[Former Member]

Hello everybody,

I'm trying to print the invoice (Smartform) from LOCL and an other printer.

I have not the same issue at the end.

Does someone know how a smartform can be different from a printer to another ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

The difference is that,in a certain form for two differently configured printers, there seem to be a difference in the output of characters per inch (the distance between characters which gives a layout problem - text in two lines instead of one.

It happens when the two printers having different Printer Controls' if you go to SPAD Menu (Spool Administrator Menu) you can see the difference in the Printer Control and if you make the Printer control setting for both the printers as same. then it will be ok. and also u have to check what is the device type used for both the output devices.

Check the following link,

Hope it helps u..

Hi,

When printin on the LOCL printer, will you leave SAP and print on you PC printer.

Priner definition in SAP don'nt know what type of printer the LOCL printer is, becasuse that depend on every ones PC setting.

But if you use a printer completly specified in SAP, you printouts and the printer works much better together.
