So you are populating the Output_Options parameter ?

The printer is a defined SAP printer ?

yes i am passing output options and control parameters

  st_control_parameters-langu   = sy-langu.

*  st_control_parameters-device  = ca_printer.

*  st_control_parameters-preview = ca_x.   "IMPORT PARAMETER

  st_control_parameters-preview = space.

*  st_control_parameters-no_dialog = ca_x.



*   Fill the output options

  st_output_options-tdsuffix1 = ca_r15a.

  st_output_options-tdsuffix2 = sy-uname.

  st_output_options-tdnewid = ca_x.

  st_output_options-tdfinal = ca_x.

  st_output_options-tdimmed = ca_x.

  st_output_options-tddelete = ''.


  st_output_options-tddest   = vl_dest.

even though I pass tddest as the printer name its defaulting the printer name from master data. that is my issue where as it should be display the printer name passed to TDDEST . yes its an sap printer I can see that printer name.

Is the smartform a standard smartform or a custom smartform ?

Run an ST05 trace in another session and then run your program to see where it is accessing the user data. Use the trace to check where it is in the code and see if there are any conditions around it.

Passing printer name to TDDEST is correct. Make sure that you are passing the correct 4 characters output device name and to parameter OUTPUT_OPTIONS.
