Output Device prints 3 copies of each print out

Hi Frnds,
We are facing a problem with the output device.
When we try to print anything from SAP to an out put device, it gives us 3 copies of same printout.
We tried with smartforms, sap scripts and even a normal print request from the anywhere in SAP. For the particular output device it gives 3 printouts.
That output device is configured to a particular printer here in the user location.
We have also tried couple of other things,
Made that particulrt printer as the default one in our operating system (Windows) and printed using LOCL output device. It printed only one copy.
Made other printer as the default in Windows and then print using LOCL output device, now again it printed only one copy, to another printer.
Since it prints 3 copies of the same thing from anywhere in SAP with this op device, We think that there is no problem in Print programs or in Output condition configurations.
The spool that gets generated out of this request says "No. of copies" 1.
Not really sure where its going wrong. We think the problem is somewhere in Basis settings.
If any one has faced this kind of issue can u please let me know how we can rectify this?
Regards,
Karthick C

Hello,
Are you using Access Method G for the output?
If so you can check if the following setting was set:
set use_copies = N (where N = number of copies) in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SAP\SAPlpd\SAPLPD
Check the SAP note: 1149136 also.
Regards,
David

    Hello
    It looks like that you had not installed the ADS(Adobe Document server) for the PDF type reports. Please check with your basis team if you want to configure ADS.
    If you need the output as a sapscript then please do the sollowing steps:
    (1) Execute transaction SM30
    (2) Enter 'Table/View' as V_T5F99OCFT
    (3) Select 'Maintain' option.
    (4) Select 'New Entries' option from the Application Too
    (5) Enter following entries:
         Logical Form Name    = HR_IN_EPF12A_99M
         Form Variant         = (Leave this field blank)
         End Date             = 31.12.9999
         Start Date           = 01.01.1990
         Form Type            = SAP Script (SSC)
         Def. Type            = (This field should be checke
         PDF Form Name        = HR_IN_EPF12A_99M
         SAP Script Form Name = HR_IN_EPF12A_99M
         Smart Form Name      = (Leave this field blank)
    (6) Save the entries
    The above example I have given you is only for the form 12A.
    You have to make entries for all the reports sapscript in this table.
    Please goto SE71 -> F4 -> Payroll -> Payroll India here you will find
    all the sapscripts you require.

  • Output device - printing in unix file - where do I define the UNIX path?

    Hi,
    We use an special Output Device to print spool requests directly in Unix. These Output Devices are defined as Local Unix File. When those spool requests are printed, a file is created in certain path in UNIX.
    The question is where this link is defined?, I dont see where in the Output Device (trn SPAD) is defined the path in UNIX.
    Thanks!
    Aaron

    Hi,
    Might be the unix path would have been defined in the SPAD only under the Access method of the output device, in the field Destination host.

  • Output in print out format

    hi
       i have a problem.
       i am doing a alv report. the output of the report should be in print out format.
       is there any function module?
       tell me the complete step to solve my problem.
    thank u.

    Hi muthuktl  ,
    If you are using FM REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY to disply report then use REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY.
    or else when you execute the report in Grid Display format in menu bar -> List - >Print Preview it shows the List format you need not to change anything.
    Hope it ll be useful.

  • Getting output device information

    Hello,  hope I am putting it at the right forum.  first one and also newbie to SAP .
    Hope someone can tell me if there is a way to get the output device information using vbscript to connect and retrieve information.
    Been 2 days searching ,   may be I have found the bapiadprt which might be called but I am unable to use it after connecting myself from my vbs.
    I need to connect with vbscript (ok)
    I then need to collect all output devices (printer definition) and put them in a file.  short name, windows queue name, print server defined?
    any one can lead me where I can read on how to do this?
    Thanks
    André

    yes ,   I know there are these.
    TSP03 - Printer Declaration
    TSP03A - Device Description
    What I was looking for was maybe a bapi already created by SAP.   Either this or an object I could call from my vbscript that would contain these data.
    I mean , calling it with oBAPICtrl.GetSAPObject("Bapiadprt")
    If nothing exist then I will have to wait 2 months for my abap team to create the extract for me.
    this is why I am trying so much do get around that other process.
    Thanks again.   If really nothing to be done I will close the thread after your other reply.

  • Value not populating in the print out (sales order) for the 1st time

    Hi friends,
    While saving a sales order, the order confirmation going to the user is not populating the LDC field. LDC is Last date of change. This field can be found in the Additonal data 2 tab of the material in the sales order. When I enter a date in this field and save, the print preview of the output has this value, but the print out does not carry this value.
    Another weird thing about this issue is that, the second time i trigger the output, the print out has the value.
    Please give me some clue on where to check and how to go about fixing this problem.
    Regards,
    Shanu.

    Dear Shanu,
    This issue may be related bug in the output program so take help of ABAPer to fix the issue.
    I hope this will help you,

  • Output device not detected

    My Mac Air is in mute mode with no output device detected and I cannot move it out of that mode in system prefs.

  • 2012 Mac Mini - Using multi-output device?

    I'm trying to get my Mini to output sound over HDMI and the headphone jack. This question has been asked before, but the answer wrongly claimed OSX didn't support it. The Audio MIDI Setup program (in the Utilities folder) does in fact let you set up a multi-output device that uses the headphone and hdmi out. But when I try to output sound with that device, I don't get anything.
    Before I bought this computer, the Apple Store drone claimed this multi-output was possible. But this wouldn't be the first time I've talked to a complete idiot there.

    Some more updates:
    using multi-output and having the line out set as master prevents 5.1 surround from being output on HDMI, which is fine for my use. When I have something plugged into the headphone jack (in my case wireless outdoor speakers) the settings app won't even allow the settings app to choose HDMI as the audio output device, which is also likely why HDMI can't be master in the MIDI app.
    So to get 5.1 surround back for movies I need to unplug whatever's in the headphone jack and change the output device from the multi-output option to HDMI. It's sad my 6 year old PS3 handles this more elegantly and sensibly but at least I don't have to take back my Mini now

  • Invoice List print out multiple output devices

    Gurus
    I have a requirement where in I need the Invoice list to generate output to 2 different devices.....
    Here is my dillema, Invoice list program looks at the output device that is set up in the user defaults in the user area, SU3 transaction, Since only one output device can be used in that field I can generate Invoice list output to only one printer unless done manually that is not possible as the number of invoice list is huge.
    I am using ECC 5.0 , Does anybody have a solution for this???
    Thanks
    In advance

    The printer name can be defaulted from the output condition record, which I believe trumps the printer in the user's default.
    You could have two output condition types Z001 and Z002, both automatically proposed and each pointing to a different printer.

  • Photosmart C4580 "stuck" printing about 20 copies of each when I only asked for 1!

    Hi,
    I am baffled and I need to fix this problem soon!  I need my printer.  All of a sudden, my printer started printing about 20 copies of each item when I only asked for one!  This not only uses a lot of ink, but wastes a ton of time, for the little of time I have put up with it.  Lately, I have just shut it off.  Please - any suggestions??  I thought of uninstalling and reinstalling, but I can't find my disk!  Thank you,  Soly

    Did you ever find a solution for this problem? I have no problem printing the business cards out on a Canon printer, or a different HP printer I used to have, but the D110 is nothing but a pain in the you know what !  I'm using publisher and the avery 8371 card stock,  I searched solutions for days and did everything possible but still they're not printing correctly!! I'm dissapointed in this printer, every time I have a problem with something it always seems to be an HP product!!!  Very frustrating because I never had to mess with any settings in the other printers I had, I would just put the file in, change the quality and click the print button with no problems. I'm ready to throw this printer out the window Anyway thanks in advance and I hope somebody can help me with this issue !!!
