It's new and prints fine. I print everything on it with no problems, until I print it from a windows software which gives me an error: "floating point overflow". The printer is fine, the software workes with any printer. Any suggestions? Oct 31, 2007 #1 Nodsu TS Rookie Posts: 5,837 +6 Do you mean that the software works with all other printers? Or that the software claims that it works with all printers in the world? Maybe there is a specifc setting in the HP properties that this program doesn't like? Paper size or DPI or whatever?

Floating Point Overflow error? Started by JosephECM , Oct 03 2011 02:44 PM Please log in to reply 2 replies to this topic #1 JosephECM JosephECM Advanced Member Members 55 posts Posted 03 October 2011 - 02:44 PM I am using RW14 and have noticed this (floating point overflow) error when trying to plot a multi-log strip log section http://www.techspot.com/community/topics/floating-point-error-for-printing.90768/ when I added a specific well to the section. Everything plots fine until I try to use this well. Any ideas? Back to top #2 Molly Molly Moderator Admin 622 posts Posted 03 October 2011 - 02:50 PM Hi JosephECM, Since a Floating Point Overflow error is often related to the data values, I'd check the data for that well, https://www.rockware.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=1814 specifically the Location data and the data types which are being displayed in the logs. If you can't determine any problem, feel free to zip your project folder and send it to tech@rockware.com. It's also helpful to have the bug report so that we can determine the internal process which was occurring when the error was triggered. Thanks Molly Mayfield RockWare Inc Back to top #3 Alison Alison Advanced Member Admin 362 posts Posted 04 October 2011 - 11:29 AM After looking at the data, we were able to track the problem to some strange values in the Offset field for the well construction diagram (-1.7E308). When these were changes to 0, the error went away and the striplog was plotted correctly.

"A" - worked fine with version 2.78.01 printing to a network printer HP CLJ 2600NPC "B" - new install with version 2.89.01 produced the msg. Floating Point OverflowNew events:PC "A" - updated from 2.78.01 to 2.89.01 and printed fine to HP2600NPC "B" - uninstall & reinstall http://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=25520.5;imode 2.89.01 - same message. No print.Printers on LAN system:HP Laser ColorJet 2600N using RJ45 as a network printer with drivers on PC "A"HP OfficeJet G55 using USB as a shared printer with drivers on PC "A"HP LaserJet 6P using parallel port as a https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19957-01/806-3568/ncg_goldberg.html shared printer with drivers on PC "A"These printers are used from the mentioned "A" & "B" and both computers can print from any windows based program with no issues, other than SCREENSHOT CAPTOR.Additional tests:PC "A" - 2.89.01 Image Prints to any one floating point of the three printers.PC "B" - 2.89.01 Image Prints to G55 & 6P, but not to 2600N, whether it's default or chosen from the list of printers in the dialog window. I hope I explained that clear enough to understand. worstje: I am not mouser, but if I were devving a program with this sort of error, I'd be interested in knowing how PC "B" acts when you install 2.78.01 on that one and print from it. If that also causes the error it would floating point overflow not be a 'new' bug but instead either a very old one that never got noticed, or a bug in the printer driver that only SC triggers. mouser: what worstje is asking would be useful.. however i also see a new release of the graphics library i use, so let me try building a new version of SC this weekend and let's see if we get lucky and it fixes the issue. redwingnut: As a reminder, I had reported that a "Floating Point" error was generated when I attempted to print to a shared printer (HP2600N) on my home LAN setup if the PC requesting the print DID NOT have the full drivers installed on it. But, other shared printers printed just fine. Only the one PC with the full driver install could print to the HP2600.Here's how I have my system setup at home:PC "A" is my main unit, server if you may. I do not use it for web surfing at all. On this PC "A" I installed all peripherals like printers and their respective drivers on it, external drives and all major software like CAD, Office packages, Photo editors and others. That's where I do the intensive work. Some folders and printers are shared with other PCs on the LAN setup. PC "B" and others are used for other purposes, mostly internet. That way if I pick up a virus on any of these PCs that was not detected and forces a complete system rebuild, I have minimum work to reinstall
by David Goldberg, published in the March, 1991 issue of Computing Surveys. Copyright 1991, Association for Computing Machinery, Inc., reprinted by permission. Abstract Floating-point arithmetic is considered an esoteric subject by many people. This is rather surprising because floating-point is ubiquitous in computer systems. Almost every language has a floating-point datatype; computers from PCs to supercomputers have floating-point accelerators; most compilers will be called upon to compile floating-point algorithms from time to time; and virtually every operating system must respond to floating-point exceptions such as overflow. This paper presents a tutorial on those aspects of floating-point that have a direct impact on designers of computer systems. It begins with background on floating-point representation and rounding error, continues with a discussion of the IEEE floating-point standard, and concludes with numerous examples of how computer builders can better support floating-point. Categories and Subject Descriptors: (Primary) C.0 [Computer Systems Organization]: General -- instruction set design; D.3.4 [Programming Languages]: Processors -- compilers, optimization; G.1.0 [Numerical Analysis]: General -- computer arithmetic, error analysis, numerical algorithms (Secondary) D.2.1 [Software Engineering]: Requirements/Specifications -- languages; D.3.4 Programming Languages]: Formal Definitions and Theory -- semantics; D.4.1 Operating Systems]: Process Management -- synchronization. General Terms: Algorithms, Design, Languages Additional Key Words and Phrases: Denormalized number, exception, floating-point, floating-point standard, gradual underflow, guard digit, NaN, overflow, relative error, rounding error, rounding mode, ulp, underflow. Introduction Builders of computer systems often need information about floating-point arithmetic. There are, however, remarkably few sources of detailed information about it. One of the few books on the subject, Floating-Point Computation by Pat Sterbenz, is long out of print. This paper is a tutorial on those aspects of floating-point arithmetic (floating-point hereafter) that have a
