Re-printing stored print objects

#1 Post by martinrame »

Hi, I'm using dcmprint (tcpsrv) to generate postscript files from Dicom Print modalities.

As I have to fine tune the parameters for each modality/page size I would like to generate a stored print object (this is already working in tcpsrv) and then re-send them to tcpsrv, but when I send using dcmprscu I get some errors, but I can open those stored print files from DicomScope.

Is there a way to send stored print objects to tcpsrv?.

Did you already check dcmprscu from the DCMTK?

Yes, that's what I use to send stored print objects to tcpsrv. Are you sure it works?.

Ah, sorry, seems that I read over the name of the tool *shameonme*

What errors do you get? Would be helpful to see the debug output of the tool.

Here's the output of the command dcmprscu +d -c ./printers.cfg -p DCMPRINT ./sp_00001.dcm

Code: Select all

Re: Re-printing stored print objects

I guess the error message ("spooler: unable to locate image file in database") is clear: the Hardcopy Grayscale Image that is referenced from the Stored Print object cannot be found in the "database" (i.e. in the index file "index.dat" that is used by DICOMscope's underlying networking and printing tools).

And how can I generate that file?.

The dcmprscu tool has been developed in order to be used together with dcmpsprt. Both are just supporting tools for DICOMscope.

So, isn't a quick (command line) way to just take the stored print files generated by tcpsrv and re-send to it?. The only method is opening the stored print files with DicomScope?.

The Stored Print object does not contain the images (Pixel Data). That's why you also need the Hardcopy Grayscale Images. Create all required files with dcmpsprt and you should be fine.

Yes, the tcpsrv create both, the sp_xxx.dcm file and the HG_xxxx.dcm files. Then, how can I send those to the tcpsrv again?, without DicomScope.

Somebody from OFFIS should answer this since DCMPRINT is not part of the public DCMTK... maybe, it works if you register the SP and HG files to the "index.dat" with the tool "dcmqridx".

Great, I didn't know about that tool. I'll try it.

Both the DICOM print implementation in the free toolkit, and DCMPRINT have the ability to store incoming print jobs using the DICOM Stored Print and Hardcopy Grayscale/Color Image SOP Classes.

When you are using the DCMPRINT print server (tcpsrv), you can use the --stored-print and --forward command line options to forward a stored print job to another print server.
If I remember correctly, the name of the stored print file (SP*) is the parameter to --stored-print, and the print server assumes that the images related to this stored print instance are in the same directory.

The print server and print client in the public DCMTK (dcmprscp and dcmprscu) use a slightly different storage format, which is also used by DICOMscope and the dcmqrscp archive:
All DICOM files reside in one directory, and there is a binary index file named "index.dat" in the same directory that is used to lookup files. The index file can be manually generated
with the dcmqridx tool, which is also part of the free toolkit.

I hope this provides some clarification. I would encourage you to read the manual pages of these tools as they provide more information.
