Frontend printing immediately

Hi,
I have a problem with my MiniSAP system. I am not able to print immediately on my loacal printer with LOCL and SWIN in SPAD.
The only way to use it: Restart frontend printing in SP01.
Thanks

Hi,
Are you trying to print immediately via Frontend with LOCL from a background job? This is not possible as there is no connection to the Frontend GUI when running a background job.(See SAP note 128105, section 3.c) If you want to use a windows device type like SAPWIn or SWIN from a background job, you need to define an output device with Access Method S with the printer defined in a windows print server running SAPSprint.(see SAP note 894444)

Print immediately

HI everybody,
Is it possible to specify in an abap program that I want to print a list immediately after clicking on the print button?
I don't want that the user chooses 'Send to SAP spooler only for now'.
Is it possible???
Thank you.

Hi Karim
The <b>ITCPO</b> structure in Scirpts is used to set characterstics to Output interface to the scripts.
Here you can give values to print parameters like no of copies to print, Spool request, Print preview option, type of device specificatin etc.
You will use this structure in the OPEN_FORM function module for the parameter OPTIONS.
Different variants can be defined for the output via the parameter OPTIONS. The structure is described in table ITCPO. Some of the fields contained in this structure can be changed by the user via the print dialog.
Yes, there is. It is used in Sapscript print programs to load up output paramaters. It is used when call the OPEN_FORM function module in the print program. Here is the structure

Print immediately option for ME21N(PO) and ME41(RFQ)

Dear friends,
Can anybody please tell me for the purchase orders(ME22N),if we select messages button,select communication method----in this screen,print immediately button is automatically coming.
Where i have to do settings to see that in Communication method under messages of PO(ME22N),printing immediately should not come automatically.
With our client for PO-print immediately is set automatically and for RFQ-it is not set.
Client wants that for PO print shall not come automatically on saving/approving the PO.
please suggest where to remove the print immdiately setting for PO.
Advance Thanks ,
Regards,
Dayanand

Hi Gopala,
For RFQs currently-in MN02,
Medium is set to '1' and Date/Time is '4' i.e send immediately on saving the application.And while creating RFQ,under messages,in communication button,print immediately button is unchecked. So whenever print is needed ,print button is checked and getting the print.
But in PO, Medium is set to '1' and Date/Time is '4' i.e send immediately on saving the application.And while creating the PO,under messages/comminication data,print button is automatically coming with checked option,so as soon as approval PO print is coming.where as in RFQ,print check button is not comming as default as checked , so they are getting the print whenever they want. If they want they will create the meassage type with print immediately check the button and get the print.
The same feature shall be there in PO. How to avoid the print immediately check button coming automatically in communication data under messages.print immediately check button should not come automatically same as RFQs.
please suggest.
Regards,
Dayanand

Frontend printing from bypass tray

Dear Experts,
We have the following requirements:
We have a smartform printed from customized program that will print product information (material number, batch number, and description). The requirement from the users is such that the printout should come from the Bypass Tray of the printer - LOCL which is the frontend printer.
So far, what we have tried unsuccesfully so far are:
1. Change the printer's preference (in the Windows setting) such that paper source is from the Bypass Tray.
2. Create a new page format (default printout from Bypass Tray) and use this new page format in the form.
I would greatly apprecieate it if anybody that has had this requirement before, would be willing to share your experience on how to solve this issue.
Thank you and Have a Nice Day.

Something to do with printer driver.

Frontend printing using SAPsprint

Currently we are using frontend printing using SAPlpd. This method is not recommended anymore and we have issues with it. So we would like to use SAPsprint instead.
Here is a typical scenario:
1- Web AS running on a UNIX box in location A
2- SAP GUI on Windows XP in location B
3- Print server running Windows 2003 server in location B
My question is: where should we install SAPsprint? What needs to be changed on Web AS? Do we still need SAPlpd on Windows XP workstations?
Cheers,
Masoud

Hello Masoud,
   Our implementation has SAPSprint running on our CI which then routes the job to our Windows print server that has all the printers defined and shared. We do not have SAPSprint installed on each workstation. SAPLPD will still run via the SAP GUI if the user selects the local print option which means that it will use the devices attached to that workstation directly. The SAPLPD that is used locally is part of our GUI install and is valid to use in conjunction with SAPSprint (for server based printing).
Example Output Device in SAP:
DeviceAttributes Tab
Device Type              ZHPLJ4 ZHPLJ4   : HP Laserjet 4 serie
Spool Server             r3ciserver_P01_00
Server Description
Host                     r3ciserver
Device Class              Standard printer
Access Method Tab
Host Spool Access Method C C: Direct operating system
Host printer
printserver\mis          ***Windows Print Server***
Host Name                r3ciserver                 ***Central Instance***
Hope that helps you some,

How to enable frontend printing using Adobe Print Forms

Otto Gold at the forum "SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe" gave me the tip that Sandra Rossi in this forum might help me out. Here is the link to my original thread How to enable frontend printing using Adobe Print Forms
My question was:
Hi Experts!
Did anyone of you manage to enable frontend printing using Adobe Print Forms? In order to save administration effort we use frontend printing in our ERP system. We just changed some SMARTFORMS to the new Adobe Forms technology. Now we learned that direct frontend printing does not work with these forms.
Any help will be very much appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Gerald

I think you'll be disappointed by a rather negative answer but I'll try to explain everything I know (or think I know) the best I can
The simplest solution is to do a preview, and print from Adobe Reader! (as I could see on one project, users have to display one more dialog than usually to print) It's the best workaround according to me.
How Adobe form printing works:
When you print an Adobe form from SAP, a printer language (PCL, PS, ZPL, PDF) is retrieved from TSP0B table according to the device type, ADS (Adobe Document Services, installed in the SAP java stack) is then contacted to generate the form: a file corresponding to the printer language is generated and sent back to SAP (there are also 2 other little files but it's of none interest here). SAP stores it as a file (named SPOOL...) in the global directory (DIR_GLOBAL when you use AL11 transaction).
When you ask SAP to print it, it sends the file as is to the printer.
Note: when you ask SAP to display the spool, SAP sends a request to ADS which will send back a PDF (binary stream which is not stored on disk, just displayed on frontend).
How frontend printing works:
If you want to print a normal spool via frontend, SAP doesn't know the language of the printer you will choose. SAP sends the spool in a format named SAPWIN to a frontend program named SAPLPD, it converts the SAPWIN format into GDI, a Windows format that is understood by all printer drivers, and it is sent to the printer driver (you have selected) which converts the GDI format into the printer language.
Any workaround?
First possibility would be that ADS converts the PDF into SAPWIN format (by creating an Adobe .XDC file at the ADS side). SAP says it's not possible in Note 685571 - Printing PDF-based forms. As I understand, SAPWIN is a very simple language compared to PCL for example, so it is very difficult to convert a PDF to SAPWIN without losing much information. There's a SAP note about the SAPWIN language if you want to check.
Second possibility is to print directly the PDF through Adobe Reader: you get the PDF from ADS, download it to the frontend (easy), and execute directly Adobe Reader print function. Unfortunately, I don't know if it's possible. Moreover, we should enhance the standard SAP print dialog...
Third possibility is the one I recommended at the beginning of this post

Frontend printing issue

Hi,
In our SRM system there is background job runs ZPRINT_PO which runs successfully but it gives the spool request which shows status "waiting".When i double click on status it shows me Status text "Frontend unavailable".
If I try to re-print this manualy than it shows in completed status.
Can anybody please suggest on this....
Regards,
Manish

Hello Manish,
it seems that you try to print the spool in background and that your printer is a frontend printer with the 'Host spool access method F: printing on Front End Computer' (in transaction SPAD).
This doesn't work as far as I know. You have to provide a printer with an other Host spool access method, e.g. C or S or U).
Printing on a frontend printer means that the SAP System can <b>reach</b> the Frontend (the PC), this is not guaranteed. Perhaps you turn off your PC and then the background job can't reach your frontend.
Hope that helps,
Michael
