Hi Abhijit,

Yes, When I give locl printer, I am getting the status as frontend unavailabe. When I give some other printers which is connected to the server I am getting "Waiting for output formatter". Is it because of the format of the script.it is created as LETTER.

WHen I execute the same program in frontend it is going to the printer. But there it is waiting to change the format. After manually changed it is printing successfully.

How should I change the script format at runtime

Hi

The output device is wrong to run the trx in background, you can't use a device of front-end: it can't work in background.

You have to assign another printer, if the system get the printer from user default values, assign the correct printer there.
