13:19 sandbergja Hi everyone!  I am getting reports that when staff print out a patron's receipt, the printer prints the receipt and then just continues to spit out the whole roll of receipt paper.  How should I troubleshoot that?
13:22 mmorgan sandbergja: Are they using Hatch?
13:22 sandbergja nope -- I don't believe so
13:24 sandbergja confirmed -- no hatch
13:25 mmorgan I've never heard of a whole roll of receipt paper getting pushed out, but when printing via the browser, printing the headers and footers cause a lot of extra paper to get pushed out. In the browser's print preview, there's a checkbox for that, I believe.
13:25 * mmorgan has to run out for a bit but will read up later.
13:26 sandbergja mmorgan++
13:28 collum We have had instances where the paper size pulls from the window's default printer, instead of the paper size for the receipt printer.  The quick solution for this is to make the receipt printer the default.
13:36 rhamby sandbergia I've seen that when the papersize is wrong / pulling default
13:38 jvwoolf sandbergja: We have instructions on how to set up the browser for printing without Hatch written up if you want to see them
13:38 jvwoolf Let me know if you need Chrome or Firefox
13:41 sandbergja jvwoolf: I would love that!  Both would be helpful
13:41 sandbergja For firefox, it looks like if we don't use the firefox print preview screen, and use the system print dialog instead, things are working correctly
13:44 jvwoolf sandbergja: Chrome - https://tinyurl.com/yrww8x9d
13:45 jvwoolf sandbergja: Firefox - https://tinyurl.com/4d9h7fk4
13:45 jvwoolf We have Hatch set up in there too, but without Hatch is first
13:45 collum In the preview screen the header and footer option, as mentioned above, is hidden under More settings.  That's been our culprit.
13:54 Bmagic sandbergja: make sure the Windows printer settings (printing preferences from the right click menu on the print in the control panel) is set to the correct paper size
16:06 jeffdavis Is there a function or a quick formula to determine what a vis_attr_vector value represents?
16:11 jeffdavis e.g. `select * from search.calculate_visibility​_attribute(6,'bib_source')` returns 268435462, but given 268435462 in vis_attr_vector I don't know how to get to "ah, that means bib_source = 6"
16:38 jeffdavis 268435462 = 1 << 28 | 6
16:39 jeffdavis but I'm not sure how to reverse the operation
16:41 mmorgan jeffdavis: I can't help, but am also curious.
