Printer configurations

[Former Member]

Hi,

When i print a document with WORD, WORD extract printer parameters form printer control panel of my Windows XP. Concretely Word catches number of copies (3) and the interleaved (checkbox is on) of the printer control panel of my Windows XP.

When i print a form, SAP creates a SPOOL order and print BUT SAP don't catches parameters from printer control panel of my windows xp. Why?

I want that SAP read my default print parameters form my system.

A lot of thanks in advance.

When i print on SAP i use "LOCL" (LOCAL) on output device and "HP Laserjet 2300 series PLC 6" on Frontend printer.

And i dont have "HP Laserjet 2300 series PLC 6" on Ouput devices in SPAD.
