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 On Jun 10, 2009, at 10:52 PM, Ajey.bitin wrote:
Thanks for the link. I've gone trough it once. It tells us "The printer musthave PS printing capabilities. This can be verified on the printer’s Configuration Page." And on the configuration page of HP LaserJet 1018 http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/in/en/sm/WF06a/18972-18972-3328059-3328066-3328066-1814092.htmlnothing has been specified. I think, my printer does not support postscript.By the way, on which printer, you have tested all this?

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 asitis throwing "invalid flavor exception". Can you please add some inputherethat which printer (Laser) you used to test all this integration andwhetherthe 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.

You can test it by selecting the "Print" option in the find orderlistscreen. 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 whereOFBizis running, even if it is a lan printer). Let me know what you think (I did very few test, also with the helpofDavid Shere), and I know that a lot can be done to improve thesefeature.Jacopo-- View this message in context:http://www.nabble.com/New-bulk-printing-features-tp9630723p23904252.htmlSent from the OFBiz - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.-- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/New-bulk-printing-features-tp9630723p23970409.html Sent from the OFBiz - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.-- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/New-bulk-printing-features-tp9630723p23970788.html Sent from the OFBiz - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
