SAP Printing

[Former Member]

Hi,

Here is a printing problem in ECC5.0. The sap user can print on their default printer immediately only when they log on into the system and call the system transaction. But when the user is coming from off the system, say, an interface that calls an RFC in SAP, the printing part in the RFC cannot work. In 'own spool requests' , the status of the specific quest is 'Waiting', though it is set 'Output Immediately' in User profile. Is there anything I can do to fix it right?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Daniel,

It is possible that user profile is only used in dialog mode. If it is like that you need to provide full information about the printer inside your RFC in case of remote call. I wish it moved you into good direction.

Thanks for the response.

Yes, the user profile is only valid when in dialog mode, but when it is from remote call, is there any possible way to get the print immediately? Or maybe print without the SAPLPD will help? I'm not sure.

Hi,

It should work if you provide explicitly provide printer name.

Is the printer defined as an "actual" printer, not like a "local" printer (ie windowd)?

Look at <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/d9/4a990d51ea11d189570000e829fbbd/frameset.htm">Functional Area 3: Output and Status Querying</a> in Sap library.
