Failed to generate report: java.awt.print.PrinterIOException
Guys. I'm getting this error, which I'm guessing is similar to this post: http://www.openvpms.org/forum/using-ubuntu-operating-system-openvpms
The situation is that I am testing Google Cloudprint and it's CUPS adapter with OPV. I am running Tomcat7 on ubuntu server. I can print testpages from the CUPs interface fine. However, when I try to print invoices etc I get the above java error. I can preview reports just fine and download them as PDFs. I have sent the error report in, any help appreciated.

OK - the error said my server was missing /usr/bin/lpr.
So I installed the package "lpr". Now the good news is that when I print say an invoice, there is no error message. The bad news is that nothing prints with no errors showing up.
Not quite sure where to turn to next.

I'm also running tomcat7 on a Ubuntu 14.04 headless server but with no significant print issues - now. I noticed that in comparing my customized version of /etc/cups/cupsd.conf to the default that it differs in that I have set "Browsing On" and "Allow all" under "Order allow, deny" in the section labeled <Location />
I have to admit that I'm not exactly sure which issue was I was trying to address there. It might simply have been remote acess, but I do seem to remember having similar issues as you during setup.
What happens if you run lpstat -a? If your printer is listed and accepting jobs, can you print using:
lpr testfile-name -P printer-name?

Sam,
Thanks for your reply. I can't actually print using the lpr command. When I run "lpstat -a" My printers are listed. I am testing the cups google cloudprint script. I can add remote printers to my server cups, and print test-pages from them from the cups webinterface. But I can't get OPV to print any jobs through these printers.

UPDATE - this is fixed.
Thanks to this post: http://www.openvpms.org/forum/ec2-implementation
My issue was that "lpr" was not installed by default on ubuntu server. Instead I installed it with (sudo apt-get install lpr). However, this was the wrong lpr I should have installed the cups-bsd package as per the post. Once this was installed and the server restarted, printing worked! So I can confirm what the previous post said - you can use google cloudprint and cups with OPV.
