Hi Ajey,

I implemented that stuff a few years ago and it is using FOP to do the job; I would suggest following Brian's suggestions or have a look at FOP docs to see if there is something you can do for your printer. Another option, a bit tricky, is to "bulk generate" file (pdf) in a folder and then run a script (outside of OFBiz, in your os) to send the files to the printer.

Good luck,

Jacopo

Thanks for the link. I've gone trough it once. It tells us "The printer must
have PS printing capabilities. This can be verified on the printer’s
Configuration Page." And on the configuration page of HP LaserJet 1018

nothing has been specified. I think, my printer does not support postscript.

By the way, on which printer, you have tested all this?

You should see "HP postscript (PS) emulation driver". If it doesn't
work, then google "HP LaserJet 1018 postscript" and click the first
link.

Hi,

I could not find anywhere postscript drivers for HP LaserJet 1018, the
printer I'm having. I'm not sure whether this printer supports
postscript or
not. Actually, there was no specification, Jacopo has mentioned that it
should be a Laser Printer only.

Do you know from where I can get postscript drivers for HP LaserJet
1018, if
there any?

Regards,

Ajey Kumar

Did you install the postscript driver for your printer? I just so
happened to need this feature in 4.0 and it was only locating printers
that had postscript printing capability,

Hi Jacopo,

I'm using the latest version of OFBiz and tried to do a bulk print
with
Orders. I'm using HP LaserJet 1018 for this purpose as you mentioned
"Laser
for now".

Sorry to say, but I'm not able to print Order PDFs in bulk manner as
it
is
throwing "invalid flavor exception". Can you please add some input
here
that
which printer (Laser) you used to test all this integration and
whether
the
Laser Printer I 'm using is capable to do all this operation or not?

I also tried to print all the supported flavor of my printer and got
that it
supports GIF, JPG, PNG, Octet-Stream etc flavors internally.

When I'm using "application/pdf" instead of "application/ postscript",
still
it is raising invalid flavor exception.

Any kind of help in this concern is highly appreciated.

Regards,

Ajey Kumar

As of rev. 521619 there is now the ability to submit an async print
request for many document (rendered from a screen definition with
fop)

and send it to a (laser, for now) printer.
You can test it by selecting the "Print" option in the find order
list

screen. You can optionally select a printer from the drop down box.
If no printer is selected the system will select the first that the
server's JVM can locate (so it must be defined in the server where
OFBiz
is running, even if it is a lan printer).

Let me know what you think (I did very few test, also with the help
of

David Shere), and I know that a lot can be done to improve these
feature.
