Duplex printing configuration in SAP?

Hi friends
I had configured a HP8150 printer in the output attributes i had set the printmode as DUPLEX. is there anything that I have to do? kindly suggest me on this issue
Thank you

Hi John,
-The so10 print test confirms that your printer is ready to print dumplex if requested
-For the actual sapscript printout : Do you know the sapscript that is used ?
( if not, e.g. for an SD sapscript output you can find this back in table TNAPR for the output type used )
-goto transaction SE71 for your sapscript and choose the option 'PAGES' : Click on each page and you fill find a 'print attributes' box where you can change the page to DUPLEX. Save
-If you now retrigger a test output from the actual transaction, you should have duplex output ( if long enough ..)
To be more specific you need to teel us want document you are trying to print,
rgds

Printer configuration in sap

hi
can you give how to set up printer in SAP with details.
MVRao

Hi MV Rao
Setting a printer is an activity to be performed by Basis consultants.
Kindly ask your Basis consultant to do so.
However I am providing some important points below to configure the printer :
The transaction used is : SPAD
Device type : (Most of the time : SAPWIN : Rel.4.x/SAPlpd 4.09+ ONLY!)
Device Class : (Most of the time : Standard)
Access Method -
> Host Spool Access Method : F : Printing on Front End Computer.
Access Method -
> Host Printer : (Give some short Name )
With this basic info, you can configure the printer.
Please award points if found useful.

SAP Printer configuration

Dear All,
How I check the setting in printer configuration of the user from basis user.
Thanks
Manas

If you use local printing you can't check the settings because the local settings of the PC of the user are used.
The default printer of a user can be seen in transaction SU01

SAPScript Duplex Printing (SD Invoice)

Hi all gurus,
After reading some threads and as I told on this "answered" question from Manfred:
Re: Duplex Printing SapScript: Invoice - Printer tries but fails backside?
We need to print SD invoices in duplex mode.
Settings that we have changed by now:
- Sapscript: first page printmode as DUPLEX, next as default -> OK
- Since read from official SAP documentation, for sapscript duplex you don't need to change display type or device type from SPAD. So I left the one was been used. Anyway, to be sure, I change its print mode to DUPLEX. I have also check if the print control SPMDU appears on the device -> OK
- The printer we use is an OCE MP 1020 which can print on duplex mode and has PCL
- I have tried printing the text SAPSCRIPT-PRINTMODETEST from SO10 but duplex does not work. They print on different pages.
Following those instructions, I could not manage to do it.
I have some questions:
- Do we need to configure the printer locally in any way?
- About the example "SAPSCRIPT-PRINTMODETEST", do you need to configure something before testing it for duplex printing?
Could you please explain the needed steps to accomplish SAPScript duplex print?
Thanks in advance,
John

Hi Aidan,
Thanks for your response.
I have changed the device type from SAPWIN to HPLJ4000.

Can't get duplex printing to work

I have a HP Color LaserJet 4650 which is a duplex unit. Before 10.5 I would print regularly selecting in the Layout "Two-Sided" and it would work fine. Now, in 10.5 it seems that no matter what I try it will not print on both sides... help? or is this some bug that needs to be sorted out?
David

This is still broken in 10.5.1. I found a trick that works for my printer... using the CUPS (Common UNIX Printing System) configuration system as a workaround.
Go to http://localhost:631/ in your web browser.
Then click "manage printer".
Click "set printer options" on the printer with problems.
Scroll down to "duplex" under finishing and change the option here to "Long edge".
Duplex print, although you lose the option to single print it seems without going through this process.
If it works for your printer post it here.

Duplex Printing for HP Color LaserJet CP4005dn Setup

How can I get my duplex printing to show up/work from the printer pop-up menu. Have installed all HP CP4005dn drivers. Installed the printer with all installable options. Printer works fine except no duplex print options. Have followed Mac Help's "Displaying a printer's special features when you print" to the letter. Nada. Have UNinstalled the printer. Downloaded all Mac updates. Downloaded all HP updates. Have reinstalled the CP4005 printer with intallable options. Still no duplex print options. Where is the miss? Why can't I get the duplex to function?

Have you taken a look to the configuration of the Printer? I have a HP 2340 with duplex and to configure it I have to do the following:
On the Preferences Pane, click on Printing and Fax or open the Printer configuration Utility. In any case, click on the printer and choose "Configuration of the printer" (in the Printer utility this is in the pritner menu). Then you will see information of the printer... May be there you have an option to activate the duplex... In may case there is a checkbox.
But may be you have done this...

HP Laserjet 3015; Win 7; no duplex printing

I just upgraded to a new computer with Windows 7 using my old Laserjet 3015 (3-in-1) printer. Old setup with XP I could print duplex (printing on both sides). Now I cannot with Win 7.. I checked both printer-properties and printer-preferences for duplex printing.,Doesn't do duplex. I downloaded a new (?) driver for PCL5, no change. Called HP Help, after 1/2 hour and checking the same, did not help.
Can anyone suggest what should I do?
Thanks in advance
Peter

Hi Peter,
Please check the Device Settings configuration:
Enter Control Panel > Devices and Printers
Right click the PCL 5 printer icon, then click Printer Properties.
Click the Device Settings tab.
Locate the Two-Sided Printing Accessory option - is it set as installed?
If not, change the value to Installed.
Can you see the Two-Sided printing option under the Printing Shortcuts / Finishing tab?

Duplex printing with HP Color Laserjet 4650dn

Dear all,
I wanted to print the handouts of a Powerpoint presentation (Office for Mac 2008, v12.2.5), but could not get a double-sided copy. The printer (HP CLJ 4650 dn) is installed with the OS X 10.6.4 embedded drivers etc. as HP CLJ 4650. Works fine otherwise.
The settings for the printer in System Preferences/Print Fax/General indicate that I apparently have a driver version 16.4. By accessing the Printer Webpage I have set the duplex option ON and checked all the other options for there settings. As far as I know it seems correct.
I have ticked the box Duplex Unit in System Preferences/Print Fax/Driver.
However, when I want to print the slides/handouts and open the print window I can only see Manual Duplex as an option in the drop-down menu Copies & Pages. No straight forward Duplex Printing or Automatic Duplex Printing option whatsoever of which the printer is capable.
No problem with the two remaining MS Windows Vista PC's, which frustrates me.
Have I missed something? Or done something wrong/different?
If anyone has a suggestion I would be grateful.
Kind regards,
John Keasberry

Officejet Pro 8600 Plus duplex printing not working

I am running Mac OSX leopard (10.5.8) and just bought the officejet pro 8600. Everything seems to work great except I can't figure out how to print on two sides. The option isn't allowed in page setup
I have checked the settings on the printer and can't see anything to indicate how to switch on the option for double-sided printing.
Thanks in advance for the help.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi,
Please follow the steps below to configure the driver for automatic duplex printing:
1. Verify the duplex-printing accessory has been installed properly. To verify this open the System Preferences and go to Print & Fax. Open the print queue of your printer. Click on Printer Setup and from the tab menu choose Driver. Verify the box next to HP Two-sided Printing Accessory (Duplexer) is checked.
2. On the File menu, select Print. The Print window appears.
NOTE: The Print window might be minimized. Click the blue triangle next to the printer name to see all available settings.
3. In the expanded Print window you will find next to Copies the checkbox for Two-Sided. Check the box.
NOTE: If the checkbox does not appear within the specific application print dialog, skip this step.
4. To select the binding type click the lowest selection box listed as the name of the program (e.g. TextEdit)
Will appear as Copies & Pages within Microsoft Office applications.
5. Select Layout from the drop-down menu.
6. Set the Two-Sided option as Long-Edge binding (Portrait), or Long-Edge binding (landscape).
You may save the settings for future use by clicking Presets > Save Current Settings as Preset...
Please let me know of any problem,
Shlomi

Duplex Printing Bug with HP OfficeJet Pro L7680

Well - Duplex printing works but the back page will only print with binding on the top, Binding on the side does not work! Minor bug but still a bug at least with the HP!!

Kev,
A couple of points - assuming your using the HP OfficeJet Printer - I am assuming your connecting it via the Ethernet point which means it is communicating via IP. That being said - here is what I ran into.
When I first added the HP Printer - Leopard wanted to configure the printer via BONJOUR. I went ahead and let it do that - however printing was terrible!!!! I could send jobs to the printq, but the only way they would print was if I turned the printer on/off again - and the the would magically start printing. Then the printer would go "offline" and I was forced to do this same on/off routine.
So - I went back into add printers - and let the dialog box sit there for a little while and all of the sudden the list updated with an HP2A7180 - Kind - IP. I selected this printer and then told it to use the HP driver via the Print Using - drop down selector and my HP has been working fine since (minus the duplex).
Additionally it installed an configuration utility which allows me to monitor inks, settings and such.
Hope this helps - Bill

Duplex Printing (InDesign CS4 v6.0 document from Reader)

I have a 26.55MB PDF file with lots of graphics downloaded from a website and using Reader 9.0. The document was created with InDesign CS4, v6.0. It is set up to print duplex on 8.5 x 11 paper with room for punch holes. I am working with VISTA sp2, 32 bit OS and an HP photosmart 7350 (not equipped with automatic duplex printing, but will duplex manually) with an HP deskjet 5550 print driver. I have two major issues:
1-The pages are designed to print to the edge of the page (color tabs) and my printer designates a print area. Is there any way to change the print area on my printer?
2-The print setup will not recognize the document as double sided when I configure it to print double sided manually. Then I tried printing odd first, then even. It prints every other odd, then when I turn and refeed the document, it prints the other odds. When I select even, it prints every even correctly.
Please help! I need this 864 (432 double) page doc printed asap and trying to avoid printer costs. Also afraid a printer might have the same problem???

Thank you. When I reinstalled InDesign I ticked the box to replace the preferences but the reinstall did not do this. I know now because INDD did not open to that splash window as it did when I followed this tip.
Always the simple solution....
At least I *hope* this is the solution. I have only tried it in one bit which had crashed before. (I'll revisit this list if it does not work)
InDesign was so bad yesterday I was seriously thinking of going back to Quark.

Problem in Duplex Printing

Hi,
After following the discussion given in the below mentioned threads
1) issue
2) issue
I am able to print in duplex mode but still there is problem with the number of pages being printed.
Actually I just have to print two pages (back to back on a single sheet of paper), namely 1st page = 'Front' & 2nd page = 'Back'.
For the page 'Front'
Next Page = 'Back'
Print Mode = 'D'
There is command in the Main Window, having Go to new page = 'Back' set & Include printer control = 'SPMDU'
For the page 'Back'
Next Page = 'Front'
Print Mode = ' '
When I print with these settings the output is of 3 pages out of which the first 2 pages are perfectly alright (as they appear on a single sheet back to back) but then the 'Front' pages repeats itself on a new sheet.
How can I restrict the print out to just 2 pages?
I have myslef tried to set the Next Page of 'Back' to 'Back' or even left it empty but it does not work.
