Network Printer Configuration

[nanda_kumar21]

Hi everyone,

We have printer model Xerox WorkCentre 7228 and i have to configure it as network printer.

I have the name of the printer and its IP address.

I have 2 questions?

1. We have SAP installed over HP-UX, so do i have to install unix driver for that network printer?

2. The printer model Xerox WorkCentre 7228 is not listed in the Device types in SPAD,

I checked the manufactiurer's website and they are providing device types for SAP R/3.

How do i proceed, i mean download the device types, and then how to make that info available in SAP?

Please help.

Thanks

Nanda

See SAP Note 1103826 - Printer is missing in the Device Type Selection Wizard and SAP Note 1036961 - Device type selection wizard in transaction SPAD.

You could use frontend printing if you have no native support for the printer or device type. Since you do and this is a network printer I would use access method 'U' with the destination host being the actual printer hostname/ip address. Apply the new device type as per notes.
