printer LOCL in background

[Former Member]

Hi guys,

I have a smartform that is being called in background and when we specify the printer to be P123 (specific printer) when we check the spool, the status is green. But when we specify the printer to be LOCL, when we check the spool the status is Error (red). Have you guys experienced this error? is there any way to solve it? will sap be able to read the LOCL printer in background?

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

Please maintain LOCL using the following path:

Click on System->User Profile->Own Data->Parameters(Tab)

Parameter ID = PRI

Value = LOCL

Now run the background job.

hi

good

what i feel there due to the different printer setup for the LOCL and P123 you might be getting the red signal in the spool,otherewise i dont think there would be any other prob for this.

Thanks

if you are trying to "print immediately" on LOCL from batch - I don;t think you can do it as usually LOCL means Local printer defined on your computer and printing is done via saplpd... I don't think SAP can print to your local printer from batch.

If you do not have "print immediately" selected - the spool should be created and you'll be able to see spool.
