SAPScript to Local Printer

Former Member — Wed, 24 May 2006 17:02:06 GMT

When we print SAPScript documents to LOCL and send them to the windows default printer through SAPLPD, we see odd output. graphics are backwards, layouts are off...etc...

Can SAP successfully send a SAPSCript document to the local printer and the format is correct?

Thanks

Yeah, we had this with a faulty printer driver installed with windows too. If possible, try to install the newest windows printer driver for your local printer.

But, especially if you have custom-defined font sizes, very often the font metrics are not too good and the print preview will differ from printed output.

Hai

CALL FUNCTION 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'

EXPORTING MODE = 'BATCH'

REPORT = 'MYREPORT'

IMPORTING OUT_PARAMETERS = PARAMS

VALID = VALID.

look into this link

You need to set the USER_SETTINGS perameter in your SmartForm to SPACE

GOOD

AS PER YOUR QUREY SAP CAN SUCCESSFULLY SEND A DOCUMENT TO ANY KIND OF PRINTER BUT YOUR SAP SYSTEM SHOULD BE SUPPORT THAT PRINTER FOR THAT YOU HAVE TO CONFIGURE YOUR SAP SYSTEM AND THAT CAN BE DONE BY THE BASIS CONSULTANT.

Hello Chris,

Yes you can very well print the sapscript on to local printer. The problem is with ur local printer because when the request is fired the SAPLPD gives control to the local windows printer and everything is control through drivers at windows level.
