Hi Experts,
We have one requirement where MII need to send print command directly to the printer in order to print from MII.
we already have the ADS server configured on the SAP NetWeaver but we want to understand how we can configure/setup/install printer on SAP MII.
As per configuration object on ADS action block there is checkbox ( print to printer ) as below:
so can anyone please help us understand how the list of printer will come into this dropdown.
We have gone through the blogs and also question raised on the same but it tells us about the ADS server configuration not about the printer configuration and setup.
Quick response is appreciated.
Regards,
Ankit Gupta
Request clarification before answering.
Hi Ankit,
We recently went through this process, albeit our MII instance is installed on a Unix box.
The "Print to Printer" dropdown box options are defined by what printers are installed on the box that MII is installed on. For example we create the printer queues in CUPS on the server, and after 2-3 minutes they appear as an option in the Print to Printer option.
See example below I added to our DEV box as a test:
If you cannot see the options within the dropdown I think it would suggest that your MII instance cannot see the locally installed printers. There are a number of paragraphs on these types of issues within the documents Steve sent.
Thanks
Ben

Hi Ben ,
After configuring the printer to the MII server OS Level , we are able to see the printer listed in the ADS print action block.
While sending the print test page is also working from the OS Level, its showing into the print queue and physical print is coming form the printer.
But when we are giving the same print command from the ADS print action block, command is reaching to the print queue and its showing printing but physical print is not happening at the printer side.
Any idea on this?

Hi Ankit,
Apologies for the slow reply, we actually had a similar issue when first setting ours up. What type of printers are you setting up?
For me, it was a combination of getting the right Print Integration settings on the document
and then also ensuring the print queue had the correct driver defined on it. For example in CUPS we had to manually upload our particular Lexmark print driver to use on the queue rather than using the recommended Local Raw Printer defined in the documentation.
