Here is the coding i have done.Please let me know on Corrections.

DATA: l_t_params LIKE pri_params,

l_valid TYPE c,

l_f_repid LIKE sy-repid.

DATA: l_days LIKE pri_params-pexpi VALUE 5,

l_count LIKE pri_params-prcop VALUE 1,

l_list_text LIKE pri_params-prtxt,

l_text(12) TYPE c.

*&--FETCH DEFAULT PRINTER FOR A USER

CLEAR usr01.

SELECT SINGLE * FROM usr01 WHERE bname = sy-uname.

*&--IF DEFAULT PRINTER DOESN'T EXIST SET IT TO 'LOCL'.

IF usr01-spld IS INITIAL.

usr01-spld = 'LOCL'.

ENDIF.

*&--GET THE EXISTING DEFAULT PARAMETERS

CALL FUNCTION 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'

EXPORTING

no_dialog = 'X'

IMPORTING

out_parameters = l_t_params.

*&--MODIFY THE EXISTING DEFAULT PARAMETERS

CALL FUNCTION 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'

list_name = l_text

new_list_id = 'X'

line_size = 255

abap_list = 'X'

line_count = 65

layout = 'X_65_255'

receiver = sy-uname

no_dialog = 'X'

Hi,

Go through the following FMs:

LOAD_PRINT_PARAMETERS - User default printer settings

SET_PRINT_PARAMETERS - Sets users print settings for a report

STORE_PRINT_PARAMETERS - Saves users current print settings

Do search on them for full details.

Regards.

Hi,

Ofcourse, its different issue...Can you explain me why you have used the below code

*&--GET THE EXISTING DEFAULT PARAMETERS
CALL FUNCTION 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'
EXPORTING
no_dialog = 'X'
IMPORTING
out_parameters = l_t_params.

I mean you are importing the existing default parameters but you are not modifying the parameters in l_t_params. I hope you are not required above code.
