Print issue in R12

[satish]

Hi erman,

Print issue:

Version

Rhel 5 os
R12.1.3 app
11.2.0.4 db

Network printer

We are getting test print from Linux,but from application,we are getting below error

Error: lpr: Unsupported format 'application/octet-stream'

Also,when we migrate from old hardware to new hardware,will all printer related setting from application will exist  in new hardware when we clone it or do we have to register the printer again in application?

Any idea

Thanks
Satish

You have to do printer config in your new apps node.. All the printer definitions should be there, with the same names as the old node, and the drivers should also be there.

You may try copying the cups config.. from your old node to new node..
It is actually not hardware related, it is related with OS. .(considering you have network printers, and the required network config is in place).. We just use OS drivers to reach the network printers using the net and send them the print commands and content in the backend..

So if you are just doing a replatforming, and if you copied your OS as-is (or if you copied the config of your OS as-is), then there should be no problems with the printers.
