Hi,
ALV print is not possible. if u give print also, it will come as normal report print.

I created an ALV grid.
But the header and the footer part are not seen in the print preview, in which i think won't also be printed.
What will I do for it to be printed?

Optimizing images for Help and Print/PDF
i'm struggling with how to optimize graphics so they look good in both Help and print/pdf output.
I use Snag-it to Capture and save as PNG 300 dpi.
I often put the images in Vision and add callouts and save as PNG.
From RH I generate a printed output (Word) which I convert to PDF.
So with all the programs an image goes through (snag-it > visio > RH > Word > PDF) i'm not always sure what the best settings are.
Does anyone have guidelines/suggestions ?
ThanksI've had very good luck going from a SnagIt capture to Robohelp to Word to PDF. I add callouts directly in SnagIt to save myself a step and save the files as a 24-bit (True Color) PNG. The graphics are very legible in the WebHelp output, in the Word document, and in the printed PDF.
The only thing that doesn't work well, I've found, is when I reduce the size of a graphic in either SnagIt or Robohelp. Instead, to keep a graphic's dimensions manageable, I either shrink the s/w application window before I grab the screen, capture just a portion of the screen, or crop the screen shot in SnagIt.

Hi Abap-Experts,
I have one issue regarding simple ALV report.
I need to display search-help for field DISMM. I have used below code in ALV fieldcatalog.
ts_fieldcat - tabname = 'TD24A'.
ts_fieldcat - tabname = 'DISMM'.
I have attached search-help for fields such as MATNR and WERKS too.
The search-helps are getting displayed for MATNR as well as WERKS.
But, the search-help is not gettting displayed for field DISMM(RP-TYPE) .
The output displayed is done using Simple ALV.
Could anyone please help me and correct my code or logic i have used.Hi,

Hi everyone,
I have a report that was created with ALV, everything works fine until we print.
When we print the report, it is printed in one page and that's ok, but the size is reduced, I mean the size is very small, any idea why we have this issue?.
Thanks
Eduardo Campos.HI Hduardo Campos,
For printing ALV report or Normal report we need separte format while printing.
Please fallow the fallowing steps to achieve your requirement.
Steps:
1. You have to create your own page format.
SPAD-> Full Administration -> Device Types -> Page Formats -> Define the respective Page formats
2. You have to define your own format type and attach the newly created page format to that.
3. while creating the format type using existing script code from other formats.
( Here while wrting the script just test the font & font size as per your requirement)
4. While ALV report printing select the Format option and enter your newly created format name( If you are not seeing report format option then select the properties option then select the report format then enter the required format name)
fallow the above steps, so that you will able to print ALV report successfully.
Still if you are facing any problem, let me know i will send you the detailed screen shots for the same.
Right now in my current project i am using the same procedure and succesfuuly achieved the results.
Regards,
Rajani -

MacBook - Newbie: Need help on printing wirelessly to XP shared printer
MacBook - Newbie: Need help on printing to XP shared printer
Bear with me please. I read tons of articles on this but somehow as a newbie to MAC (girlfriends sick daughter), I am missing something. 10.5.2
Currently, she can print directly if we plug in the HP Deskjet printer directly via USB to the MACBook. No problem.
When we first got the MACBOOK I tried setting up the MACBOOK wirelessly to recognize the workgroup where the printer was attached via USB to the Windows XP PC. However it printed out garbage since I did not know there was a difference between XP printing and MAC (Gutenberg/gimp printing/drivers).
Now I know there is a difference.
But in reading various instructions, I no longer can find how to connect the MAC to the Windows workgroup. Note we do have a printer set up currently as USB-HP Deskjet on the Macbook (not sure I need to delete it yet).
I went to System Preferences on MACBOOK and clicked on printers, more printers. In the drop down box was CANON, APPLETALK, IP HP printing and Firewire. There was no WINDOWS selection as I saw in other online web instructions.
So not sure how to proceed to find a way to:
1. Connect to Windows workgroup (click on what exactly), step by step please!!
2. Add correct HP Deskjet 5490 printer (perhaps there is one with Gutenberg or perhaps I need Gutenprint-really not sure what I am talking about)
Thanks so much in advance. Fiancé's kid has had her cancer recur in a different place and someone was nice enough to buy her a MACBOOK as a gift.
Sincerely

OK...I figured it out...no need to reply. I noticed that there was another Protocol to use to set up the printer on the Mac, I was using LPD, so I switched it to HP Jet Direct-socket, and it prints fine...thanks. I am curious as to why LPD wouldn't work; if anyone has that answer I would like to know...thanks
Any chance of posting the Protocol you used to connect to your printer with your laptop? I'm have the exact same problem printing from my MB. Same error message "..is busy".
