Any printer UI for change printer settings?

Since Solaris 10's printing system is powered by PPD files. (at least for some printers). I suppose I can access all features PPD file provide: Change page size, input-tray, output-tray, color-mode, etc.
Is there a GUI that comes with Solaris that can help me change printer settings? (The printer manager is useless)
How do I tell what command line option a PPD file provides? (Yes, I can write my own script to parse the PPD file for OpenUI, CloseUI), but what's Sun's solution for it?

/usr/sadm/admin/bin/printmgr &
Don't ask me why it's in a weird location.
It's the Best GUI In The World -
gives you the option of a console
window, so you can see what it's
doing on the command-line in
response to your button-clicks.
Dunno about the PPDs.
cheers.

Printer listener for every print action in any application installed in the system

Do you have the old printer queue in use? This made problems in my case. Remove the queue and the printer in prefpane. Add the printer again and try out. Perhaps in your case it is a differnt problem, but you have nothing to loose.

F-58 Print Program for Check Printing

Hi Guys,
Have some questions here:
1) How to locate the print program for F-58 on the Check? We can configure the form by payment method but can't seem to find the print program like other FI correspondences.
2) Can i ignore the check printing and just print payment advice (if any) after posting via F-58?
Anyone has done this before?
Please advice.
Thanks and Regards,
Andrew

Hi
I think I could understand your requirement. There is no special PRINT PROGRAM FOR Payment Advice.
There is Print program for check printing : RFFOUS_C
along with above print program Payment Advice and Payment summary will be printed.
check tcode: OBVCU, here we assign the print program.
and Form will be assigned in tcode: OBVU
or in last case do payment with out any print and create payment advice manually in tcode: FBE1
any questions revert back please

Is there any user exit for changing V1 field value?

Hello Expert,
Is there any user exit for changing V1 update value?
For example, sales order number will populate 2LIS_11_VAHDR-VBELN. If other value need to populate 2LIS_11_VAHDR-VBELN, can we use any user exit to customize the V1 routine?
Please forget the enhancement for 2LIS_11_VAHDR. Just populate the system field VBELN.
Thanks
F-B-I

Hi,
Use the 'usual' user-exit for transactional data in R/3 EXIT_SAPLRSAP_001 (CMOD). Here your can overwrite VBELN for each extracted record with the value you want.
Hope this helps.

Changing Print Size for online printing

I have hundreds of pictures from a recent trip that I want to print to a 4x6 print. The problem is that the pictures were taken in the incorrect ratio for this print size. I know that a common solution is to crop the picture, but I do not want to do this, I want the entire picture - with a white border around it if necessary. I can get Elements 9 to do this for me for home printing from the print screen and selecting the print size that I want. However, I want to upload these photos to an online printing service (snapfish, shutterfly, etc). I have tried using their digital print size option on Snapfish, but it still crops my pictures.
So,
1. How can I get elements to save the file for me in a compatible 4x6 ratio without cropping, that I can use to upload to a printing service?
2. How can I do this in a batch process as there are over 1000 pictures that have this issue?
3. If elements can't do this, what software can?
Thanks

I think all you need to do is "Process multiple files". Here is what I would do:
Put all my files to a folder.
Go to File>Process Multiple Files
Use File option as Process from:
check the resize image and input your desired dimension in inches. I would change the resolution setting to 300 so that it remain good enough for printing.
Please let us know if it works for you

HP LaserJet Pro P1102w printer "Ready" for wireless printing, but gives "error -- printing" message

This P1102w printer was configured for wireless printing from two computers (WinXP and Win7), both with a network sharing designation, and all functions worked perfectly:
Printing from the WinXP computer directly, and from a networked Win2K computer as a guest.
Printing from the Win7 computer directly, and from a networked Win2K computer as a guest.
Windows Printer Test Pages were printed from both installed computers, showing correct computer names, the printer name, Port names (IP addresses), Data format (IMF), Driver information, etc.
Several days later (after new boots), the WinXP computer showed printer status as being "Ready", along with the correct printer "Type" (HP LaserJet Professional P1102w), "Where" (IP address), and "Comment" (network printing). When a print job was submitted from Microsoft Word, the control-panel printer window first showed the message "printing", and then the message "error -- printing". Nothing was printed. The same results occurred when a print job was sent to the WinXP computer from the networked Win2K computer. HP’s troubleshooting routine did not identify the error, its cause, or what can be done about it.
Successful printing continued, as before, from the Win7 computer directly, and from the networked Win2K computer to the Win7 computer as a guest.
The printer’s blue “i” network indicator lamp is lit, and all three computers continue to communicate through the hub to each other and to the Internet.
HP’s printer installation program was executed on the WinXP computer, using the “fix” option, but nothing changed. The installation program was executed again on the WinXP computer, using the “new install” option (without removing the existing P1102w installation); the “browse” function saw the network, but no printers were found, and the installation could not be completed.
This is very perplexing. Any suggestions?
PS: The same problem occurred once before, and it was fixed by resetting factory defaults on the printer, hard wiring the printer to the WinXP computer through a USB cable, re-installing the printer’s wireless settings from HP’s installation disk, and repeating all of the networking and sharing setups on all three computers. This is a lot of work that is not worth repeating, because the successful results have not been permanent.

To: Neonskeleton,
Thanks for your response -- especially because you are an HP employee!
My Win2k machine does not use HP software, nor communicate to the HP printer. (HP did not write a Win2k driver for the P1102w -- and evidently no one else has done this, either.) My WinXP and Win7 machines use their HP drivers to send print jobs to the P1102w wirelessly, and both machines have the P1102w set up as a shared printer. Then, when I connect to those machines as a "guest" and submit a print job to those machines, those machines receive the print job and then communicate with the printer using the proper installed printer drivers.
Everything worked great with this configuration, until suddenly the printer was no longer responsive to ANY jobs coming from the WinXP machine, even though there was a "printer ready" indication on the WinXP machine, and even though the printer responded perfectly to print jobs coming from the Win7 machine.
When I tried to "fix" the WinXP setup by running HP's setup program on CD, nothing changed. Then, when I tried to reinstall the WinXP setup for wireless printing, the program insisted that I reset THE PRINTER'S factory defaults and proceed using a USB cable -- even though I wanted to simply ADD the computer for wireless communication to an existing networked printer! I would conclude that something screwed up the printer's inner settings (maybe an unsolicited and invisible HP update sent to my printer from the Internet?).
As I mentioned in my original post, I went through this process once before, reinstalled everything on all machines, and all was well. Until THE SAME non-recognition problem surfaced again!
I do not want to spend any more time on this. I went to Staples and bought a second P1102w printer (it is a nice little machine that uses a xerographic cartridge, rather than costly inkjet cartridges that frequently plug up). I'll use a USB cable for the connection, rather than the installed wireless feature, and set up the P1102w as a shared printer. I expect that all of my other computers will be able to link as a "guest" through the wireless hub and be able to print.
Thanks again.
PS. I am a retired computer-systems manager from Northrop Grumman.

When printing labels for each printed label a blank label comes out of the printer

Hello Experts
We have a CR report which is designed to prints labels for the items using a label printer. After an upgrade that we have last month the settings for this report are missing so the labels were coming out wrong.
Due to this I have had to reconfigure this report and its printing preferences and so far I have managed to make the prints fit in each label. But the problem is that if I try to print 5 copies of a label, the 5 labels come out of the printer just fine, butt after it another 5 blank labels come out of the printer too.
I have tried with all parameters in "Printing preferences", mainly in the "Material" tab but nothing works.
Thanks in advance and regards

Hi,
Please check below SAP note and let me know your feedback:

Printing problem for inkjet Printer

Dear All,
my requirement is that the printing output to the inkjet printer.
till now we are using smartforms/script and printing output to laser/dmp printer.
can any body suggest how to code for inkjet printer and what all other factor to be consider.
if any sample code, pls provide same.
Thanks,
Radhashyam Sahoo

Hi,
Pls follow the steps.
1. Goto t-code SPAD. Give the o/p device number here, than display. (For eg PR01)
2. Here in Device type, You can specify your Device whichever you would like to use. Keep the other field as per your requirement.
In sapscript driver program, follow the coding:
data : s_itcpo type itcpo.
s_itcpo-TDDEST = 'PR01'.   -----> Output device
s_itcpo-tdimmed   = 'X'.
s_itcpo-tddelete = 'X'.
s_itcpo-tdnewid = 'X'.
*     Display one dialog for user. Then enable several SAP-Script to prt
call function 'OPEN_FORM'
    exporting
      device   = 'PRINTER'
      dialog   = 'X'
      language = sy-langu
      options = s_itcpo   ----- > +Printing parameter+
    importing
      language = sy-langu
    exceptions
      canceled = 1
      device   = 2
      form     = 3
      options = 4
      unclosed = 5
      others   = 6.
Same thing you can define for smart forms before calling a smartform.
Is it helpful?

Printer driver for Epson printer not found

I have an Epson Stylus Color 860 printer. Epson apparently does not support this printer anymore, at least with Lion. I downloaded a driver from Gutenprint that seemed to do the trick. The only "problem" is that I get this message in the Printer Utility whenever I print.
Is there anything I can do about this? Or should I just leave well enough alone? Like I said. The printer seems to print just fine from both OS X 10.7.1 and 10.6.8.

It sounds like you may have a preference file left over from the Epson Stylus Color 860 printer.
1) Have you followed the directory path, /Library/Printers/Epson/CIOSupport, to see if the plug-in exists.
2) Check for a preference file named for the printer in /Library/Preferences
3) Check for a preference file named for the printer in ~/Library/Preferences
4) Check for an Epson print driver named for the printer in ~/Library/Printers
If you find items in those locations from Epson for the Stylus Color 860 printer, move them to the Trash or a folder on the Desktop. See if the message goes away.
Be careful not to Trash any files related to the Gutenprint driver.

Deskjet F 4480 and a print server for network printing

I have a HP Pavilion (win 7) and an Acer netbook ( Win XPsp3) wirelessly networked with the HP Paviion as the host for the Deskjet multifunction printer. I would like to set up a print server to alleviate some problems we are having with the Acer accessing the printer. Uaually all is ok, but It seems that whenever that netbook is put into sleep mode, I have to reboot it, shut down the printer (even to the point of disconnecting the USB and power cords, and then re hooking up all the cables) to get ithe netbook to print. so, I am looking at installing a print server to get around this annoyance.
I am using a DLink WB-1310 router, BTW.
Any suggestions on a capable print server? Not to mention any other suggestions, which i certainly would appreciate.
Thank you, all.

HP-provided drivers don't support network printing. You'll need to install Foomatic (a PPD interpreter), ESP ghostscript (postscript translator) and the 712c PPD from:
http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/foomatic/
http://www.linuxprinting.org/showprinter.cgi?recnum=HP-DeskJet712C
Then, since we don't have the auto-setup software for OS X, you need to review the print server manual and find out which IP printing protocol to use. The easiest is HP Jetdirect (called TCP/IP raw port printing in many manuals) if it's available, because it doesn't require the device queue name.
Good luck.

Print Driver for Samsung printing machine doesn't exist?

Hello. At my workplace they have recently purchased a new giant printing machine called the Samsung SCX-7145. As a disclaimer I live and work in S. Korea so of course things are more confusing. Apple computers barely exists here.
Anyway, how can I print using this machine? It has an IP address and I tried adding the printer just using the IP address with no luck in printing. I can't find any mac drivers for the machine. Any ideas what to do?

In case anyone wants to know in the future I just added the IP address of the printer, selected a different Samsung driver and it seems to work now.

How can I create more than one printer queue for a printer

I would like to have more than one "default" setting for my printer. This is so I can use a 3rd party print utility (fingerprint) to print to a non-airprint printer from my ipad. The utility prints using the default configuration. I don't need to get fancy here. Just "draft B&W' , "normal", and "Color best quality". If I need something else, I can always email the document to my MacBook. The utility has something about a virtual printer, but all I could find about that is that it is used for PDF printing and maybe a workflow.
My technology level: Used to be a programmer, after a decade of retirement, I can't even program an applescript today.

Take a look at this add-on.

Can u tell me any predefined BAPI for change and creation of Material

Hi,
Can anybody tell me predefined BAPI for change and creation of Materialmasterand Pricing?
Thanks & regards,
Gopianne.

you can use the BAPI to BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA create as well as to change material master.
When changing material master data, you need enter only the material
number.
In the header data, you must select at least one view for which data is
to be created. Depending on the view selected, you must maintain other
required parameters. If you do not enter values for all of the required
parameters, the method is ended with an error message.
The corresponding fields in the tables (such as CLIENTDATA) must first
be supplied with data by the calling program. An indicator must also be
set for each of these fields so that the data is written to the database
by the method. This requires the calling program to supply the
corresponding field with the indicator in a checkbox table (for example,
CLIENTDATAX). Checkbox tables exist for tables that do not contain any
language-dependent texts (MAKT, MLTX), International Article Numbers
(MEAN), or tax classifications (MLAN). Several data records for a
material can be created in these tables.
