How to Printer device in madulepool

Question

Dear friends,
I have designed a screen with select options in madulepool and given a PRINT push button,
Ones I clicked on PRINT Push button then it need to ask the printer device ( Like our standard SAP functionality for print in tool bar).
the selected data should go to print for selected printer from device.
how to get it????
Thanks,

Hi,
Use the function module GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS.
Documentation for that is:
Functionality
The function module GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS is used to define, modify and display the print and archive parameters. Using this function module is the only correct way to modify a print or archive parameter record. The print parameters are closely related and contain a check total. This check total becomes invalid if any of the print parameters are changed and causes a runtime error when the print parameters are used later.
The required parameters are defined in the structure IN_PARAMETERS or IN_ARCHIVE_PARAMETERS. These input parameters must originate from another call of GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS or must be initial. The resulting print and archive parameters are returned with the function parameters OUT_PARAMETERS or OUT_ARCHIVE_PARAMETERS. The remaining IMPORT parameters, such as DESTINATION, LIST_NAME etc., are used to define the values to be passed to OUT_PARAMETERS or OUT_ARCHIVE_PARAMETERS. The output parameter VALID has the value BLANK in an interactive call if the user canceled the print screen.
You can use the function module with dialog (parameter NO_DIALOG = SPACE) or without dialog. If you use a dialog, a screen appears on which the user can change the print parameters.
Note: The "Print from page to page" option on the screen is not suitable for printing from ABAP programs, and is therefore not part of the structure PRI_PARAMS.
The module recognizes the following modes (values of parameter MODE):
'PARAM' Normal case. Define the print parameters for the
current program. The values that are not defined
are specified from the user master record or are
assigned default values. The print parameter screen
displays the PRINT key. This mode is used
if the MODE parameter is not specified.
'PARAMSEL' Like PARAMS, except that the print parameter screen
includes an option to activate the selection screen.
'BATCH' Define the print parameters for a background job.
In this mode, the name of the report to be started
is passed with the REPORT parameter.The REPORT
statement of the specified report is checked for
LINE-SIZE and LINE-COUNT definitions. These
definitions are passed as default specifications.
Furthermore, the SAVE key is offered
instead of the PRINT key in this mode.
'CURRENT' Define the current valid print parameters:
These parameters come from the following sources:
1.) From the user-specific print parameters
2.) From the LINECOUNT and LINESIZE additions in
the REPORT statement
3.) If the report is running in the background or
with Execute and Print, from the print parameters
passed from the report.
Otherwise it behaves as with PARAMSEL. In general, you should
set import parameter NO_DIALOG in this modus,
becausethis mode is only pointful, if it is run in the background.
'DEFVALS' Display for the default values.
Some of the default values are stored in the user defaults,
others can be maintained specifically for users and reports
using System -> List -> Print -> User-specific print
parameters.
The sytem returns the values for the current user and
report.
'DISPLAY' Displays the print parameters passed.
IMPORTANT:
In DEFVALS mode, the fields in out_parameters that are not contained in the user defaults are initial (type unknown). This means that the fields are not considered if out_parameters is passed again in a subsequent call of GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS.
In all other modes, all fields of out_parameters are filled with values (possibly default values). This means that the fields are considered if out_parameters is passed in a subsequent call of GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS.
You should normally query the value of VALID. It has the possible values TRUE and FALSE. If it is FALSE, the user has either canceled the print dialog, or the function module has been called with parameters that cannot be used to print properly (for example, printing in the background on a frontend printer).
Example
Normal definition of the print parameters
DATA: PARAMS LIKE PRI_PARAMS,
VALID TYPE C.
CALL FUNCTION 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'
EXPORTING DESTINATION = 'LT50'
IMPORTING OUT_PARAMETERS = PARAMS
VALID = VALID.
IF VALID <> SPACE.
NEW-PAGE PRINT ON PARAMETERS PARAMS.
ENDIF.
Definition of the parameters for printing and archiving
DATA: PRI_PARAMS LIKE PRI_PARAMS,
ARC_PARAMS LIKE ARC_PARAMS,
VALID TYPE C.
CALL FUNCTION 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'
IMPORTING OUT_PARAMETERS = PRI_PARAMS
OUT_ARCHIVE_PARAMETERS = ARC_PARAMS
VALID = VALID.
IF VALID <> SPACE.
NEW-PAGE PRINT ON PARAMETERS PRI_PARAMS
ARCHIVE PARAMETERS ARC_PARAMS.
ENDIF.
Definition of the parameters for a background job
DATA: PARAMS LIKE PRI_PARAMS,
VALID TYPE C.
CALL FUNCTION 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'
EXPORTING MODE = 'BATCH'
REPORT = 'MYREPORT'
IMPORTING OUT_PARAMETERS = PARAMS
VALID = VALID.
IF VALID <> SPACE.
CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN' .... EXPORTING JOBCOUNT ...
SUBMIT MYREPORT VIA JOB 'MY_JOB' NUMBER JOBCOUNT
TO SAP-SPOOL WITHOUT SPOOL DYNPRO
SPOOL PARAMTERS PARAMS.
CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_CLOSE' ...
ENDIF.
Modifying the print parameters
CALL FUNCTION 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS' "Obtain print
EXPORTING NO_DIALOG = 'X' "parameters
IMPORTING OUT_PARAMETERS = PARAMS.
CALL FUNCTION 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS' "Modify print
EXPORTING NO_DIALOG = 'X' "parameters
IN_PARAMETERS = PARAMS
LIST_NAME = 'NEW-LIST'
IMPORTING OUT_PARAMETERS = PARAMS.
