and path of your printer on your network or it won't work. For example
if your printer is attached to server1 and your printer name is printer1,
you will have to register the printer name as "//server1/printer1."
You should make sure you can print from your Oracle server from a DOS window
to this printer. This would be the first step to check. If the concurrent
program completes normal it packages the file with a print command and
passes it to the operating system. You are correct, for Win NT you need to
use Print /D:$PROFILES$.PRINTER $PROFILES.FILENAME.
We also had to set up an IP address for the printer.
Once you have have established printing you will have to play around with
the drivers. We had a 4000 N printer at a previous client site. We had a
great deal of trouble printing to a network printer, due to the way the
network was designed.
Hope this helps,
Richard

Evergreen Check printer not printing fixed stuff

We just got an HP 4050N printer and a Docuguard Box with a PCMCIA card

The data comes out and the signatures but not the fixed stuff that should
come
off the PCMCIA card like the logo's, boxes, lines, "Pay to the order of",
etc.
If we print from a SUN Box it works correctly, but from the IBM RS6000 it
doesn't. We have the AIX printer queue set to pass through mode with the
driver
an HP4000 driver but it doesn't work.
Does anybody have an Evergreen setup to print your entire checks with
signatures
and everything working on an IBM RS6000. If so, what printer driver works
and
how do you set up the queue?
Any help is appreciated.

We use a different 3rd party package besides Evergreen, but when we switched
