How to configure print settings in smartforms

Hello friends,
    I was given a task to develop smart forms..everythign is working fine but i am left with following queires,
so far i ddint maintain any print related parameters,
i understand i need to work on three parameters now
1)CONTROL_PARAMETERS
2)   OUTPUT_OPTIONS
3) USER_SETTINGS
now i have seen other forms at our place and seen
in control parameters they pass
p_control-langu     = 'EN'.
p_control-no_dialog = 'X'.
in output
p_output-tddest     = 'LP05'.
p_output-tdnewid    = 'X'.
and for user_settings
user_settings = ' '
but
the same changes are giving me error....
can any one tell me why?
next if i remove them and give them at runtime i get no sort of problem..
so how i do give them with in program?
next what si the role of user_settings...
why is it ' '...
shud it be 'X'..
next when i give print parameters in DEVELOPMENT..
when i move it to QUALITY...(settings will remain same as DEV) will it cause problmes?(like may be in QUA p_output-tddest     = 'LP05'. needs to be modified?)..
any links,material to help me know more abt this issue wil be rewarded..
thnaks

How to transfer printer settings from one Mac to another (both OSX)?

Hello, I have not found a detailed description on how to transfer printer settings from one Mac to another.
My issue is that I have a Mac G5 with 3 different settings saved as "presets" for the same printer. This works great, since the posters I print (on the large format printer) need different margins and different paper at times.
This G5 is basically retired and only used for printing. G5 has OSX 10.3.9
I have a MacPro as its replacement (OSX 10.4.11).
The MacPro has all my apps and other settings setup to my liking.
I found several links via Google saying copy this folder or directory, but I am not sure I did it correctly. I don't see the "presets".
I tried launching the Migration Assistant (I hope that's the correct name), but was concerned the settings on the new MacPro would be overwritten with ALL the old stuff on the older G5. I did not start the transfer process because of this.
If someone would list the steps needed to accomplish the transfer of printer settings or advise if this is possible, then I would be very grateful! The previous user of the G5 I am using was a "Genius" and I don't know how he created these "preset" choices.
Thanks!

Hi SCChelpdesk, and a warm welcome to the forums!
I found several links via Google saying copy this folder or directory, but I am not sure I did it correctly. I don't see the "presets".
This is the File that holds that info on Tiger, not certain on Panther...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.print.custompresets.plist
After moving, you very well might have to change the Owner's Permissions within Get Info window, then log out/in.
I tried launching the Migration Assistant (I hope that's the correct name), but was concerned the settings on the new MacPro would be overwritten with ALL the old stuff on the older G5. I did not start the transfer process because of this.
MA would transfer the info, but/and, if the user that had that info had the same Shortname as on the new one, it'll demand you give it a new Shortname to use... but then those settings would be transferred to that new user on the new machine. I think the 1st one will work though.
The previous user of the G5 I am using was a "Genius" and I don't know how he created these "preset" choices.
We can go through that way if you like... not all that hard.

How to write print program for smartforms

Hi all
I need to develop new smartform and its print program.
But Im not experience in writing print program for smartform.
Ive gone through the simple print program sample that use only one table as input and one table for output.
But my smartforms require few tables for input and output.
How should I define the Data?
Can anyone guide me on how to write it.
Thanks & Regards

Create new smartforms call ZSMART
2. Define looping process for internal table
Pages and windows
First Page -> Header Window (Cursor at First Page then click Edit -> Node -> Create)
Here, you can specify your title and page numbering
&SFSY-PAGE& (Page 1) of &SFSY-FORMPAGES(Z4.0)& (Total Page)
Main windows -> TABLE -> DATA
In the Loop section, tick Internal table and fill in
ITAB1 (table in ABAP SMARTFORM calling function) INTO ITAB2
3. Define table in smartforms
Global settings :
Form interface
Variable name Type assignment Reference type
ITAB1 TYPE Table Structure
Global definitions
Variable name Type assignment Reference type
ITAB2 TYPE Table Structure
4. To display the data in the form
Make used of the Table Painter and declare the Line Type in Tabstrips Table
e.g. HD_GEN for printing header details,
IT_GEN for printing data details.
You have to specify the Line Type in your Text elements in the Tabstrips Output options.
Tick the New Line and specify the Line Type for outputting the data.
Declare your output fields in Text elements
Tabstrips - Output Options
For different fonts use this Style : IDWTCERTSTYLE
For Quantity or Amout you can used this variable &GS_ITAB-AMOUNT(12.2)&

How can i print data in smartforms from ABAP program.

Dear gurus:
in my abap program i process require data, and saved in a internal table.
how can l print the data in smartforms.?
who can give me a code sample is better:)
reward all helpful advise.

Try this....
1) Tcode --> SmartForms
2) Form name --> Z_SF_TEST Create
3) Under Global settings
a) Form Interface
    Table Tab
   ITAB LIKE EKPO
b) GLOBAL Definitions
WA_NETPR LIKE EKPO-NETPR
In smart forms if we want to display quantity and currency fields. We can't directly display currency field and quantity fields
For that we have to create an extra variable in global definitions
Ex: netpr FIELD of EKPO
CREATE program lines and specify WA_NETWR = itab-netpr.
4) RT CLick on main Window
   CREATE --> TABLE
Click Table painter
DEFAULT %LTYPE will be Created
a) If you want more like Header footer etc add by rt click on %LTYPE1
Table (Tab)
%LTYPE Radio(SELECT) 5 CM 5 CM 6 CM
CLICK on DATA (Tab)
INTERNAL TABLE ITAB LIKE ITAB
5)RT click on table control and create --> program lines
General attribute (Tab)
INPUT PARAMETER               OUTPUT PARAMETER
itab                               WA_NETPR
Code Area
WA_NETWR = ITAB-NETPR.
6) RT CLcick on table ctl and create 3 text to display the fields
a) % text1 +button(insert field)
   FIELD name &itab-ebeln&
Output options (tab)
Check New line   LINETYPE   %Ltype1
check new cell
b) % text2
   & itab-ebelp&
output options
check new cell
c) % text2
   & wa_netpr&
output options
check new cell
<b>Report ac
Tables ekpo.
Data: itab1 like ekpo occurs 0 with header line.
select * into table itab1 from ekpo.
Call function module --> smart form function module and pass your internal table</b>

How to get Print settings dialogue?

I have a Mac and a canon P9000 Mark 2 printer with Photoshop CS5. I can find no way to change the size or type of paper I am using. I know the print settings box has been removed from the file menu. I go to Print Settings at the color management menu and I get no choices, just a click to print or to PDF. No paper size, no paper choice etc. I have the most recent Canon Driver (dated 9/09, but according to Canon's download menu the most recent). This is really frustrating. How do I get the dialogue running correctly?

Look at FM 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAMECALL used to interface smartforms into abap
FUNCTION 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
EXPORTING
FORMNAME = '<form name>'
IMPORTING
FM_NAME = fm_name
EXCEPTIONS
NO_FORM = 1
NO_FUNCTION_MODULE = 2
OTHERS = 3.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

How to retrieve print settings from .rpt file?

I have crystal reports 10 report file, in which I edited the printer settings... collate and number of copies(2) and saved it.
now i want to print it from VB6. I am using a customized print dialog form (not using the common dialog control)
I want to get the collate and number of copies settings from the rpt file. how can I get those details. any API available?

Hi Samkar,
It will look something like this:
crReport.SelectPrinter "pscript5.dll", "HP LaserJet 8150 Series PS", "LPT1"
crReport.PaperOrientation = crPO
crReport.PaperSize = crPSS
crReport.PaperSource = crPSR
crReport.PrinterDuplex = crPRDPDefault
crReport.PaperSource = crPRBinEnvelope
Depending on the version you have depends on if the function is available. It may be that 10 did not h ave the Papersource member.
Thanks again
Don

How to set print settings

I have an Epson R260 printer and previously printed using photoshop Elements, with Elements managing the color. I am trying to figure out how to print using iPhoto.
When I choose a photo and click the print button, I get a box that has 4 presets: "Photo on Photo paper", "Photo on Photo Paper - Fine", and 2 more for matte paper. I pick the Photo on Photo Paper - Fine preset and click the Print button. This gives me another print dialog, again with a Presets drop-down, but now with "Standard" available and preselected. Should I re-select the "Photo on Photo Paper - Fine" option here? Or leave it at Standard? There also is an "Advanced" button, which allows me to choose Print Settings -- once more allowing me to select a paper type and print quality, as well as color management, where I can set what looks like parameters for the Epson print driver -- Mode (Epson Vivid is preselected, but Standard and Adobe RGB are other selections) and Gamma (1.8 is preselected, but 1.5 and 2.2 are available).
I've gone through 3 or 4 different tries at combinations and either get something rather garish, or too dark. Can someone help out?

Jim:
What I do is create a special setting for the printer while in PSE with the settings for the paper quailty and other items that you use for best prints and save with a custom name. Then go thru the print process in iPhoto selecting the printer and print size. Then in the last window you can select the custom setting that you developed earlier.
You'll be able to use those settings from any application.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

How to change printer settings from serverside?

Hello
I have an ActiveX component which when loaded from client side browser changes its printer settings that is orientation from portrait to landscape. But when user clicks on this "print this page" link, download ActiveX component message is displayed. If anybody can help, how to do from serverside (IBM WebSphere) so that these messages are not displayed & printer dialog box settings change to A4, Landscape.
Looking forward for an early reply.
Thanks

Though server is not connected to client side printer but when serverside script which is embeded in "Jsp" & when client(user) clicks on "print this page" link, script changes user browser settings to "portrait, a4" so there is no need to download ActiveX control which is sometimes diasbled in client browser or message is display to download that component.
I heard there is serverside script which removes all these disadvantages?
Looking forward for an early reply.

Hi,
Additionall, you may need to check the configuration of radius server on server 2012.
And you must make sure that the shared-key must be the same on both server and client side.
