SAP GUI 7.20 printing - unreadble symbols

Hello,
Recently we have uninstalled SAP GUI 7.10 and installed SAP GUI 7.20.
Now we have a problem with printing from the new SAPGUI. We get unreadable symbols from the workstation with Russian localization.
Earlier in SAPGUI 7.10 we resolved this problem simply by setting valid FontName  and Character Set in Font Substituion Opton in SAPLPD.
But now SAPLPD uninstalled together with SAPGUI 7.10.
How can we resolve the same problem in SAPGUI 7.20?

Hello Igor,
SAPLPD is not the recommended print engine for SAP printing anymore.
Refer to the note 821519 for front-end printing

  • Configurations done at SAP gui level to print in duplex mode

    Hi Gurus,
    We had a requirement to convert a printer to duplex mode, we changed all the settings at SAP level( kept duplex mode in printing mode and changed device type to SWAN (as post and pre2 device types are not available) ). But still we are not able to get the desired duplex mode.
    Is there are any further settings or something done in server?
    Is there any settings done at SAP gui to get the print as duplex from a report?
    Thanks in advance....

  • SAP GUI 7.20 Printing Issues

    Good afternoon,
    We have been upgrading all of our users to the 7.20 GUI and have recently come across an issue that we would like some guidance on.
    Using Transactions CC03/CC02 for example, the user is trying to print off a Business Document.  The the new GUI, the user does not have the print icon anymore; however a user with the 7.10 GUI still has the print icon.
    The users are both using Windows 7 64-bit and MS Office 2010.  The only difference between their computers is the GUI.
    We have loaded the "gui720_7-10007878.exe" onto a computer and still acquire the same results.  We have also tried using a 32-bit System with the same results.
    I did find Note 1466621, but I'm not sure if this is the same issue.
    Any assistance/guidance that could be provided would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Kristine

    Hello Kristine
    I tried with 7.10 and as far as I can see, the print icon is greyed out in the toolbar with patch 20.
    What patchlevel had you been using in 7.10 that worked before?
    Can you possibly upload a small screenshot of the issue for clarification please?

  • Unable to Print Purchase order automatically using SAP GUI for JAVA

    Hi SAP gurus,
    Some of the PC's in our company use windows and some LINUX. Therefore we use two types of SAP GUI. One for windows and the other one JAVA. PO approval was set to print automatically. In a windows setting, there are no problems with this setup. But in SAP GUI for JAVA, no print outs are produced and no error messages are displayed. I am using SAP GUI for JAVA version 7.10 ver 6. and I use Front end printing for linux access method G.
    please help,
    gungertz

    hi gungertz,
    You can use U type access method for printing SAP document using linux desktop.
    Please refer to my blog posting here (http://sapbasis.wordpress.com/2007/08/23/print-sap-documents-using-linux/)

  • Problem while printing from SAP GUI for HTML

    Hello,
    We are trying to print a delivery confirmation from the portal using SAP GUI for HTML. We have followed note 771683 to do this. However we are facing the following problems:
    1) The print action(PDF creation) is not triggered until the user performs some action
    2) the PDF that is created is corrupted(does not open)
    In order to correct this we tried to implement note 957292. However, the changes to the object FRONTEND_PRINTPOLL_FRONT_REQUEST.HTM mentioned in this note created problems. So we decided to do the changes to this object manually. But we see that the SAP note doesn't contain any information on changes that should be implemented for this object.
    Question:
    Is the note 957292 only way to solve the printing(PDF) problem? If not, how can we trigger the automatic creation of the PDF and remove the error from the PDF file?
    If yes, any idea what is causing the problem during the note implementation?
    We are on NW2004s - EP7.0 SP10
    ITS 7.0
    Thanks in advance.

  • Print Preview: SAP GUI showing updated text, CRM UI not showing updated text

    Hello,
    can anyone please help me with "Print Preview" button in CRM UI:
    In the CRM UI when a certain data is changed on the document, a note on the document is updated with changes in data. When pressing the "Print Preview" button the generated PDF is not showing an updated text. If i run the SmartForm directly in SAP GUI after the data change, the generated PDF shows an updated text. If i reload the CRM UI (close the browser and run the CRM_UI transaction) the "Print Preview" shows an updated text.
    What should i do, that the Print Preview in the CRM UI would also show an updated text (without reloading the CRM UI) ?
    Im thinking it could be a problem with the parameters SFPDOCPARAMS and SFPOUTPUTPARAMS, that are used when calling the SmartForm FM. The parameters are set as this:
       ls_outputparams-nodialog = 'X'.
       ls_outputparams-getpdf = 'X'.
       ls_outputparams-connection = 'ADS'.
       CALL FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_OPEN'
         CHANGING
           ie_outputparams = ls_outputparams
         EXCEPTIONS
           cancel          = 1
           usage_error     = 2
           system_error    = 3
           internal_error  = 4
           OTHERS          = 5.
       ls_docparams-country = 'SI'.
       ls_docparams-langu = sy-langu.
       CALL FUNCTION lv_name
         EXPORTING
           /1bcdwb/docparams  = ls_docparams
           I_HEADER_GUID      = ls_orderadm_h_wrk-guid
         IMPORTING
           /1bcdwb/formoutput = ls_formoutput
         EXCEPTIONS
           usage_error        = 1
           system_error       = 2
           internal_error     = 3
           OTHERS             = 4.
    SAP gurus, please help

    I figured the solution:
    In the Code Initialization of my interface (SFP transaction) i had to initialize the buffer:
       CALL FUNCTION 'INIT_LOAD_TEXT_BUFFER'
         EXPORTING
           EXCL_ID       = ls_stxh-tdid
           EXCL_LANGUAGE = ls_stxh-tdspras
           EXCL_NAME     = ls_stxh-tdname
           EXCL_OBJECT   = ls_stxh-tdobject
         EXCEPTIONS
           NOT_FOUND     = 1
           OTHERS        = 2.
    This way the text is loaded from the updated note every time a "Print Preview" button is pressed.

  • SAP GUI  refresh printer list

    Hi all,
    We have a very strange problem in SAP GUI...seems that the SAP GUI does not refresh its printer list.
    A new printer was installed, and old one removed, but when you try to print something.. you see the two printer.
    How is that possible?
    It seems SAPGUI does not detect the change, or it writes the printer list somewhere, where it has no write access anymore.
    Computer restarted - nothing!
    Any help will be apreciated
    Thank you!
    Ale

    Hello Alessandra,
    the two Access Methods use completely different technologies, therefore you will see a completely different result with Access Method G.
    When Access Method G is used, the R/3 printer popup will not show the the frontend printers anymore. Where the printers appeared with Access Method F, the place will be simply empty with Access Method G. This means: it will not be possible anymore to select the frontend printer with 'G' in the R/3 popup (which is shown in your screenshot).
    Instead, the frontend printer can be selected with a new popup. After the R/3 printer popup has been confirmed, a new popup will appear. This will be shown by the Windows OS.
    This popup should not show the double printer problem. If the double printer problem appears here too, that means something still has not been uninstalled / deleted from the frontend.
    The reason is that this new popup is handled by the Windows OS. So if this new popup still shows both printers, Windows needs to be checked why is this so.
    Best regards,
    Laszlo

  • PCUI: is print functionality achievable directly as in SAP gui?

    Hello All,
    As happens in SAP GUI, we can directly print a document,
    without taking its preview.
    As per my understanding, in PCUI (BSP application), we always provide PRINT button which always create a preview and then we print it from the preview.
    Is this functionality achievable in PCUI?
    Please get back with your answers.
    Many thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Lata Bhandari

    Hello Lata,
    first: Welcome to SDN.
    Please keep in mind that PC-UI is a Web Application. You have to live with the preview PDF because you normally never know if your system could reach the printer of the user. Through the web you could not use the local printers.
    Regards

  • Printing trademark symbol in HP laserjet printer

    Hi,
    I need to print trademark symbol (TM) from HP laserjet 4250 printer.
    Since the SAP driver/device type does not have the character set containing tm symbol,
    I am getting a # sign in the output.
    I need to configure a custom character set with the symbol and for which I need the hex code of the trademark symbol corresponding to the specific HP laserjet printer.
    I contacted HP global support but they could not tell me the hex code for a tm symbol in their printers.
    Can anyone of you please let me know the code value or guide me where can I get it?

  • SAP GUI 7.10 - What are your experiences?

    Hi All,
    We are considering updating our GUI from 6.20 to 7.10.  Has anyone out there done this?  If so, did you come across any problems i.e. versions of Windows that it does not work on?
    Has anyone used the GUI in a Citrix environment?  If so, was there a greater overhead on the servers?
    Does the GUI have any compatibility issues with older versions of MS Office?
    Any comments will be gratefully received.
    Thanks,
    Dan

    Hi
    There are some points that are defined and you must have read these in the documents:
    a) *SAP web dynpro Active Component Framework (ACF)* - framework to integrate Active Components (ActiveX / Java Applets) into the Web dynpro.
        At the present there are two supported Components:
              Office Integration
              Adobe Integration
    b)  BI pre calculation service for MS Excel u2013 you can install BI frontend as a standalone.
         SAPSprint u2013 server-based printing on Windows (formerly SAPLPD)
         SAP GUI Screen Reader Extension u2013 an interface allows a screen reader to access the SAP GUI object model at runtime and select the required information for speech and Braille output. It is based on SAP GUI Scripting API.
    c) In case GUI was installed from an installation server users have the possibility to enable automatic update from this server.
    d) System tabstrip of SAP Logon pad has a new popup window with tabstrips
    e) New frontend editor u2013  for ABAP programming. Is integrated to ABAP workbench (TA: SE*), SE38, SE37, SE24). Its new user interfaces and is completely customizable. Frontend editor integrates all modern code editing features like: code hints, code completion, .
    f) New debugger u2013 has a high volume of new and known functions that can be called using menus or icons. It requires an additional external session where it runs.
    But there are some problems that we faced:
    a) Sometimes it happens that after installing this gui the Internet Explorer corrupts.
    b) Users faced some initial trouble to add the new systems in SAPGui as it is little bit complex.
    c) Some performance issues when used on low end desktops.
    d) But make sure to make a copy of *.xla file. It may give you problems.
    But strangly when we installed for Citrix we were happy that we were out or any big problems.
    Here are some notes for your reference

  • Report painter report in portal - Excel output in SAP GUI for HTML

    Dear sirs,
    I need your expertize. I would like to let my users display (Excel in place)/ save the result of my report painter reports into MS Excel. I have found notes 499262 a 314568, but didn´t understand the message (or there is no message:)). Does that mean I cannot use Excel in place together with Report painter and SAP GUI for HTML?
    Second question: is there a place (user exit in generated code? I don´t even know what I am looking for) to get the data provided by the report painter engine and send the retrieved data to some custom function (to be able to call the Adobe form, to save it as a text file or any option how to manipulate the resulting data...?).
    thank you for your time and effort,
    regards Otto

    Hi Otto,
    You can send print the report to the spool and then use RSTXPDFT4 program to convert this spool to PDF file. Alternatively, you can export the spool to spreadsheet or ASCII file via SP01 transaction.
    Additinally, I'm not aware of unability to use Excel output with SAP GUI interface.
    Regards,
    Eli

  • Errors with SAP GUI 7.10 issues with IE 7.0? and most curr patches?

    We are attempting to patch our SAP GUI 7.0 with the most recent GUI patches
    GUI patch 12
    BW patch 500
    BI patch 900
    we are applying these patches to correct the following
    >preview and printing of blank pages with web browser(ie 6.0)
    >german lang. toolbar appearing
    >missing active components when using analyzer (BW 3x)
    >BI rspc error 'x dump'
    these issues above have been corrected, however we are now having issues with this GUI and IE 7.0 , printing errors
    As anyone had these same issues above, and could you recommend on what patch combination (if any) have corrected them
    We have worked on this project for the last few months, to get the correct combination of patches that would not break anything else installed.  But, now we are finding that we may have issues with IE 7,0 and the SAP GUI with the above patches.
    Please advise
    Maria

    what happens on the desktops with IE 7.0 is that it looses printing capabilities.

  • How  can i print currency symbol in smart form?

    how  can i print currency symbol in smart form?
    i want to print the currency symbol with grant total based on the vendor currency.
    pls hepl............

    Hi,
    think You can't print the symbols for currency like $ and Pound etc
    see this doc if needed
    A variable in SAPscript is called a symbol. There are the following types.
    • System symbol (e.g. the number of the current page)
    • Standard symbol (usable in any document)
    • Program symbol (value from the print program)
    • Text symbol (“local variable”)
    The value of a symbol is text for using within SAPscript code and is represented by the symbol-name enclosed by ampersands. On seeing the tell-tale ampersands in SAPscript code, you sometimes need to figure out the symbol type.
    goto any PAGEWINDOW's Text elements in Script (SE71)
    from the Menu-> INSERT-> Symbols
    you find all symbols here
    System symbols
    System symbols in a SAPscript form are comparable to system fields like SY-UZEIT in an ABAP program, and include these. The graphical editor offers three types of system symbol.
    1. General system symbols
    See the table TTSXY. PAGE is the most widely used. The list given in our BC460 training manuals is out of date.
    2. SAPscript system symbols
    See the dictionary structure SAPSCRIPT. SAPSCRIPT-FORMPAGES is the most widely used.
    3. ABAP system symbols
    For the ABAP system field SY-UNAME, say, the symbol is SYST-UNAME. http://SYST is the dictionary structure for ABAP system fields.
    Sample code:
    User: &SYST-UNAME&
    Page &PAGE& of &SAPSCRIPT-FORMPAGES(C3)&
    Standard symbols
    Standard symbols are maintained centrally (in the table TTDTG via transaction SE75) for use in any document. Menu path:
    Tools
    Form Printout
    Administration
    Settings
    Some standard symbols are SAP-standard and others are custom. Curiously, table TTDTG is cross-client although SAPscript forms are not.
    The value of a standard symbol has to be defined for each language used. This gives a way to make a single SAPscript form multi-lingual.
    We can take advantage to an extent of the central maintenance, though there is no guarantee that the available standard symbols will used in every appropriate context.
    Standard symbols complicate searching a SAPscript form, since text like ‘Charity registration 211581’ may be hiding in a standard symbol.
    Text symbols
    A text symbol is declared and assigned to within the SAPscript code, and so obviously applies only to the current document. The command DEFINE is used, requiring /: in the tag column, as in the following examples.
    /: DEFINE &COMP_NAME& = ‘University of Warwick’
    /: DEFINE &WS_RATE& = &TAX_SUMM_C&
