Maintain output device in user master data

Former Member — Tue, 23 Oct 2007 18:18:05 GMT

when we try to print the Purchase order smartform we are getting the

following update terminated error message.

" Please maintain output device in user master data".

1. If we maintain output device in my user profile as any printer name

then we are not getting the update terminated error message.

2. when we select the network printer it is always printing

using the output device maintained in the user profile (example

LOCL). it is not printing using network printer.

when we select the network printer it should overwrite the user profile

output device.

Can we have the network printer selected irrespective of the printer

maintained in the user profile?

Please provide the solution

The network printer has to be set up in SAP using transaction SPAD.

If you mention printer as LOCL the system will use network printer and the printer will be controled by Windows.

If you specify printer name the printer will be controled by SAP.

I hope now you can re-analyze your issue.

We already created network printer using SPAD transaction.

Hi,

Can you test if your SAP system is even triggering any spool for that network printer?

Nishant,

it is not generating any spool for network printer.

Then this is not configured correctly.

I believe this printer has never been used before.

Try re-creating this Output Device since if it's not found or has error then SAP will pick you user default.

Another thing that you can do is remove Printer LOCL from user default and then try for printing through the network printer.
