To change the printer name

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a requirement to change the printer name when the user tries to send the invoice with the same o/p type second time also.How to change the printer name?

[former_member196280]

We have a field in NAST table which tells us whether the copy is printed for the first time or more then once. Read the value basing on the output type (i.e., Message type in nast table)

Now in your driver program & modify the parameter OPTIONS that are passed to function module OPEN_FORM, goto Option and pass your printer name according to your requirement.

Ex: if <print> = 1.

<printer name> = 'XXX'.

if <print> GT 1.

<printer name> = 'YYY'

Close the thread once your question is answered.

Hi

When calling smartform, check nast table whether there is a processed output type present already for the document type, in such cases pass the print parameters by changing printe parameters to the required printer during call of smartform

Hi,

Also you can use VF31 transaction to send to a different printer with the processing mode as 2.
