Print SCU and Print SCP

[mail2vguna]

Hi

I got trial license of DCMPRINT recently.

Print SCU - sending images with proper parameters to Print SCP correct?

Print SCP - Receiveng images from Print SCU and create PostScript code PostScript code from the incoming print jobs from Print SCU that may be spooled to a PostScript printer(DICOM Printer like Agfa).

What is the default parameters for Print SCU and Print SCP ?
Does both service needed for Print DICOM images in the DICOM Printer.?

when i tried below command
>> tcpsrv_e.exe --debug --config tcpsrv.cfg
i am getting below error
I: --DCMPRINT: $dcmtk: tcpsrv_e v3.6.5 2019-10-28 $
I: --Copyright (C)1994-2011, OFFIS e.V.

D:

E: invalid DISPLAY file ... ignoring
F: unable to load printer characteristic curve from 'printer.dat'

Kindly help me to move forward. Thnkas

I would try to disable the Presentation LUT SOP Class in the configuration file of the Print SCP (which requires the calibration of the output according to the GSDF).

Hi

Thanks for your response.

Should i change anything in the tcpsrv.cfg file?

also can you clarify below question. Thanks in Advance.

Sure. I would set:

Code: Select all

[[DIMSE]]
[Service Classes]
PresentationLUT = NO

For the other questions, someone from OFFIS should provide an answer (since they made this software available to you).

Hi

Thanks.

Still I am getting same error after change PresentationLUT = NO
in tcpsrv.cfg file.

Do the needful. Thanks.

Hi

For your reference i have shared the some part of the tcpsrv.cfg file

[[DIMSE]]
; -----------------------------------------------------------------------

; -----------------------------------------------------------------------
; This section is mandatory. It defines the SOP classes and Meta SOP classes
; supported by the print server.
[Service Classes]

; Enables or disables the support for Basic Grayscale Print Management.
; Optional setting, default is NO. At least either Basic Grayscale or Basic Color
; Print Management should be enabled, otherwise the print server only serves
; as a Verification SCP.
BasicGrayscaleMetaSOPClass = YES

; Enables or disables the support for Basic Color Print Management.
; Optional setting, default is NO. At least either Basic Grayscale or Basic Color
; Print Management should be enabled, otherwise the print server only serves

BasicColorMetaSOPClass = YES

; Enables or disables the support for the optional Basic Annotation Box SOP class.
; Optional setting, default is NO.
Annotation = YES

; Enables or disables the support for the optional Print Job SOP class.
; If print job is not supported, the N-ACTION command will return only
; after the print job has ended unless the AlwaysForkPrintJob option
; in section [Compatibility] is activated (see below).
; Optional setting, default is NO.
PrintJob = YES

; Enables or disables the support for the optional Presentation LUT SOP class.
; Please note that the Presentation LUT SOP class requires the print server
; to create calibrated hardcopies. DCMPRINT supports that, given that the
; characteristic curve of the printer is known. See [[PRESENTATIONLUT]]
; for details.
; Optional setting, default is NO.
PresentationLUT = NO

But still i am getting below error.

W: can't open DISPLAY file ... ignoring
E: invalid DISPLAY file ... ignoring
F: unable to load printer characteristic curve from 'printer.dat'

Kindly help me to fix this issue. Thanks in Advance.

The solution is much simpler: You can deactivate the loading of the calibration file "printer.dat" by removing (or commenting out) the line
Characteristics = printer.dat in the configuration file:

Code: Select all

; Characteristics = printer.dat

Alternatively, a sample printer.dat file is provided in the download package, in the /share/dcmtk/ subdirectory.
