Not had the problem myself, but it sounds like (maybe!) you are getting the OS Coversheet printed with each job... try looking in SP01 at one of the outputs to that printer, double click on the entry in the list, then click on the "Output attributes" tab where the "SAP Cover page" and "OS Cover Sheet" settings are nominated. These defaults usually come from the printer output device definition in transaction SPAD, but you can override them at run time too.

Yes, cool. I find it, when I print, I can select the option OS Cover Sheet to no, but the default is always "System Administrator: Default Settings" and in SPAD for this printer I have "Do not print host spooler...", how comes! Where I can change the default settings?

thanks again

thanks, that solve my problem, but I think this solution is user-specific, how do we correct the os cover sheet for a specific printer but for all users?

I think we have to change something in the device type, click on format then change cover sheet?

thx

I followed a@s's link and dug a little more... the saved settings for users are being held in index table TPRI_DEF, and this leads you to a couple of utilities that might be handy for you:


RSPRIPARADMIN    Administration Report for Print Parameters for All Users  
RSPRIPARCOPY     Copy user-specific print defaults
