New bulk printing features
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.

Jacques,
thanks for the report, the error is caused by the presence of blank
spaces in the printer name.
I will fix it, but in the meantime you can try with another name.

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

RE: New bulk printing features
Posted by "Ajey.bitin" <aj...@palindromesoftware.com>.
Hi Jacoop & bsanders,
Thanks for your inputs.
Even I think, searching postscript drivers and printers is not a good
solution for it. I would really appreciate Jacopo advice, based on that only
I decided now to merge all PDFs for selected orders in a single one with the
help of iText and then will render it on screen from where they can be
easily printed. I'm planning to prepare temp PDFs separately, then merging
them in a single PDF and after that deleting all the individual order PDFs.
This concept will work in my case.

Ajey Kumar

I know for a fact it worked with a Xerox Phaser 8400DP and the
PDFCreator printer (which isn't a physical printer). It doesn't hurt to
give the driver a shot.

Thanks for the link. I've gone trough it once. It tells us "The printer

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?

RE: New bulk printing features
Posted by "Ajey.bitin" <aj...@palindromesoftware.com>.
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
http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/in/en/sm/WF06a/18972-18972-3328059-3328066-3328066-1814092.html
nothing has been specified. I think, my printer does not support postscript.
By the way, on which printer, you have tested all this?

Try this link: http://tinyurl.com/lvvj5n
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?

Hi,
I could not find anywhere postscript drivers for HP LaserJet 1018, the

not. Actually, there was no specification, Jacopo has mentioned that it
should be a Laser Printer only.

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.

Ajey Kumar
