Hi All,

    Thanks for your support and patience. The issue has been resolved. Please find the Solution below:

The TCP/IP printer’s network settings by typing in the printer’s IP address in your windows internet explorer.

When connecting to the printer’s IP address: on internet explorer, you able to see the printer’s configuration settings. By clicking on the configuration link on the left menu and selecting the “Networking” Tab, at the bottom of the screen there is an option for ‘LPD Banner Page.’ The current setting for this option is ‘enable.’ the LPD option is set to ‘enable’ by default. Therefore, this option needs to be manually ‘disabled’ after the printer is set up

Thank you,

Narendra.

Hello Narendra,

Is the device type SAPWIN used?

If yes, please see in SPAD the List handing, for printer driver
the 'Do not use printer driver for ABAP list print' must be selected here.

Hello Narendra,

Do you get blank page when printed from LOCL output device which is frontend printing?

If blank pages are triggering only over remote printing,Please try changing access method to S in TCode SPAD for the output device.

Save, reset the cache for the device type and activate and then try again to shoot a print.

Let us know how it goes.

From LOCL the print is fine, no extra blank page.

Hello Narendra,

Which access method and device type do you use?

Is the Windows server the destination host?
