Printer name "ARCH" not defined - Archive printer

Hi,
We are trying to archive some FI objects and store it in the documentum.We have defined the ARCH printer as per SAP guidelines (Device type ARCHLINK, Access method- Archiving Device). While selecting the printer in transaction SARA for the archiving it was giving error message 'Printer name "ARCH" not defined'. The information on the error message is given below. But the printer is already exists in table TSP03. Checked note 639149 authorizations are in place and the printer is already added in content repository thru OAC0. Also note 739828 referred and the prerequisites required are in place. We use ECC 6.0 NW 7.01 release.
Please provide some inputs, all inputs to solve this issue is welcome.
Printer name "ARCH" not defined
Message no. PT001
Diagnosis
Table TSP03 contains all valid printer names. The printer name specified here does not exist in the table.
Procedure
Enter a valid printer name from table TSP03. You can define new printers using the spool administration function.
Thanks in advance.
rgds,
Shyl

When we use any other printer which is not defined as Access method -I Archiving device then we are able to select the printer and continue
Thats the way it should be
But the intention here is to use the Archiving program (in Device class of SPAD) and continue with Archiving the print lists. So for that we have to make the printer working for Archiving mode
The spool parameters are for the background job, you cannot use Method I for it, you already set the output method in OAC0 for the print lists.
Also regarding the selection of 'Send to SAP spool' and 'Print Immediately'' we will be able to select this in the 'Properties' but the error message appears before that and no further selection possible.
As I mentioned before you need to use a common printer for the background job spool.
Regards
Juan

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One Printer - N911g can not define a custom size paper.

    HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One Printer - N911g can not define a custom size paper.  I would like to have a custom size to work with a card making program.

    Can you help me out?
    I have an HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911a
    When I try to print to a custom print size (2.75" x 6" in my case), I get the same error everyone else is reporting: "Paper detected does not match paper size or type selected. Make sure the paper size or type is correct to continue the job."
    I am currently trying to print using Microsoft Word for Mac 2011 version 14.4.5, but I have the same problem with printing from Adobe Reader 9.8.5 or Preview 8.0.
    I am running OS X Yosemite 10.10.
    My printer's firmware is "up to date" as of 28-Aug-2014.
    This is what I did:
    1. Open System Preferences from the Apple menu.
    2. Click on the Printers & Scanners icon.
    3. Click on the + sign under the list of printers to add a printer
    4. Click on IP
    5. Enter my IP address in the Address field (verified as "valid and complete host name or address")
    6. Ignore Protocol field (default is Line Printer Daemon - LPD)
    7. Ignore Queue field (default is blank for default queue)
    8. Ignore Name field (default is IP address)
    9. Ignore Location field (default is blank)
    10. Under the Use dropdown menu, I select "Select Software"
    11. HP Deskjet 9800 is not an option.
    I searched for 9800, but there is no HP printer with that number in the options.
    I tried selecting "HP DeskJet 980C - Gutenprint v5.2.3" to see if that would work, but I received the same error message as above. I tried selecting other random HP printers, but so far I've had no luck.
    I've been googling about for a way to manually add a printer driver to this "Select Software" list, but I've found nothing (apparently, no one else wants to do this). I did not find a driver download for the HP DeskJet 9800 for OS X Yosemite 10.10 on the Drivers & Software section of the hp.com website.
    Additional details on settings for Microsoft Word for Mac 2011 version 14.4.5:
    Selected File > Page Setup from menu
    Under the Paper Size drop down menu, I selected manage custom size.
    - Click + to add a paper size
    - Enter "2.75" in width and "6 in" height in the paper size fields.
    - Enter "0 in" as the User Defined Non-Printable Area for top, left, right and bottom.
    - Double-clicked Untiled in the custom size list and rename the size as Receipt
    - Click OK to return to the Page Setup dialog box
    Under Settings: Page Attributes:
    - Format for "HP Officejet Pro 8600"
    - Paper size: Receipt
    - Orientation: "tall/portrait"
    - Scale: 100%
    - Click OK
    Select Format > Document and set all page margins to 0.25"
    Thank you. 

  • ReportSDKPrinterException: Printer name could not be set

    I am working on testing a web application with BOE XI V 3.1.  I have the database and RAS machines setup.  I have been working on changing my app to printing through the RAS.  I have print preview and export working, but am running into issues printing to a printer.
    On the RAS which is on a virtual machine, I have a printer setup as a local printer to a tcpip port so the VM can access a printer on our network.  But when I call the clientDoc.getPrintOutputController().printReport(printOptions); I get the error message ReportSDKPrinterException: Printer name could not be set.
    I have also on the side been testing using a small jsp modified from a working print preview.

  • Entry 0 is not defined as printing character - 8A651

    Hi. We're implementing Electronic Invoice WS SAP standard solution. At the moment all customizing has done. When we create a billing the VF01 transaction ends right. But when we call transaction VF02 it tell us that the invoice # doesn't exist, and send us an e-mail whit "Entry 0 is not defined as printing character" error # 8A651.
    Somebody know some solution to this problem ?
    Thanks

    Hi Santore,
    You may want to take a look at [SAP Note 528639|https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=528639] regarding this issue.
    I am guessing you are performing printing for a Company Code not belonging to Argentina Company Code, which may be causing this problem as your customizing is Argentinian specific.
    You could however alternatively try to print it using tcode IDCP.
    Hope the above helps.
    Thanks.

  • Epson r800 prints, but does not appear in Printer List: can't use Utilities

    My Epson r800 prints, but does not appear in Printer List. It is connected via USB to the iMac. A Brother LH-2070N is connected via AirPort Extreme. I need to use Utilities to clean the head of cartridge, check levels, etc.. Is there a way to fix this problem?
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    For your Epson try this:
    Hard Drive, Library, Printers (folder), Epson folder,
    Inkjetprinter folder, Utilities folder and here you
    will find Epson Printer Utility2. Click on it and it
    should work.
    Note. Epson utilities will not work unless the
    Printer is directly connected to the computer.
    Had the same issue with my 2200 photo and the above
    worked.
    Tried again after reinstalling the drivers. There is no separate Inkjet Folder, but the Printer Utility is within the Epson folder. Unfortunately, the r800 still does not appear in the Printer List, hence no utility.

  • Printer Preferences is not available when printing PDF

    Printer Preferences is not available when printing PDF
    I have a PSC 1315 printer I have been using for several years on a system with Windows XP without any problem.  After
    purchasing an HP Pavilion 500 with Windows 8.1 Pro, I migrated my printer to the new computer.  I was disallowed to use the
    original driver, and was directed to download the latest driver and software for this printer from an HP website.  At
    first, things seemed ok, until I ran across several issues, one of which is this one.
    Whenever I try printing a PDF file, Windows 8 does not let me see printer preferences.  My work around is to go into
    printer properties and save changes as default, then I can print PDF files.  What happened to the preferences window?  It
    appears I have lost functionality with the upgrade.
    Is this a known problem, and what's the solution?

  • It has been not more than 10 days since i bought iphone 5s 32gb and the finger print scanner is not detecting the prints.what to do??is it an issue with the device or iOS??

    It has been not more than 10 days since i bought iphone 5s 32gb and the finger print scanner is not detecting the prints.what to do??is it an issue with the device or iOS??

    Standard practices:
    Restart the device (power off completely, then back on) - retest.
    Reset (hold sleep wake and home buttons until apple logo appears) - you can try this, but it is most useful when your device is frozen.
    Restore to factory settings - retest.
    Make an appointment at an Apple retail store genius bar if the above did not resolve the issue.
    HTH.

  • Printer installed but not responding to print jobs

    I'm not quite sure how to intelligently ask this question so let me describe what happened.
    I have a friend who asked for help in troubleshooting a problem with his printer.  His printer is a brand new HP Officejet 6600 sitting near his computer and is on his wifi network.  He can not print to it wirelessly from his iMac running Lion, but his wife can print wirelessly to it from another room on her iMac.  He can print using USB, though, but he prefers wireless because of the wiring situation in this room.  Plus, he bought for wireless printing.
    When I got there I checked his System Preferences:Print & Fax and confirmed that his printer was installed and had the green idle light showing ready for a print job.  I tried to print and everything looked normal and showed that the job was sent to the printer and was 100% completed but the printer never responded.  I tried it from his wife's computer and confirmed that she was able to print a page with no problem.  I brought my MBP and joined his wifi network and added his printer and was also able to print.
    So, I tried some basic troubleshooting steps trying to print after each one, and nothing worked.  I deleted and re-installed his printer, repaired permissions, restarted in Safe Boot, tried printing in a second user account, Reset printing system..., deleted all com.apple.print... preferences,  installed Onyx and ran the System Cleaning routines,  powered down/up the router/computer/printer, reset the wifi on the printer and rejoined his network, and probably a few other things I can't remember right now.
    After doing all of this and throwing up my hands I tried to print again from my MBP to prove that I still could, and this time was not able to print.  It kept trying to send the job but the printer never responded.  His wife's iMac was still able to print, however.  This got me frustrated and I decided to ask this forum for help.
    Oh, and here's some more information.  His wife has a printer next to her computer, an HP Officejet something (I forget, not 6600, though).  His iMac is able to print over wifi to this printer with no problem.  What the...?
    What other things can I try? Does this point to something in the printer such as a bad wifi card, or something?  Any suggestions or ideas will be much appreciated.
    Thanks

    LilyLC, hold on to your chair you will not believe what happened today.  Bear with me while I give you all the details but you will want to read the entire story.
    First, to answer your question in the first paragraph of that last post, his wife's printer is connected to his wifi and is using the driver installed by Apple and has been updated on the same date as his computer that I gave earlier.  She can print to her printer and so can he.  After the troubleshooting steps I have taken and took today I agree with your assessment about an intermittent issue with the printer, too, but let me tell you what I did today.
    Before going to his house I decided to set up a second wifi LAN at his house using my router to check if his Airport Extreme (I incorrectly thought initially it was an Airport Express) router was the problem.  The thinking being that I have checked his printer and computer and nothing I have tried is making a difference, so the only thing left is his router.  So, I set up my router and joined his computer, printer, and my MBP, to the wifi and tried to print from both computers.  The printer still was NOT working!  That was a big disappointment since I just knew that was going to work.  I guess that eliminates the router.  I reconfigured his computer back to his wifi and proceeded to the next step.
    I hadn't installed the drivers from the website you gave me earlier since I saw in Software Updates that he had updated to that same driver set already.  Now I got to thinking that maybe those files were corrupted somehow so I downloaded the drivers from the website you gave me and installed.  Deleted drivers from Print & Scan pane and installed the newly downloaded driver, tried to print, and that failed, too.
    Next I tried your suggestion of using the LPD protocol instead of the HP JetDirect and that setup failed for some reason.  I reconfigured using the HP JetDirect, and that worked for printing, as before, but the scan function was not available, as before.
    I was getting a little pressed for time today and had time to try one more thing, so I decided to forgo the new Location setup until tomorrow and instead chose to plug his printer directly into the Airport Extreme via USB and see what happened.  I deleted the IP driver and clicked the + to add the installed driver and was presented with an HP Officejet 6600 on the top line and lower down under "Nearby Printers" found an HP Officejet 6600 series [XXXXXX] and under that HP Officejet 6600 Fax.
    I chose the first driver and installed and tried to print and was successful.  However, the scan function was not available.  So I deleted that driver and chose the second one.  I noticed immediately that the scan function was available.  Thinking I might have something I tried to print and was unsuccessful.  Mmm...printing works with the first driver but not the second and scan works for the second but not the first.  What's with THAT? 
    This was really getting frustrating by this time and after much discussion with him I told him I thought the printer was the device at fault.  For some reason his printer just did not like his network.  I tried printing to his wife's computer and that worked great.  No problem there.  But for some reason his printer did not like his network and refused to work by setting up manually.
    I recommended that he bring the printer back and exchange it for another printer.  He agreed and immediately boxed it up and left for the store.  I returned home to more friendlier surroundings.
    Here's where it gets interesting, and it helps to know that my friend is in his mid-eighties.  About an hour later he calls and tells me he's sitting in the parking lot of Office Depot.  He tells me that when he was in the store discussing with Customer Service about an exchange it dawned on him out of the blue that he DIDN'T NEED TWO PRINTERS!!  He said that if he could print to his wife's computer today then he could print to it from now on.  I was speechless!!!  I told him I asked him at the beginning of all this why he had to have two printers, and at that time he said "trust me, we need two printers".  Ok.  He tells me he has no idea why he didn't realize that wifi worked differently than cable.  He thinks that maybe since his older two printers were each connected to his and his wife's computer these newer computers operated the same way too.  But he admits to me that he was the one who set the printers up on his wifi network, so why he didn't realize that only one printer was necessary with wifi he didn't know.  He was embarrassed.  He admitted to me that technology is very difficult for him to understand.  No kidding!!!
    I didn't need to remind him how much time had been spent on this problem because he was quick to apologize and was very sorry for taking up so much of my time, and he really appreciated the effort.  I told him I didn't mind.
    And I really didn't, because I learned so much from this experience by following your suggestions, LilyLC.  I never knew how to set up a printer using its IP address, and the protocols to use, and I never knew how to add new Locations in the Network pane and why it might be useful.  You also got me to considering other troubleshooting ideas I wouldn't have thought of otherwise.  So maybe my friend and I aren't that different after all.
    I really appreciate all the suggestions, links, and ideas you offered during this effort, LilyLC.  I wish I could have determined the cause of the problem but, not knowing the inner workings of these devices, I can only assume that it had to have been the printer.
    I bet I get a call from my friend a week from now saying that he just bought a second printer for his room because his knees can't take the walking from his room to his wife's room to get all of his printouts.  All I can say is THAT printer better work.
    Thanks again, LilyLC, for all your time and help.  It was really appreciated!

  • Can't print from safari to hp 4620 appears to print but does not first to print from safari notes print no problem any suggestions?

    Can't print from safari to hp 4620 appears to print but does not first time i have attempted to print from safari , notes print fine no problems. It is like on a desktop my print is sitting in the queue there are error messages only the usual print dialogue. I've turned the printer off and back on with no luck any suggestions?

    That's very strange.  See if clearing the cache in Safari will make it work.  I'll include the steps below.  If that doesn't help, install a different browser, such as Opera, to see if that will print from pages that Safari won't.  If it will, then something is wrong with Safari.  If it doesn't print, then the web pages might have printing blocked.  There are sites that are doing that for copyright reasons.  Let me know what you find.
    To clear the cache on Safari:
    Open Settings.
    Select Safari
    Touch Clear Cache.
    Select Clear.
    Touch Clear Cookies.
    Select Clear.
    Touch Clear History.
    Select Clear.

  • Print driver is not shown in "Print Using:" menu

    I have a HP psc 2410 printer that I have connected directly to my Mac, but I want to connect it though my Windows PC which is my home server. The printer works fine when it is connected via the USB cable and the driver listed after "Print Using:" in the add new printer box is called "hp all-in-one 2.2.9". When I try to add the same printer via the Windows network I see it the printer, but when I try to find the driver in the "Print Using:" menu, I don't find it. How can it be there for the USB connection, but not for the network connection? Where do I find it, if it isn't in that driver list?
    Thank you!

    Print drivers written using the older Mac printer driver model specifically list the type of connections they support. Most of these old style drivers do not support Windows printing. I think that is what you are seeing.

  • When printing Firefox does not open the Print Dialog window

    When printing at our office we often need to print to multiple printers and not just the default printer. When printing in Firefox, however, the print automatically gets sent to the default printer and I do not get a print dialog window. I have reset Firefox's printer options, changed the prefs.js file, and launched Firefox from safe mode to check if an add-on is affecting printing - all to no avail. When I print from Chrome, or (shudder) Internet Explorer I get a dialog box giving me printer options. Your help and responses will be appreciated.

    There is a hidden preference to bypass the dialog, but it definitely is not set by default. To check for that:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''print.''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) If you discover a preference named '''print.always_print_silent''' there's your trouble.
    Next question would be, where did it come from?! Some possibilities:
    (A) A user.js file that overrides prefs.js at startup. See: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
    (B) A lock file in the program folder. See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
