Background Job not Printing TOs immediately

[former_member705818]

Hello experts,

I am having an issue with printing Transfer Orders created by background job, the output requests are sent to the output controller with status '-' . It works when I manually create the TOs or if I run the RLAUTA10 program with my userID in SE38 .

I have set the background job user default print parameters in SU3 to print immediately.

Also in the Job step, I have set up the print parameters to 'print immediately'

I have assigned printer for sorce storage type & set the indicator to use the source sto type in OMLV, The printer seems to be determined correctly, I've checked the Spool request name & printer in the spool controller, only issue seems to be the print not being triggered immediately.

Not sure, if there is some other setting that I have to make to be able to print the TOs created by the background job immediately.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I figured the issue by running a Authorization trace on the Background user, it's missing Auth to O/P device, works fine after it's added in the user role.

whether the printer which you assigned is configured in SAP (network printer)? or LOCL?

printing may not happen if LOCL(background job)

The printer assigned is a network printer defined in SAP and not LOCL, the network printer is determined correctly, I can see it in the print parameters in output spool.

Thanks
