Printer configurations

Former Member — Wed, 15 Feb 2006 11:47:24 GMT

Hi,

When i print a document with WORD, WORD extract printer parameters form printer control panel of my Windows XP. Concretely Word catches number of copies (3) and the interleaved (checkbox is on) of the printer control panel of my Windows XP.

When i print a form, SAP creates a SPOOL order and print BUT SAP don't catches parameters from printer control panel of my windows xp. Why?

I want that SAP read my default print parameters form my system.

A lot of thanks in advance.

regards
