Printing documents - document management

Hi,
I have created a word document (stored in document management) and linked to customer master and material master.
Our requirement is this word document needs to be printed when a user prints Bill of Lading document from delivery note. How to print a document (stored in the document management) that was linked to a customer or material master. In the customer master or in the material master or in CV02N, I tried to print the document but it is not printing. It just opens in a word document.
Your help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Shiva.

Hi Christoph Hopf,
Thank you very much for your response. I have already maintained an entry for print (type 3) in DC30 and assigned path and program name as C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\WINWORD.exe %f
Per your suggestions, I checked Tools -> folder options -> File types -> DOC -> Advanced and I could find an entry for "Print".
When I try to print the document from CV02N using print button, the application is opening in a word document, but it is not printing. I checked my system and a defualt printer is set-up. Should I need to tell in SAP configuration as LOCL printer?
Also my requirement is when I print BILL OF LADING documents from deliveries, the documents associated with material object, customer object and customer material objects pertaining to the delivery need to be printed.
Can I use the STAT output condition type to acheieve this? I could see messages in the CV02N, but it is not highlighted. I maintained STAT records (mail output) but still the messages is not highlighted in CV02N.
I appreciate your help.
With regards,
Shiva

Hi Chris,
This component must be deployed in Portal because have a lot of services which need ESS in order to work properly. According with note 1408243 you must add those business components in your iView and only are available in that component. Once you deploy this component you do not need to assign any special role to users. The business object component is in Content Administration --> Portal Content --> Business Object --> ERP Common Parts --> Human Resources --> Employee.

Print Draft Document using Crystal Report in SAP 8.8

I created a Crystal Report Layout using SQL View as data source for AR Invoice which prints out fine. (everthing on 1 page)
To print Draft Invoice, I copied the view to use ODRF/RDF1 instead of OINV/INV1, copied the Crystal report and updated the data source to the new view. When print Draft Invoice, it prints 3 pages - page 1 blank, page 2 just the "DRAFT" watermark, page 3 the crystal report without watermark.
Steps to print Draft Invoice: Sales-A/R > Sales Report > Document Drafts Report > Open selected Draft Invoice document > File > Select Layout and Print...
What is happening behind the scene when printing Draft documents? What is the correct way to print Drafts (e.g. special settings designing Crystal Reports)?
Thanks,
Grace

Thank you for your reply. It works in this specific report.
But we have both PLD and Crystal Report in the system, changing the settings means the PLD will lose their watermark...
Also, I don't know how the Draft is displayed, but when select Print Preview for Draft, it's asking for parameter (DocEntry), which I have setup a DocKey@ in Crystal Report and set it in the Selection Manager. Does SAP provide DocEntry in Draft Invoice (ODRF) the same way as in Invoice (OINV)?
Thanks,
Grace

Can't print large documents.

For years, we've been printing large documents to our plotter without issue. Suddenly last week, nothing large will print.
I've seen a few different error messages, and have tried different computers, and different versions of Illustrator, but nothing large will print.
When trying to print, I currently get the following:
I've also seen an error suggesting not enough memory is available, which is bogus. And I think another error that was more vague, something to the effect of "can't print"
I've setup a clean install of illustrator on a clean windows install, same issue.
I setup an alternate print server with our rip software, same software we've been using for years. Same error on the alternate server.
Nothing changed, and it's effecting everything here, and new installs. I don't know what happened, but this is getting critical, we need the ability to print.

EFI eXpress v. 4.1
This all worked fine until a week ago, so I don't think there should be a hardware software compatibility issue. The software and hardware were all working fine, and then we got blindsided by this stubborn error that came out of nowhere, won't go away, and has no error or log that gives us any useful information.
It isn't a font issue. I've created a basic test document that just consists of the word test. Using this same font, I've had success printing documents that are 37"x79", 39"x75". But, when I print 39"x79", it fails. i've not zeroed in on the size that seems to be the cutoff, but I knew that a 37x75 worked, and 40x80 didn't, and 39x79 didn't either. So, playing around with the numbers I found the above that did work.
Also, using the general epson driver that you can get on epson's site, any print job can be sent without issue. It's just that anything beyond 90 inches gets cut off.
I suppose this suggests the problem lies with EFI. But, a clean install of EFI didn't resolve the issue. What it comes down to for me is, the error is generated from Adobe. So, at the least, I'd like an explanation from Adobe as to what the error is, since their software is generating it, and giving me no reason why it failed. Plus, there's no way I can justify to management the cost of bringing in a 3rd party support for the EFI software, unless I have a better reason why the EFI software worked last week, but not this week, so I really need better data out of Adobe as to why it fails.
I currently have a paid case open with Adobe, but they seem to be having difficulty as well, so far it's been a lot of time on hold, and a little bit of "try this, try that, try this", which is getting nowhere. I need something more methodical to happen, and some actual following of data, or checking of logs, to get some detailed information, hopefully the case will get escalated to someone with a bit more in depth knowledge on these things.
I will keep posting the details here as they emerge, because there's nothing I hate more than a forum thread with a problem I'm experiencing, that doesn't end with an answer. I think forums should do a better job of either posting a resolution, or purging the cases that don't resolve, to get rid of the useless junk that clogs the internet and wastes people's time searching for answers.

How to have Windows Print prompt pop up when printing SBO documents

Version 8.8 SP00 PL14
I have SBO Print Preferences for Sales Order and AR Invoice set to NOT Print on Add.
I have PLD layouts with defined printers assigned to users.
I want the user to be able to change the defined printer when printing a document.
I don't want the user to have to select a different PLD layout.
When the user prints a document SBO is sending the document straight to the defined printer without popping the Windows Print screen that would allow the defaulting printer to be changed.
Is there any way to make the Windows Print screen pop up?

Hi Tony,
I noticed too that when you now click on 'Print', the windows print window no longer comes up.
Did you set the PLD template default by user and indicate in Print Layout Manager the correct printer for that layout? (i.e. looks like you need a layout for each printer if the printer is different by user unless the printer to be used is the user's default printer.)

Why does my Acrobat Pro 9 PDF print driver either lock up or become confused as to where it should store a file when printing a document from within the Firefox browser?

I use Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.4.5 for creating .pdf files on a Windows XP SP3 platform. Firefox 6.0.2 is my browser of choice. This question only applies to the .pdf printing process. All other printer drivers work fine with this version of Firefox.
In attempt to save paper, I choose to print most documents in an electronic .pdf format using the PDF print driver and save them to my USB drive. Before upgrading my Firefox version to 6.0.2 this process seemed to work fine but after upgrading the .pdf print process seems to be experiencing problems. This particular printing process will cause Firefox to lock up when the distiller tries to print the file to what I believe is a temporary folder under the Adobe folder. When it does this I am sometimes able to force it to complete the process but frequently it will only produce a log not a .pdf file. On other occasions the distiller will just lock up mid print without producing any kind of error message. In both cases I will frequently have to use Windows Task Manager to break out of the process which then shuts down the Firefox browser. I don't seem to have any problems when I use Internet Explorer to perform the same function. As far as I am aware I am running the most current drivers as Adobe automatically pushes down updates to me as they become available. Any ideas how I can overcome this issue or is it inherent to the new version of Firefox?

The PDF file itself does not control the "print as image" preference, which should always be turned OFF unless there's a specific need to rasterize the entire page, and is turned off by default in all Acrobat and Adobe Reader installations.
What's the filetype for the ultralight font and what export setting* are you using in ID? If you're exporting to earlier than PDF1.7, OpenType fonts will be converted and may experience some small changes in shape if their hint definitions aren't done right.
*As a side note, bear in mind that InDesign does not use any part of Acrobat when exporting PDFs, so questions specific to that stage in the process should be posted to the InDesign forums.

Acrobat Pro XI Will Not Print Word Document with a Rotated Table

I have a MS Word document that is mostly text, but include a table that has been rotated in a text box to fit on the page. When I try to print to PDF using Acrobat Pro XI, the document crashes at the page the table is on.
I have tried several attempts to print using the Acrobat Printer, convert to PDF feature and trying to print just the page alone. Acrobat will simply not print word document with a rotated table.
Any idea how to fix this?
Word 2013, Windows 7, Acrobat Pro XI 11.0.06

In the full document, the print to PDF goes only as far as the table, then ends - not printing the table. The remaining pages are not printed.
For example, I have trimmed the file down to just the table page, and included links to it, and a copy of the PDF it generated.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/60543835/Forums/Table%20Sample_140903.pdf
The error message I now get when I try to print is: "There is not enough memory or disk space to repaginate or print this document."
However, with the Task manager open, the memory never seems to get above half of the available (the graph bar fluctuates a little, but stays stable")
The page prints to a regular HP or Xerox printer with no problems.

Print out documents attached to a work order before Releasing a work order

Team
Requirement is given below. Need some advice.
How to print out documents attached to a PM work order before the order is set to released status?
Further the same documents have to be printed again after the order is released.
Regards
Sunil

I think there is an OSS Note on this one - have a look there.
There is a work-around where you do the following:
- Enter IW32 and RELEASE the the order (but do not save)
- Print out whatever you require
- Exit the order without saving (therefore the RELEASE is not saved)
Note: for one client we put a PRINT button on the Enhancement tab (user-exit IWO10018) for this purpose.
Prometheus Group also provide a solution called Print Manager

Problem printing Report Document Draft

Dear support,
our customer has problem printing its Document Draft Report, because
the "DRAFT DOCUMENT" string on the background of the page is too large.
The printer can manage this dimension and prints an empty second page
(also when the document has more pages).
See attached file.
If we disable the "Print Draft Watermark on Draft Document" flag in the
Print Preferences, the customer hasn't the problem printing the draft
document.
The customer need to distinguish the print of draft document.
Is it possible in the report designer to know if a document is a Draft or
a Definitive one?
If we can understand the type of the document, we could add a text box
"DRAFT DOCUMENT" in the report and disable the "Print Draft Watermark on
Draft Document" flag.
Can someone help us, please?
Regards,
Emanuele

hi Emanuele Croci,
For example paper format which default as Letter,but in PLD
if y'r paper format is A4 then definitely it will be printed more than 1 page.
Go to File --> Page Set Up --> Change paper format as in PLD.
Also reduce the font by 1 point.
If problem not get solved,You can print Water mark as DRAFT from printer properties.
Start --> Printer and Faxes > Select Printer you want to print,Right Click it>Select Properties>Select Printing Preferences>Select Effects Tab> Select Water mark option as Draft>Click Apply.
Test print it let me know.
Hope above solution will solve problem.

Can't print: "Before you can perform print-related tasks such as page setup or printing a document,

Hello,
I have searched these forums but have not found a solution to my problem.
I recently purchased an IOGear USB Print Server (print server only, not USB device server). I was having issues installing and followed a Microsoft support document to try and resolve the issue. It had me remove some entries from the registry.
Hours later, I was able to get the printer installed and working, but I do not know if it was a result of the registry tweak. But now that it has been installed, I cannot get anything to print from Acrobat Reader (I have tried 7.0 and 8.1.1). I get the following error message:
"Before you can perform print-related tasks such as page setup or printing a document, you need to install a printer."
Is there something I should check in the registry to make sure that it will work? I do know for sure that it was working when it was just the printer and drivers installed, it only happened after running the print server setup. I have already tried removing the printers and drivers from the system.
Thanks,
Braden

I have a problem similar to those posted here, with one difference. With my printers newly installed, regardless of which one is selected as the default, when I try to print from Adobe Reader I receive the error message we're talking about : "Before you can perform a print related task...."
Here's the fun part.
If I click OK on the message, ALL MY PRINTERS GET DELETED and, I get the windows message that "Spooler subsystem app has encountered a problem and needs to close"! If instead of clicking OK I switch to Task Manager and end Adobe, I'm fine and can print from other programs.
I can "reset" the problem by deleting the files in C:\Windows\System32\Spool\Printers and C:\Windows\System32\Spool\Drivers\w32x86, restarting the machine, and deleting then reinstalling the printers (which show up again after the restart).
BUT, if I try to print from Adobe Reader again, I get the same cycle of problems.
I am running Windows Vista and Adobe Reader 8.1

Can't print large document in landscape orientation

I have a large document (16x32") that I am trying to print on a single legal sized page.
I have landscape mode selected in Page Setup, yet when I select Print and tell it to print to a single Legal page (under Paper Handling I select Scale To Fit Paper Size and then select US Legal), it ends up printing in portrait orientation--even though the preview in the Print dialog box has it in landscape.
I have printed this document before (a month or two ago) and it worked fine. There have been I think 2 updates in the intervening weeks, has one of the updates changed something about printing?
Is there anything I can do to fix this?
Details: Pages 5.1, OS X Mavericks 10.9.1, MacBook Pro (late 2008)

OK, guys, try this:
Open Pages.
Creat a new file. --I picked the template "Blank" (which starts in portrait mode, mind you) in the "Basic" group.
Go to File->Page Setup.
Select Paper Size->Manage Custom Sizes.
Click the "+" and create a new custom paper size. Title it "Really Big Paper" or whatever.
Make the paper size 34 wide by 56 high. (Again, portrait orientation). Click “OK”.
Make the paper landscape orientation and click “OK”.
Put something in the file—like a big light gray box (make its Opacity <50% so you don’t waste ink) that fills up the whole page.
Select File->Print
Click the popup menu that says “Layout” and select “Paper Handling”
Click the box for “Scale to fit paper size” and select “US Legal” as the Destination Paper Size.
Click the “Print” button.
What do you get? I get a gray box horizontally across the middle third of a portrait oriented page. What I want is a page almost entirely filled with gray, which is what would happen if it really printed in landscape mode.
You can fool around with the custom paper size and start with it shorter on width or shorter on height, but if you want to print a document that is large and is wider than it is tall, when you print it on a single page, it will always print **across the middle of a portrait oriented page** and not in landscape mode.
I can repeat this on both my HP and Canon printers. Same result. So it isn’t the print driver, unless you think HP and Canon have the same bug in their print drivers (fairly unlikely, I would guess). You can print to PDF and you get the same result, too.
Again: printing worked fine for me a few weeks (and one or two Pages updates) ago!

I can only print one document LJ200 M276 and Dell Latitude e5430

I am using a HP Laser Jet 200 M276 All-in-One printer with my Dell latitude E5430 The problem is when I print a document the printer will work normally but if I try to print a second document it will not work at all. When I bring up the printer Queue it shows that the printer is still in the process of completing the first document (which has already been printed) and the second document is in the Queue waiting for the first to be completed. The only way to proceed with the printing is use task manager to close the application, shut down and reboot. Then again it only prints one document. I have installed the latest driver and updates and unplugged & replugged the printer and rebooted the computer.

The driver should be part of OS X, not something you download.
This link shows supported HP printers (6800 but no 6840).
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669#HP
I suggest you delete the printer, turn it off, restart your system, and turn the printer on and add it back in.

Printing purchasing documents.

Hi,
how can I configure the system for printing purchasing documents,
what are the trx for configuring the system?
Best regards

Hi, for each purchase document you have one transaction.
You have to go to transaction SPRO -> Materials Management -> Purchasing -> Messages -> Output Control -> Message Types -> in this section you select what purchasing document you want.
You select output type with double click, on default values you put dispatch time with type 3 or 4, and transmissium medium.
If you want to change programa and form you double click on Processing routines tab.
Then you have to create condition record for this document, you go to Logistics -> Purchasing -> Master Data -> Messages -> in this section you select document that you want.
In this transaction you create by output type, condition record for each document type, etc...
I hope that this information help you
