printing problem

[Former Member]

Dear All,

I have printer configured as mentioned below

Device Type:-SAPWIN : MS Windows driver, latin1.

Device Class:- Standard Printer.

Access method: F:Printing on front end Computer.

Host printer : __Default

I have strange problem, when I print from this printer. Different printers are giving me different print outs.

What I have checked from my side.

Format of the paper is same for every printer.

Drivers are properly installed on local machine.

Any other suggestions?

Regards

Hi,

I have strange problem, when I print from this printer. Different printers are giving me different print outs.

Could you please elaborate this in detail about different print outs ? Mean while try to use Access method G in place of F by following SAP doc at Front-End Printing with Control Technology (Access Method G) - SAP Printing Guide (BC-CCM-PRN) - SAP...

and SAP Note   821519 - Front-end printing with control technology

Hi,

I tried printing 1 invoice from on 3 different printers, there was cut out from bottom from one printer. then on 2nd printer alignment was shifting. 3rd printer was printing it ok.

for 2nd invoice the logo was printed incorrectly (I reverse order) on 1 printer and for other 2 it was ok

for cheque it is printing cheque on A4 size paper but if I give envelope it will not print.

All of the above invoices print preview are OK and if I print it in pdf form its printing it fine.

Hi Dharmendra

Since the Invoice print is this any application level restrictions are there?

If possible use the SAP SPrint method

Hi,

your invoice, is it a SAPscript? a smartform?

you should avoid using Local printing for documents such as invoices.

I had to switch to a POST2 device type due to Adobe form creations causing issues with SAPWIN; the PDF device type fixed that, however wouldn't allow for duplex.  POST2 has worked flawless, until we deployed into Mexico and discovered that none of the printers were licenced for postscript printing (only PCL).

Hi SS

No there are no restrictions for printing from application level.

HI Gaurav,

I would try Access Method G for printing and let you know.

Hi

Just try to configure the printer in SAP SPrint method, it should solve you issue.

do not use local printing for Smartforms.

You should use real print drivers to real network printers for smartforms.

SAPWIN driver is a minimal driver which does not handle all layouts properly.
