How to set up postscript Printer for printing graphics

[Former Member]

We have a requirement to print Structured graphics. I found out that we need to set up a postscript printer for it. After debugging I found out that the Device Type name should be either GRAPHICS or POSTGR or ZGRAP.

How can we set up such a printer?

Thanks in adv.

Hi,

The Device Type names that you have provided are not listed in the SAP Central Note for Printers/device Types

https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/8928

However, you can again re-check this note with your printer model and check what suitable device types should be used. As you will find inthis note:

"Device type definitions are stored completely in tables and can be individually adapted, modified or enhanced. If SAP performs such an adjustment for a customer, it constitutes a consulting service, and is generally charged seperately"

SAP has now released the SAP Printer Vendor Program - https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1130927, printer manufacturers can develop and release device types for their printers.

https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1100779 contains a list of all participants

Information about the support for new printer models is contained in the "Printer Vendor Wizard Note" of the relevant manufacturer. A complete list of all "Printer Vendor Wizard Notes" is available in Note 1097990. If your printer model is not listed in one of these "Printer Vendor Wizard Notes", proceed as described in Note 1103826.
