Programming / Re: winprt

Mike,

I set up a generic/text only printer but nothing ever prints - the lights light up, but no printing.
I also tried using the command you indicated but same thing - lights light up, no printing, no error messages.

Jeff,

I did try the universal driver but it seemed to indicate this needs to be a network printer - and it also indicated it will not work on an MFP printer, which this is.

Thanks,
Sam

Programming / winprt
« on: March 21, 2024, 02:26:24 PM »
I'm trying to set up a printer specifically for printing checks.  We had modified the hplaser device driver utility to print the checks via a network connection, and this has worked for many years.  The check printer has now been moved out of the office to someone's home, and they only have a VPN connection to the server (Winhost/Winslave) and a USB printer.  I've tried *windev*, and it prints nothing.  *winprt* does print to the USB printer, but it seems to ignore the modified hplaser device driver utility.  For check to line up properly it's important that the codes are sent to the printer from the modified device driver.  Any idea on what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,
Sam

yes, I'm getting the broken pipe message as well...but what does it mean? and why is it occurring (and not all the time)?

Programming / error 288
« on: June 23, 2020, 12:15:21 PM »
Hello,

I have a customer that is receiving an error 288 when trying to print.  The error occurs infrequently - perhaps once every 2 weeks or so.  Their server is running version 8.32, and their Windx clients (standalone) are also at 8.32.  I've seen this before if the server/Windx client are at different versions, but never when they are at the same version.  Thoughts?

Thanks,
Sam

ODBC / Re: Red Hat 7 systemctl start of ODBC server

FYI, to resolve this, I added an ExecStop statement to rc-local.service.

Mike,

We did set up an rc.local file that worked.  We have not rebooted until today.  Please see contents of rc.local below.  I simply did an init 6 to reboot.  The system displayed "A stop job is running for /etc/rc.d/rc.local  Compatibility  (9 min 9s  / no limit). Thoughts? I don't think the system ever rebooted and we had to hard boot it.

# cat rc.local
#!/bin/bash
# THIS FILE IS ADDED FOR COMPATIBILITY PURPOSES
#
# It is highly advisable to create own systemd services or udev rules
# to run scripts during boot instead of using this file.
#
# In contrast to previous versions due to parallel execution during boot
# this script will NOT be run after all other services.
#
# Please note that you must run 'chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.local' to ensure
# that this script will be executed during boot.

touch /var/lock/subsys/local
exec /usr/pxpiosvr/pxpiosvr -f /usr/pxpiosvr/pxpiosvr.conf -p 20222 &
[root@paper-rbconverting-com rc.d]#

Thanks,

ODBC / Red Hat 7 systemctl start of ODBC server
« on: March 31, 2020, 04:54:18 PM »
Can anyone please post a sample of a systemctl script that starts the pvxiosvr program?  What we have either gives an error trying to run the pvxiosvr program (states it is not a binary file) or it just does not run at all.  It appears that starting from the command line the program will run.

It's version 5.1 or 5.2...

Hello,

Having a very strange problem.  The particular client PC had many viruses on it.  I have cleaned all of the viruses.

When starting up the application (in a nthost/ntslave fashion) I will get an error that says that Providex has stopped working.  When I click on the details of the error, the fault module name is wsock32.dll_unloaded.

If I start up a Windx telnet session to the server, the application will run without any issues. 

I have tried running netsh winsock reset catalog to no avail.

Windx 6.20.5.0.

Ideas?

Thanks,
Sam

 I find myself between projects and am putting out the word that I am available for small or long term projects.  I have over 35 years of experience (27 years running my own company) with my main focus on wholesale distribution and accounting products (I'm practically an accountant without ever taking any CPA classes).  I also have a large amount of experience with UnForm, and Windows/Linux/Unix support. If you know of anyone who could possibly make use of my services, please contact me on this forum or sam@comprehensivedata.com.

Thanks,

Registration and Setup / Re: Version Discrepancy

what makes this even stranger is that installing with Windx 11 the software appears to operate properly with one exception.  There are certain tabs that are displaying with blank labels; if you click on the blank labels, the proper tab is displayed.  The customer is concerned that there may be more of this in the software.

That being said, it sure would appear that the proper libraries are installed and there is not a firewall issue.  I would think that would eliminate permission issues as well.   Which brings me full circle in wondering why it installs on the server as version 11 instead of 10...

Thanks,
Sam

That is what my understanding of the activation keys should be, but it is not so.  We are running in a *plus\cs\client environment (old nthost/ntslave) and one would think that running the same version of Windx (which is 10.20) that it would run just fine.  This is not the case.  We can reach the opening menu of the software but when you try to run any program the menu disappears and does not return.  On occasion we will get a windows error indicated that pxplus is not running on the client.  Thoughts?

Hi Devon,

The activation keys (AFAIK) are version 10, not version 11.  The customer is upgrading servers (from 32 to 64 bit) and we are using the same activation key.  On the old server ./pxpreg -v shows version 10, but the new server it shows version 11.  Why? I'm stumped.

Thanks,
Sam

Hello,

I am downloading and installing version 10.20 of Pxplus on Red Hat 7.5 (using the 64 bit link).  Every time I attempt to install the activation keys it is installing as version 11.  My preference is to make this version 10.  Any ideas?

Thanks,
Sam
