Post by Chris NewmanPost by DavePost by Dave Plowman (News)A much loved app here. I have this RPC and a PC together with shared
monitor and keyboard, etc. UniControl makes using the best for each job
near seamless. Printing obviously, but shared clipboard and ULR launch
perhaps used even more.
On the PC side, it is set to load at boot. This no longer works after
perhaps a Win10 upgrade, and I now have to load it again manually.
Any fix?
I had this problem a while back after a Win 10 update.
So Windows side in Run (Spyglass) I put (Sans quotes)
"%appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup"
And into that directory (Folder) I put a "Uniprint.exe" Shortcut.
No problem since, even after a lot of Win 10 updates.

There are probably other ways, but that was the one that stuck.
My UniServer runs at startup but as soon as I send it a print job it
closes.
I would agree that after a recent update to Win 10 Uniserver is a little
odd. On my win 10 machine, which is brand new, with the latest version of
10, Uniprint runs nearly every time on startup. I have it set up so that
the miniature icon appears on the icon bar on the right when it is
running. However when I attempt to print for the first time, I get an
error message from the Risc side, an ARMX6 that says something like the PC
is not connected or Uniserver is not running. What normally cures this is
running the full Uniserver application on the ARMX6 and selecting
Uniprint.
When this repopulates with list of printers, so yes it can see the PC
side, reselect the default printer which will be already highlighted, and
then clicking apply, everything then normally works ok. On the odd
occasion I also have to reboot the PC and then do the uniserver reselect.
NB if you get a network timeout error, you will normally have to reboot
the Win PC as if you check Uniprint you will normally find it thinks it is
receiving data, and if you try to cancel it says it will cancel at the end
of the page, but since it does not receive anymore data it will not clear,
so a reboot is the only option, or use of the Task Manager to kill
Uniprint, followed by a manual running of Uniprint.
