printer configuration issue

[#1]

Hi,

      I have a printer HP laserjet M1212nf MFP which has ip address.

I need to configure this printer  to SAP.
When i checked in SAP devices this printer is not availble.  What is the procedure to configure this printer to SAP?

HI,

• I noticed that HPLJCM1 is not there in SAP by default.
• the HPLJCM1 supports various MFP model Printers.
• first try with HPLJM1 if you are unable to print then you have to install the device type HPLJCM1.
• HPLJCM1 files attached to Note 1135055 - Printer Vendor Wizard Note: HP.

Please let me know the status.

Thanks

As Mentioned comments from Nick,

Here My sap is on linux, so I need to install printer drivers on the Linux System?

[Former Member]

Yes . If you have  any windows system, you can use that system as  a print server  which is easy as well as safer one.

[Former Member]

You mean  sap is installed on windows server?  

[Former Member]

No. SAP can be in any of your preferred OS or your current OS.

I mean the Printer to be configured in a  windows server which will act as a Print server.

Please check with your network admin. They will help you out.

Hi,

As per your query, you should contact to your network team or any vendor who can provide support to install print server in any desktop. When your print server is ready then you can configure this in SAP.

For configuring the printer as a network printer need to configure print server in desktop?

" I have already configured the printer in desktop and i am able to print from that desktop."

I need to configure a network printer ,so that i can print from sap itself.

Please advice...

[Former Member]

In your case, add the network printer as a printer in your desktop and try to take a print from SAP.

I had a similiar scenario.. I connected the printer from the network to the local printer , and configured the sap system

I tried to take a printout and it worked.

As well as please make sure that saplpd program is running in the print server.If not, it will not work.

I am able to print from sap which asks the device type. 

Please clarify, are you able to print it as background job or print from sap which asks to choose device type and then it will print.?

[Former Member]

Hi,

    If printer name is set in SU01 for the user, it will be printed by default.

If not, we need to select the printer manually.

If the print should be done in background, you can request ABAPER to modify the Z* report accordingly.

Thanks and Regards,
