The OS printing queue shows us nothing of what other machines are printing because it's a local buffer. So that must mean the printer has an onboard queue right? So why do we even have printing queues if we can't see what else is being printed?
The "print queue" is the visible part of the printer service/daemon that was originally a program called SPOOL (for Simultaneous Peripheral Operations On-Line) such as for the HASP/OS360 operating system running on IBM 360 mainframes. (IMO SPOOL is one of the best acronyms coined because it is also an English word (both noun and verb) that can be used as an analogy to describe how the printer service works.)
"Line printers", or "dumb" printers that accept only plain text are essentially obsolete, having been replaced by "page printers" that accept input in some type of page description language (e.g. Postscript, PCL). Since more data than just the text for the page, that is, the complete page in PDL form, has to be sent to the printer, older interfaces such as the "Centronics" parallel port and RS-232 serial have been replaced by USB and Ethernet (wired and wireless).
Note that having an Ethernet interface and calling it a "network printer" does not mean that it is can perform like a networked "print server". The "network printer" configured in "peer-to-peer" mode actually requires a "printer driver" to be installed in every PC that wants to use that printer. That "network printer" is then actually installed as a local printer to the PC, but negotiates and uses that printer through a network connection. Print jobs to the "network printer" have to be held in the local queue just like jobs to other local printers.
Page printers are not sent the entire document (as you imagined), but a "page" at a time. Of course the "page" would be in PDL form, and could be broken up into lines and packets, depending on the transfer medium. Since these are page printers rather than printer servers, there is no mass storage (i.e. hard drive), and have to hold each "page" in local memory until it is printed. A "flow control" protocol (aka handshaking) would be in place for the PC to transmit the page fragment or page when more memory is available on the printer.
Unless you really have a print server with mass storage (e.g. a hard disk drive), the "network printer" really cannot accept a complete or multiple documents unless they are all small enough to fit in the printer's RAM. The PC's printer queue has to be used to order & store the pending print jobs originating from the PC. Each PC on the network using that "network printer" has to contend for that shared printer. The "network printer" could maintain its own queue of job requests from all PCs, or at least which PCs are requesting service. Note that it would only know of requests, and not hold any page data (that is still on each PC) until the printer is ready to begin that job.
Hopefully the printer has a request queue to order maintain a first-come-first-printed job list. Otherwise one PC could be crowded out by other PCs. You still need a the local queue because that is how you still submit print jobs on the local PC. Unless you have a real network print server with mass storage to hold your print job, your print job will have to reside on your local PC until it can be moved. Check with the printer's (or server's) manufacturer for a network-based app or browsing tool to query the printer's (or server's) queue/status.
This is a common resource allocation problem in computer science: multiple users/consumers contending for one resource. In this case (which has no complications) the printer or server can receive each request, and then prioritize them in some order. Flow control will ensure that the printer is not overloaded. Another possible solution (that simplifies the workload at the printer) would be a token-passing scheme. The PC that has received the "token" is granted use of the printer for one job. After that one job has been printed, that PC must pass the token to another PC that has jobs in its queue.
Hello everyone I just wanted to share my discovery. I have been having an issue where some .gcode files sliced on Cura were not showing up on the SD menu of my Creality 3D CR-X. I went and updated the firmware and I was still having the issue. Simple solution is to shorten the name of the file.
I have just spent TWO HOURS trying to work out why my brand new CR-X printer wasn't seeing files on the SD card. What was REALLY frustrating was the fact that I could see the first file I created but none others.
Some Creality printers (which ones depends on the mainboard) have a 16 character limit for the first part of a file name. It would be really helpful if Creality actually told people that. The same group of printers don't deal with SD cards over 16gb and once again, that isn't stated anywhere.
the tragedy here is - it's still not completly fixed... some files are still not shown.. if the filename is to short i won't work either - my CR-10-S V2 can't see a file: 'screw.gcode' - but i can see 'screwthis.gcode' (same file, renamed)
Made an account just to elaborate how this worked for me. This was my first custom print using Cura instead of the pre-made Gcodes on our Anet E4 printer. Some files were not appearing initially, I don't know what I did to make it appear but that wasn't the main problem. The "Print" button on our printer did nothing when using the custom Gcode, but worked perfectly when using the pre-made GCodes. I've tried modifying some configurations, tried changing G-code flavor from Marlin to Repetier, tried formatting the SD card, tried using a different card, but nothing. I tried renaming to a shorter file name like OP said and to my surprise, it worked. "Print" started working again and my file began printing.
You can print from your Chromebook with most printers that connect to Wi-Fi or a wired network. Currently, Chromebooks don't support Bluetooth printing. Check that your printer is compatible with your Chromebook.
If your printer doesn't appear in the manufacturer or model drop-down menus, Chromebook may not support your printer. You can try to use a "Generic" Postscript Printer Description (PPD) from the drop-down menus or you can specify your own PPD.
Double-Sided: Choose On from the Double-Sided pop-up menu to print on both sides of the paper (also called duplexing or two-sided printing), if your printer has this capability. You can also choose On (Short Edge) to set the document to print ready for binding at the top of the page.
If you print a document and see unexpected margin sizes or clipped text, there may be a conflict between the margins set for your page size in the app and the nonprintable area of the page set for your selected printer. Try setting the nonprintable area for the page size to 0 (zero). For information about how to set the nonprintable area associated with a page size, see Print on unusual sized paper by creating a custom paper size.
That is quite odd. It sounds like a system (or other) service gets into a conflict with LO/Calc. Can you repeat with a Writer document? Can you open a Writer document after the Calc hang? Are the files stored locally or on a network? Is an attached printer turned on/off at the time? You will likely have to work your way through a series of these types of tests to determine exactly what is happening. As @mahfiaz indicated you can run a backtrace, although under Windows it is more complicated.
Some more info. When calc is hanging the following happens: Some writer documents works, some not. I will analyze the difference in a moment. Base documents works. No .ods files works but, and this is strange, .xls file works fine!
For P1P, all printer logs are saved to the micro SD card and placed in the "logger," "recorder," and "corelogger" folders under the root directory of the micro SD card. There is no need to worry about the log filling up the micro SD card because the total size of all files will be limited to 600-700 MB.
The P1P's log files can be automatically uploaded using Bambu Handy through the network, just like the X1 series. The upload speed should be approximately 150 kbps when the network conditions are favorable. When logs are uploaded, you can choose a time frame. If necessary, you can select a specified time period for the logs to narrow the overall amount of logs sent and decrease upload time.
For an installation application to install a printer on a print server, it must call the spooler's AddPrinterDriverEx function to load driver files and then call the spooler's AddPrinter function to make the printer available on the server.
The AddPrinterDriverEx function requires a DRIVER_INFO_3 structure as input, and the AddPrinter function requires a PRINTER_INFO_2 structure as input. The default Windows 2000 or later printer class installer, Ntprint.dll, reads printer INF files to obtain string values that must be placed in these structures before the functions are called.
2 (ExcludeFromSelect): The device ID of a device that should not be shown in the Select Device dialog or in the Add Printer Wizard. For printers, this includes all PnP entries of devices that have duplicate device descriptions in the INF file; for example, devices that have multiple entries for infrared and parallel enumeration or for another bus. The ExcludeFromSelect entry, unlike all others in this table, must appear in the Control Flags section of the INF file. See INF ControlFlags Section for more information.
