Frontend printing method G question.

Hi All,
is it possible to print on frontend workstation using method "G" but bypassing windows printer selection dialog box?
Thanks in advance.
Jacek

Check out SAP Note # 938965. I think it might solve your problem:
<i>Printer checkbox can be deactivated with access method "G" You want to be able to deactivate the printer checkbox with access method "G". For this purpose, you have to select the checkbox for the non-selection of devices on the front end when defining the printer in Transaction SPAD.</i>

Frontend Printing Using Access Method G - Properties

I am looking for some light on Frontend printing using access method G. I am using ERP 4.7 on Windows 2000 and SQL 2000. We are using access method G to print and when users get the pop up dialog to print, the properties and the cancel options are grayed out. The printers are already define in all of our SAP systems. We are using the latest Kernel 640 and patch level 247 as well as sapgui 7.10 with patch 15.
Thanks for your help in advance

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

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,
Welcome you on board. You have posted 3 questions on 3 different forums. That is a smart action. However, this forum is only for SAP Business One user. Please close your thread.

Frontend printing immediatelly

Hi,

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)

Printed front panel graphics quality (Print Panel to Printer method vs. Append Front Panel Image to Report.vi)

LV 6.02 (or 6.1)
NT 4.0
I have a vi that the front panel includes all the information I need to print except that it is on different pages of a tab control to conserve screen space. I was attempting to programatically cycle the value of the tab control in a For loop and invoke the Print Panel to Printer method to print 7 pages of the front panel, each with a different tab page selected. The printouts were excellent quality but beginning with the second consecutive Print Panel to Printer method the on screen front panel image of the VI being printed would become jumbled (sometimes, by the time 7 printings were done, the entire front panel image would disappe
ar and a bitmap of the desktop or underlying windows would be visible in the VI's panel frame) yet the subsequent Print Panel to Printer methods continued to print the panel as they should appear. The visible front panel graphics would never return to normal and the only solution was to close the vi (in the dev system) or exe (compiled) and re-launch. I tried a lot of things (like hiding the panel to print before printing and showing it after printing) with no luck. It appears that two or more of these consecutive invoke methods caused the problem regardless of whether the tabs were cycling, or even if there was no tab control and much fewer controls on the panel to be printed than normal. I also had the same problem with LV 6.1.
Finally, I was forced to switch to the report generation toolkit vi's, I cycle through the tab pages and use the Append Front Panel Image to Report.vi to append each image to the report. This is faster and control returns to my program quicker but I a
m unhappy with the printed quality of the graphics of the front panels. They are not as high of resolution as those generated via the Print Panel to Printer method.
Any suggestions?

You might try changing the way the VI is printed by going to tools >> options >> printing. Try the postscript and bitmap settings.

Help reqd to display the FORM without Print method.

Hi all,
I did one gate pass form and i want to view the form in my selection screen or output screen(just in monitor) as a display by giving one Z-code.
i.e, we can view the form thru Print preview...the same preview, i want to display after i give my parameter in the selection screen.
For example.ZGPOUT if i enter as a t-code.
it should ask my Gate Pass number in the Selection screen...if its right then my Form will come out to the display screen. (instead of going by Print method).,
Pls post ur comment and reply me with examples,if possible.
thanks & regards
sankar.

Hi Sankar,
Its bit ambigious......but logic is very simple...........
1. Create a Z.....report
2. Inside this create your selection parameters
3. Do your logic for the selection screen(use list box option or F4 help) to ask for the gate pass number.
4. Call the required form. (For print preveiw assign 'X' to tdpreview of ITCPO)
5. Finally assign your print program to the tcode which will finally do rest of the coding.
Thanks,
Mark

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.

Binary Tree search and print methods

Hello, I'm trying to create a binary tree from inputs of a user. I believe I have the tree set up right because it shows no errors, but I'm getting an error message with a line of code. I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. Also, I need to create a print method, which prints the tree's entries and a search method which would search the tree for certain record.

   }im sure its something simple, i seem to always look over the small stuff. But i could really use some help on the print and search method too

Just having a quick look over it, and it looks like you are trying to add an extra argument in the TreeNode() method (unless there is a bit of overloading and there is a second treenode method in there) As it is TreeNode only accepts two argumets you have 3
As for printing the tree you would need to flatten it, that is an in order traversal of the tree.
FWIW
I just finished a project at uni that involved at frist writing a BST and then an AVL tree. the full point of these things seems to be to keep students awake at night*

Frontend Printing Html Browser

Hello, after upgrade to basis 7.0 and switching to the integrated ITS we have problems with frontend printing via html Gui.
I configured Frontend Printing with the aid of sapnote 771683. Sapnote 957292 is fullfilled, also sapnote 1106643.
When i use the print option, a new Browser window obens with a list of spool requests. Iam supposed to select one. When i do this a message
File Not Available: /usr/sap/P03/SYS/global/0013kc3F.P03 appaers
But: on the Application Server the file exists.
It doesnt work with IE an Firefox. Other PDF are shown and printed without problem (e.g. pdf from sapnet) from Browser
Any ideas???
Greetings

Print methods of a class at run-time

Suppose I have a class. At run-time I get an object of that class. I want to print methods defined in that object using System.out.println(). How can I do that?
Thanks

Take a look at Object.getClass(). It returns a Class object. Then look at the methods within the Class class that you can invoke. Some of them return arrays of Method objects, for instance.
Learn to read the API and experiment with the available methods you already have (such as getClass(), available for every object).

How do I configure a Frontend Printer for User type - Communication "C"

Hi,
Inorder to facilitate the business process in our company we have assigned (using T.code OMJ3) 2 Storage locations to print the material documents to the front end printer whenever a GR or GI/GT is performed.
Recently we implemented a project, to perform a GR (movement type 505) using dotnet application, which connects to SAP R/3 using a Login Id with user type "C" (communication). The material documents cannot be printed as the system is searching for a frontend printer. If we assign a particular Printer we are able to print, but this does not help our business process effectively.
Can we configure to print the material document on the front end printer? Assumed that fronted printer cannot be configured to this user type and we tried to use the T.code OMJ4 to assign the user group, but did not work. The output determination was always pointing to the frontend printer and the spool is in "waiting" status.
Please suggest how can we configure so that at the same storage location, we should be able to use the frontend printer by user type dialog or communication.
Or any alternate way of doing this.
Thanks
