Pls, do not change any format you will not be able to print on your first printer.

Check if both printer use the same device type in Tcode "spad"

If not be aware device types influence the printer language, are both printer printing in the saame language either PCL or PostScript (PS) if not change one of your printers to at least print in the same language better use the same devicetype.

Test again and let me know what are the results?

Hi Michael,

I've changed the printer device type to be the same with the initial one, but it didnt work, still the layout looks expanding, where to find the setting for PCL or postscript

hi Michael,

can u please clarify how to check on printer language

[Former Member]

printing is SAP is controlled by the device typ (see transaction SPAD)

SAP provides PCL DeviceTypes which create a PCL datastream, if devicetype and your printer "MATCH" then each print (same printrequest in SAP) MUST show the same result!

Tell me the devicetype you have choosen and the printer (physic al Hardware)you are using.

Most of the device types are PCL. To check that select Transaktion "spad", select all your printers with "*", now go to your printer A and klick on the devicetype and look in the field "driver" here you MUST have the same as on your printer B........

If Printer A and Printer B are identical then reprint from "sp01" the job which had problems. He MUST be identical now, otherwise your 2 printers are NOT identical implemented in SAP!!

Hi,

1.Have changed the Settings in SCOT for the printer B.

2.The fonts and Tray size need to set for the Printer B.

Hi,

what exactly doesnt fit? are the fonts too large? or the layout ruined? Please clarify.

the layout is not ruined, it becomes expanding and wider so it doesnt fit the paper

hi

change page format u have in script , according to ur printer and layout should be fit in that.

this will resolve ur problem.

or give paper in printer of suitable type so it can have complete layout print.
