Configure Network Printer in SAP

Hie Guru
I have been able to configure a network printer that is connected to a PC using Access method S and installing SAPSPRINT on the printserver. I'm now faced with a challenge on configuring a stand alone network printer. I would like to kno w that since this Ptinter is not connected to any PC were do i install SAPSPRINT. I'm also not very sure if the entries i made in Tcode SPAD are correct.
          Access Method: U 
          Host printer: <name of printer>
          Destination Host: <IP Address of the Network Printer>
Please any suggestions are welcome!
Regards

  • How to configure network printer on solaris 10 intel based

    how to configure the network printer in solaris 10
    like hp laserjet printer/printers,

    Very very easy.
    Go to the print manager . (printmgr I believe or in the launch menu under preferences)
    select add a network printer
    Fill out the info. I find that the hpijs printer driver works better then the suggested foomatic on my hp 4000s. I could not print pdfs otherwise.
    Other things to know is the protocol should be BSD (at least it works for me). And add the port to the destination so 192.168.0.1:9600 for example (for hp).
    thats about it. To have it show up correctly in JDS you should probably add it to the printer list under the launch->preferences->printer preferences.

  • How to configure network printer with Linksys WRT54GL router network

    I just bought a Linksys WRT54GL router and I am planning to build the following home-network around it:
    1. A desktop computer connected to router via ethernet cable (hard-wired).
    2. An HP Network Printer (Color LaserJet CM1312 MFP) connected to router via ethernet cable (hard-wired).
    3. A notebook connected to router via Wi-Fi.
    I want both computers (desktop and notebook) to be able to share files, and also to share the same network printer.
    a. How do I do this?
    b. Do I need to install the printer drivers in both computers as if the printer was local for each one?
    c. What settings do I need to include in the Linksys router settings (and also the printer settings) to allow all this? I've read on the internet about DHCP configs, IP address, etc. but I hardly understand anything.
    A step-by-step ("for dummies") explanation will be extremely appreciated.

    You will need to install the printer driver on each computer that will be using the printer.  You will need to have a printer driver that is designed to be used on a network.   Many of HP's drivers (but not all of them) can be used for either a USB or a network connection.
    Usually, when you use HP's printer installation software, it will walk you through the printer installation procedure, and install the printer drivers.  This software is normally located on a CD that came with the printer.  Some installation software demands that you setup a USB connection first, then switch to a network connection.  Other installation software might install a network connection directly.  Just follow the HP directions.
    There are no special settings in the router.  Simply wire (using an ethernet cable) your printer to a LAN port on the router, when the installation software (or instructions) tells you to do so.
    Your printer will likely get a different LAN IP address (192.168.1.x )  from time to time.  Some printer drivers can handle this and still work properly.  Other printer drivers get confused, and cannot find your printer when it changes addresses.  If your driver has this problem, then you will need to assign your printer a fixed LAN IP address.  This will force the printer to have the same LAN IP address each time you boot up your network.   If you need to do this, you will need to enter the LAN IP address directly into your printer (Sometimes this is done using the printer's buttons and display panel, and sometimes this is done using HP printer software).  Note that any fixed LAN IP address must be outside your DHCP server range (defaults are 192.168.1.100  thru  192.168.1.149 ) , and it cannot end in 0, 1, or 255.  If you need to use a fixed LAN IP address, I would suggest you use 192.168.1.13 , which should be easy to remember by looking at the model number of your printer.   If you need to use a fixed LAN IP address, you will also need to enter the Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway 192.168.1.1 , and DNS Server 192.168.1.1 , into your printer.   If you use a fixed LAN IP address in the printer, you do not need to change any settings in the router.  The router will automatically find your printer when you turn your printer on.   Even if your printer is using a fixed LAN IP address, your computers can continue to get their address automatically from the router's DHCP server. 

  • Smartform -Network printer format Issue

    Hi,
    I can print fine using my YPCC default printer.
    But When i do through network printer FORMAT is getting Disturbed( Values are printing in next line).How can we handle this? Do we need to do some driver program modifications?
    Here are the parameters in Driver program
    CALL FUNCTION fm_name
          EXPORTING
            archive_index        = toa_dara
            archive_index_tab    = arc_ind_tab
            archive_parameters   = arc_params
            control_parameters   = ls_control_param
            mail_appl_obj        = ls_recipient
            mail_recipient       = ls_recipient
            mail_sender          = ls_sender
            output_options       = ls_composer_param
            user_settings        = space
            wa_itab              = wa_header
          IMPORTING

        IF sy-subrc <> 0.
          WRITE: / 'ERROR in passing vars to the smartforms '.
        ENDIF.
        ls_composer_param-tdnewid = space.
        ls_control_param-no_dialog = 'X'.

    YOu need to modify the smartform not the driver program to print all lines the way you want by changing font size, reducing line length...etc..etc..
    It's printing fine on the default PC printer, because, it uses windows printer driver to render the output, where as SAP network printer uses SAP printer driver to generate the printer commands, there's always difference in the output between the two drivers.

  • Network printer sap printing settings

    Hello,
    I want to set the network printer on 4.7 oracle + unix system.
    I am having only ip address of printer.
    Can we do remote printing on network printer??????
    If no then which printing is possible and how to do setting (Access Method & Device Attributes )

    Hi Danniel,
    Of course, you can assign an printer directly on OS. If you are working on Digital unix, you need to define the printer in "\etc\printcap" first. If you are working on HP-UX, you need to define the printer on "SAM" tool, as a first step. Then choose "L: Print locally via LP/LPR with signal" and write down printer name that you have defined in configuration file on operating system. By doing so you can define the printer.

    Hi,
    do following,
    download sapsprint.exe from service .sap.com  (Note 927074 - Patches for SAPSprint)
    install it on your network server where network printer is attached.
    now in sap follow the steps,
    tcode  ->   spad -> configuration -> output devices -> change (F8) -> create
    output device ->  give name of printer i.e HP_printer
    short name -> HPP
    device type -> select your printer driver i.e HPLJ1100
    device class -> standard printer
    select tab access method
    Host Spool Access Method ->  S
    Host printer :  __DEFAULT
    Destination host:   ip address of host where sapsprint is installed
    now in su01 for every user assign this printer ( use SU10 for mass change)

  • Configure a Network Printer

    Hi Guyz,
    We did not configure printers on our SAP system, now we got a requirement to configure a network printer. Could you please determine or provide a link for configuring a network printer (Please dont give help.sap.com as this is very confusing.)  This is how i tried,
    tcode -> spad -> configuration -> output devices -> change (F8) -> create
    output device -> Canon_printer
    short name -> Canon
    device type -> canon
    device class -> standard printer
    select tab access method
    Host Spool Access Method -> S
    Host printer :  (what should i give here)
    Destination host: ip address or name of network printer
    Could you please determine whether this procedure is correct or anything we have to do. Our O.S. is UNIX & DB is Oracle.
    Thanks

    Rajendran,
    I guess the procedure is correct but You have specified
    Host Spool Access Method -> S
    I think you should use assess method as " U "  i.e. for Printing using a remote UNIX server or Microsoft Windows PC.
    and
    Host printer : < It is the printer name on the remote host , Note : It is case sensitive >
    Cheers!

  • Network Printer Configuration

    Hi everyone,
    We have printer model  Xerox WorkCentre 7228 and i have to configure it as network printer.
    I have the name of the printer and its IP address.
    I have 2 questions?
    1. We have SAP installed over HP-UX, so do i have to install unix driver for that network printer?
    2. The printer model Xerox WorkCentre 7228 is not listed in the Device types in SPAD,
        I checked the manufactiurer's website and they are providing device types for SAP R/3.
    How do i proceed, i mean download the device types, and then how to make that info available in SAP?
    Please help.
    Thanks
    Nanda

    Hi Nanda,
    The printer can be configured using one of the following types.
    1) Using SAP protocal
    In this type of configuration, you need to install the network printer on a windows server where you have the SAPSprint installed. For these type of the printer select the Access method 'S'. Give the host printer name as the same name that you have given in the windows server.
    2) Using third party Print setup
    In this you have to choose the Access method as 'E'. But in your case, it involves complete set up of the external Output management system like HPOMS, Columbus OM etc...Give the host printer name as the same name that you have given in the External Output Management system.
    3) Printers set up on the server.
    In this type you need to choose the Accessmethod as 'L'. You need to contact the HP-UX team to configure the printer  on the server on which your SAP runs. Give the host printer name as the same name that you have given in the HP-UX server.
    4) Printing using LOCL.
    In this type of the printer you need to choose device type SWIN and the Accessmethod as F. In this case you need to choose the host printer as __DEFAULT( 2 times Underscore ). This will print on the default printer of windows system of the user who ever is printing on that.
    For the Device Type,  even we have setup a printer using POST2 device type and is working fine.
    Please go through the below notes.
    Note 8928 - List of supported printers/device types.
    You can find some other notes specific to Xerox Model.
    For device type installation we should have that object present in our system.
    SPAD-> Utilities -> Import device type ->
    In screen select device type radio button, and mode as import
    Give location of that object and execute.
    You will have to select that object again by browsing it then give it as local object.
    Thanks,
    Nick S

  • Trying to use HPLJ 1102w as a wired network printer. How do you configure the network settings?

    I have an HPLJ 1102W and I want to use it as a wired printer on my LAN. The trouble is, the easy setup utility is geared toward wireless networking and the ethernet interface will not get a DHCP address from the LAN. In order to get an IP address, I have to go through the wireless networking configuration settings. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to use this printer as a wired network printer?
    thanks,

    Hi,
    The HP LaserJet P1102w provide USB or wireless network interface only.
    the product do not include any ethernet card, as you may also find by its spesification System Requirements below:

  • Network sizing for SAP printing

    Dear all,
    We are in the midst of sizing network bandwidth requirement for SAP implementation which involves some remote locations. Actually Iu2019ve gone through the documentation (Front-End Network Requirements for SAP Business Solutions), and found the way of calculating the network requirements based on number of users (C = N * D * X * 0.25 formula), however Iu2019m not sure if the formula does include the SAP printing bandwidth requirement. Appreciate if you can shed some lights on SAP printing network sizing guide or sort.
    Best regards
    Rolando

    Thanks Susanne,
    Understand we need to rely on the information on how much the printing requirement is to come up with the estimation on SAP printing bandwidth requirement.
    Perhaps you have some experience on the size of 1 page of SAP printlist (plain text) ? Is it safe to have assumption that 1 page of print list would have 20-30 KB in size? And ones with pictures/logos are 100-200KB in size?
    Best regards

  • How do I configure  a G4 to a network printer

    My client has a G4 MDD and a Quicksilver both running OS 9.2.2. I upgraded the MDD to 10.2 for now. I need to know how to configure the MDD to a small office network with one printer and a scanner. I loaded all the OS X drivers and the computer was connected via ethernet with an IP address. Any help in configuring this as my expertise is not in this area. I will upgrade the Quicksilver soon as I get this to work.
    anybody?

    I'm not familiar with a 5400 model. However, there should be a front panel and the printer should have a TCP/IP card in it for Ethernet networking. If so, then you can configure the printer in one of two ways: 1) fixed IP address; or 2) DHCP if the printer's network card supports it.
    I would suggest using DHCP if it's available because that's much simpler. If you must go the fixed IP route then you must configure an IP address for the printer, the network mask, and the router's gateway IP. These latter two will be displayed in Network preferences of System Preferences. The IP address you assign to the printer must be within the router's range of IP addresses assigned by its DHCP server. Typically this may be 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.199, but it will depend on what the router uses. Pick an IP address beyond what the router is usually assigning to the networked computers to avoid any overlap.
    In Printer Setup Utility you would select IP printing and choose LPR from the drop down menu. Provide the IP address for the printer that you've configured, and provide a queue name such as Xerox_5400 - no spaces or special characters other than the underscore. It's usually best to keep it short. You can then locate the printer driver to use from the list of drivers that shows up, then click on the Add button.
    As far as I remember the OS 9 setup is very similar, but it's been too long for me to remember how that's done other than you are configuring an LPR printer.
    As for the scanner I'm at a loss. Scanners are not generally networked, and I do not believe there is a way to use a networked scanner in OS X.

  • Configuring a Network Printer to Solaris 9

    How can we configure a network printer to the server

    The easiest way is to use the printmgr command, which is a GUI. Othervise you can add it using lpadmin, the syntax of which i don't recall at heart, but i think there are some useful examples in the manpages or in the forum.

  • Limiting network bandwith for SAP printing

    We are usinge ERP 6.0 (Win / MSSQL).  One of the issues we are facing is that SAP printing take too much network bandwith.
    Our network bandwith between Datacenter and office is 1Mbps.   
    Is ther any way to limit the use of network bandwith for SAP printing. Let's say up to 30 % of bandwith is assigned to SAP printing.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I am not aware of such way to "assign" bandwidth. For this reason you need to do precise network capacity planning and start the printing only when you do not have a peak of other important activities.
    Best regards.
