table USR01, the field is SPLD.

This will give you the device short name, if you want the long name, you will then have to go to TSP03L. Here you can use the short name to get the long name.

You could also use the conversion routine function module to convert from the short name to the long name.

CONVERSION_EXIT_SPDEV_OUTPUT

also check FM

FTR_CORR_CHECK_DEFAULT_PRINTER

Hi,

The table in USR01 and the output device field is SPLD.

Also if you go system tab on the top of the screen and then goto user profile~~>own data~~->defaults--->outputdevice to get the name of the printer attached to the user.

hope it was useful.

Thanks,

Sandeep.

Hi,

select SPLD from USR01

into l_device where BNAME EQ sy-uname.

l_device will have the internal short name of default printer which u can configure through SU3 transaction(defaults tab)

if u want to get the original printer name use

CONVERSION_EXIT_SPDEV_OUTPUT pass l_device here u will get full printer name.
