Printing on NOVELL iPRINT PORT always fails...

Tue, 05 Jun 2007 08:08:04 Z

Hi all,

trying to print a xps-file via Batchwriter/SerializerWriterCollator on different bins of a "HP Laserjet 4050" printer, and therefor I modify the PrintTickets and set the correct values (1st page -> ns0000ption2 / rest pages -> ns0000ption3 which should be upper/lower bins)... I've read the values from the PrintCapabilites-XML of the PrintQueue (like I've posted also code in the other thread about InputBins...)

This works fine when printing on same driver with a local printport or LPT1: or even on a TCP-Port, but it doesn't work on a "Novell iPrint Port" (like ipp://print.company-corp.com/ipp/HPLJ4050N-OG1)

I keep getting following errors:

"System.Printing.PrintSystemException" wurde aufgefangen.
Message="Printing was canceled. Win32 error: Falscher Parameter.\r\n"
Source="System.Printing"
StackTrace:
bei Microsoft.Internal.GDIExporter.CGDIRenderTarget.ThrowOnFailure(Int32 hr)

bei System.Windows.Xps.VisualsToXpsDocument.Write(Visual visual, PrintTicket printTicket)
...

or sometimes this one:

"PrintTicket provider failed to retrieve PrintCapabilities. Win32 error: -2147467259"

_______________

The SAME CODE works fine on all other printers except on that one using a Novell iPrint Port...Also printing without modified PrintTickets doesn't work...
what's going wrong here? Does printing on a Novell iPrint Port not work with XPS?

I also have noticed that the PrintQueue-Name of this shared printer ("HPLJ4050N-OG1 on ipp://print.company-corp.com/ipp/HPLJ4050N-OG1") can't be used to retrieve the PrintQueue, but the sharename or queue-port-name...

anyone of Microsoft can help out on that issue??
somebody else noticed this behaviour also? any ideas?

regards,
Jo

I still can't get the print on a Novell iPrint Port and I assume it must be the PrintQueue-Name of this shared printer ("HPLJ4050N-OG1 on ipp://print.company-corp.com/ipp/HPLJ4050N-OG1") which causes the "Wrong Parameter"-Exception as the PrinterName get also passed to the GDIExporter.CGDIRenderTarget.StartDocument() and like I have already mentioned, you're not able to get a PrintQueue using this name...

Is this a bug??

I've sent this thread also to XPS-Info and no answer... anyone from MS can confirm this behaviour and maybe have a work-around for that issue??

Hi Daniel,

thanx for your reply - at least I know now that the issue isn't on my side and it's a bug which gets fixed in future releases...

btw, is there somewhere a list with fixed bugs for the upcoming xps-release/s ??

regards,
Jo

Please consider having this fixed. My project is at risk of being abandoned.

I am using a Ricoh Aficio 3235C.
