Report for unused active printers

[Former Member]

Hello experts,

we just searched the marketplace and google for an report how shows active but unused printers in a system.

Also we checked options to filter printers for criteria in transaction "spad",

Does anyone can suggest a report for showing not used printers?

Sincerely

Hi Gerhard,

If your printer server is under OS Windows, you can use a powershell script:

#requires -Version 2.0

<#

Status information for a printer as below.

Value,Meaning

1 (0x1) ,Offline

3 (0x3) ,Online

#>

Get-WmiObject win32_printer | select name, printerstatus, detectederrorstate

The column "printerstatus" shows state of printer (1 for online and 3 for offline).

Hopefully these will help you.

BR,

Shinglon

Re: How to determine unused printers?

The BADI - EFG_SPOOL_OUTPUT seem not working fine as expected. The breakpoint was not triggered in when spool entry created.

Any idea?
