Output - print

Hi!
We have set up the system so that the output will be triggered when saving the PO. For suppliers with no email we would like to print the PO on the local printer installed on the users computer. However, when we do that a system user (in our case WF-BATCH) gets involved. That user ends up in the spool requests list for that printer. Why not the user that created the PO? Is it possible to change this so that it is the user not the system user that handles the printout?
Sincerely
Anders

Anders,
We had exactly the same issue on a previous implementation. In essence by virtue of the user accessing the application via the web browser, it is not possible to trigger a 'local' spool request.
You have two options:
1) Ensure all of the printers are networked, and register each printer in SAP. You would then need to associate each user with their printer in the user master record. If you want local printing, this option is pretty undesirable as it places a huge burden on master data maintenance, however it works nicely if you have a central PO printing location for the entire organisation, or for individual business units.
2) Have the user manually print the POs. This can be done by transaction BBP_POC (Process Purchase Orders). The tricky thing is that you may not really want to give end users access to this t-code, and you also need to make sure that they don't simply print the shopping cart from BBPSC04 (shopping cart status) - this causes a nightmare at the invoice processing stage as vendors start quoting cart numbers and not PO numbers.
Neither situation is ideal, but SRM is intended as a centralised procurement solution requiring minimum input from end users - SAP intended that the more complex processing activities (e.g. PO printing) are done centrally. Only problem is, if your business processes don't fit with this model, it gets trickier.

Hi Freind,
I hope you are doing good.
Q1l:-
Are these printers really physically attached to your Ultra-* parallel port (/dev/ecpp0)?
and what device is "/dev/lp1"?
Answer:-
"/dev/lp1" which is printer "T" and "/dev/ecpp0" which is printer "Alis" are configured at OS level via "printmgr" on the same machine.
This machine hostname is "tprinter" which is a print server. It is connected physically to "CIMA6120 LINE PRINTER".
[what I meant is: what physical port is this printer attached to on the Solaris machine? is this a Ultra 5/10/60 machine? I don't recall the /dev/ecpp port
existing on any modern sun hardware]
"failed to open printer port" can mean:
Answer2:- It's is a 25 pin serial port cable connected to 25 pin parallel port of Optiplex GX100 machine. I installed solaris 10 x86 to make print server. as our CIMA6120 its not a network printer, and our company want to print reports from oracle application to this printer.
Q:-you have attached your printer to the wrong port?
Answer: it is connected to the correct port.
[again . . how do you know this or test this?]
Answer2:- it is connected at the rare panel of the machine on a 25-hole connector (bidirectional).
Q:-you have attached your printer to the right port, but are using the wrong name?
Answer: I think we could have Alias, not necessarily give the same printer name.
[what i was getting at here is that you think the printer is attached to the parallel port, but actually the cable
is actually attached to the wrong port. For example the serial port on those older machines will fit but in that case, if you configure the printer with ecpp
it's not pointing to the correct port]
Answer2:- I configured CIMA6120 with "/dev/lp1" port which was perfectly working, I print numerous pages with this configuration, Suddenly this error "moving-to-paused" occurred. as i said it is connected to the parallel port at the rare panel. Initially, I attempted and tried to configure this printer with "/dev/ecpp0" port which was not successful.
Q:-you have a bad or wrong cable?
Answer:- I have checked the cable it is good.
[how did you do the checking?]
Answer2:- I tested the cable by connecting to other printer and it printed. so no problem with the cable.
In the olden days when local printers like this was the norm, we'd do test like catting a file to the port and see if the printer lights
up or responds. Something like: cat /etc/hosts > /dev/ecpp0 (or /dev/lp1, or whatever the device is). Then observe if the printer seems to
receives anything, blinks, prints the host file. You are copying the file directly to the port outside of lp or other mechanism.
Answer2:- I agree there was some conflict among the ports internally, or some process may be running at the background, that is why though it shows the request waiting in the queue it was moving to pause for some reason. when I check the error by command "lpstat -t" it sez "device busy" in /dev/lp1" file.
Solution
============
After goggling some more I found a fix for this issue at http://fixunix.com/solaris/143011-unaccepted-printer.html
1, I tried to remove the printer from printmgr, cud not remove it.
2, try kill the entries that going to /dev/lp1 port to printer "T". could not do it
3, uncheck the default printer option via printmgr.
4, Add a new printer name "test" with /dev/ecpp0" and reproduce the issue "got the same error"
5, With the forum above it sez its a "bug" and the Bug ID: 6374608. here are the details of it:-
Synopsis: No /devices entry for line printer
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatab...bug_id=6374608
Workaround is to manually install the missing driver binding
entry, using the command:
update_drv -a -i '"lp"' ecpp
This workaround should create the missing /dev/lp* devices. And after
running it, you should find the following line in "prtconf -D" output:
lp, instance #0 (driver name: ecpp)
6, I unplug the serial cable from the printer and turnoff and replug the serial cable to the printer and turn on the printer, made sure printer is ""ONLINE".
7, I restart the Solaris machine and delete the newly created "Test" printer via printmgr.
7, I just gave the lp /etc/passwd and it printed.
Finally, I thank you for your time and suggest me your opinion on this solution please.
Regards,
MKY

Lightroom output prints are too light

I have to make 30-40 prints for a project and decided to try the Lightroom print module. The prints will be output from existing layered psd master files, most of which are in either a ProPhoto or Colormatch color space.
I imported a folder of master files into LR and opened one up in the print module. On the up side: I love the LR interface, the ease of going through the check list (seems easier and less confusing than the print box in photoshop), the ease of adding custom text (very handy for captions!), and I ESPECIALLY love checking the box to center the print and actually having it centered properly in the output print (unlike needing to monkey with the "left=" numbers or visually play with the location of the image on the page in the CS2 or CS3 print box). Its been a big pain for the last few years in CS2 to never quite have the darn thing centered when printing on my Epson 2200. I was thrilled that in LR the centering actually worked!
On the down side to printing in LR (and this is a BIG down): the prints are a good full stop lighter than the ones I print from CS2 or CS3. When printing from CS2 or CS3, with a profiled monitor and use of the proper printing profile, I get pretty close to WYSIWYG most of the time. I'm getting WYSIWYG in Lightroom (the output print DOES look like the monitor), but what I see in the print module window is a good full stop lighter than what my imported master files look like when opened and printed from photoshop. And the LR print comes out correspondingly lighter.
For final output printing of art or presentation prints, I generally will want to use a layered, polished, file that I have tinkered with in photoshop. LR still does not have enough features to do everything I need to create that kind of final print or delivery file.
So my question: why the mismatch between the appearance of a master file in CS2/CS3 and LR? Is there any way to correct this? I would love to use LR to output my prints, but as it is its not a good idea.
One last thing: I have been a big fan of PhotoKit Sharpener both for capture sharpening and for output sharpening. Is there a way to use it in a LR workflow? I'm particularly interested in using the output sharpener for prints, which is wonderful and has always done a great job.
Thanks for any feedback or insight.
Info background: I am using a dual 2GHz G5 PowerPC with 3.5 GB ram, running OS 10.4.10, using LR 1.1, as well as photoshop CS2 and CS3, printing with an Epson 2200.

Jeff et al:
I did as you advised, and imported another folder of layered master files into LR. The first folder that I imported I had used the "none" development preset. On the second imported folder I used the "Zeroed" preset as per your suggestion.
The first ones were too light, but the second ones were a significantly better match. I have to say the image as viewed in the LR window is very close, although still not identical, to the image as viewed in Photoshop. For some reason the LR has a slightly more yellow cast, while the original in Photoshop is a bit more magenta. I made two prints from the same image, one via LR and the other via Photoshop, and you can see the same respective yellow or magenta cast in the prints. The LR print is also slightly muddier (but only marginally).
I read on another thread started by John Vitollo called "Anyway to turn off 'Apply Auto Tone Adjustments' with Tiffs + PSDs?" that John was also having problems with PSDs appearing too light in LR. Lee Jay told him to turn off the "Apply Auto Tone Adjustments" in the Edit > Preferences > Presets (top box). I found that this option was enabled for all of the instances above, so my guess is that "Apply Auto Tone Adjustments" overrides "none" in the development module pull down menu during import... Don't know if this is something that needs to be fixed...?
In any case, given that I have successfully printed 10 images in Photoshop, for this particular project I will probably continue printing in PS so as to be able to match the tone and formatting. For future I will try to figure out printing in LR, but as of now I can't see any particular advantage to printing in the LR print module (except for the nice centering feature). When I imported and copied my layered master files into LR, it took a verrrrrry long time, and wasn't worth the time investment. Also am not sure what's causing this slight color shift, and don't want to invest in making a lot of prints till I can sort that out.
Any additional suggestions or comments are welcome.
Many thanks,

Reports 3/6i HTML Output Print problem

Hi!
I am using Reports 3 to generate HTML output but when I print this HTML output, it does not break at Oracle Reports Page break. It looks like the browser takes its default settings for margins. I am using IE 5.5.
I tried the following options
1. Using { page-break-after: always } option in 'After Page Value' of Report Escapes property (Report)
2. Changing margin settings of browser, but was not able to change them to 0.
I want to print the HTML report with page breaks where Oracle marks as Page Break.
If possible, Please do write me at [email protected]
Thanks,
Praveen Kumar

Praveen,
When you generate a HTML page in Reports, you are generating a single page document that is then intepretted by the browser. You are correct that when you then print this page from the browser then it will not necessarily break at the same point as the reports page breaks.
The only way to guarantee that you will get the same breaks is to use a different format. Most commonly people use PDF format when they want the printed page to match exactly what's on the screen. Alternatively you could include a link on the HTML rendition of the report that resubmits the report to the server but instructs the server to print the report directly.
Hope this helps,
Danny

How to define a purchase order output print view as my element

Dear all :
I have created a purchase order and want to print,but i found the details of print doc is not my requirements.So,I want to change it .I don't know where the path is .THKS
Brian

Hello Jianfeng,
The purchase order layout can be changed using the SAP script/Form. You need to identify what you need to put on the purchase order output also you can include the client's logo and other standard and constant details (tax number / registration number etc).
You have to give this requirement to the technical person (ABAPer). (S)he will make the changes in the script program and you need to assign this form to the PO printing program.
In standard SAP version, Form MENDRUK is available for Purchase order printing.
Once form is developed by the developer, you need to assign this form in customization,
SPRO--> Mat Managmenet --> Purchasing --> Messages --> Forms Layouts for messages --> Assign form and output program for purchase order.
Hope this helps.

Printing: The outputs print on a printer other than that specified on the u

We are using activity profile on the shipment to trigger outputs at different statuses set on the shipment document. In order to have the output trigger based on activity profile we need to have the timing for these output types set to 3. Now the outputs set in the activity profiles are proposed on the sales document the first time the document is saved by the user. The communication details for the outputs proposed have the details from the user data set in the user master (SU01) for the person who saved the sales document as the print parameters for the output is S (user parameters).
The issue is we want the system to print outputs proposed on the sales document to different printers. E.g. The bill of lading output on the shipment document is required by the shipment planner to provide the same to the truck drivers. However the documents like pick list are required by the loaders loading the packages in the warehouse. Hence the documents need to be printed in different printers. How do we achieve this when the outputs proposed at the time the sales document is saved have the print parameters form the user data of the user who created the document?

ABAP List Output Printing Error

Hi All,
I am facing a problem while printing the ABAP List Output. First Page is printing fine and from the second page its not printing. Where as in Standard reports everything is printing OK.
Thanks in Advance.
Best regards,

Hello Shahid,
For list printing: Add to affected reports with NEW-PAGE PRINT ON LAYOUT/ SUBMIT... TO SAP-SPOOL LAYOUT (print at list generation). For printing from list display, adjust REPORT width specification to force selection of the format and move format to SAP namespace (name "X....").
May be this can help you.

Print program for delivery output printing

Hi,
I need help with creating a custom smart form and print program for outbound delivery.
1. i want to know how to select data in my print program ? i mean how to i get the delivery number when the output type is executed.
2. What parameters are to be passed so that delivery opens as soon as the output type is processed.
Thank you.
Usha

Details of output triggered can be obtained from nast. By default structure nast is populated with the values when the print program is being processed. Field OBJKY is used for the delivery number; Application : V2
It could be enough to pass an internal table with item level details and an header structure. This more or less is dependent on the output desired.

I am using free "3 of 9 font" for Bar code in my template
Problem Occurrence Procedure
1) When i submit the Concurrent Program and Click the View Output Button
2) the out put looks good with Bar code and Text in Table Format.
3) when i assign a printer, while Concurrent Program Submission then the printer prints output with Junks Characters and no data in it.
4) if i save the PDF Output file in Desktop and give print then it prints Good with barcode and text in Table Format.
The main problem is when printer is assigned to the Concurrent Program while submission of Request then the Printer output is printing Junk Characters but through View Output Button in Request Window we get Barcode Output Good with data in it

Junk characters in output print. Is it related to User profile?

Hi friends,
My user generated Invoices using MRRL and generated output using MR90.
Spool created for these invoices. But in the print, we are getting some lines with junk characters. It looks like chinese characters.
1. If I see the Spool print preview, still I see the junk characters. That means there is no problem with printer. And it should be a problem either with Output triggering or MR_PRINT form.
Important this is that, user facing this problem from yesterday only. Earlier to that everything was fine.
Are there any chances of this problem due to User profile?
In MIR4 transaction, in the Header output messages. I find in the Menu Edit -> Repeat output. But this is disabled for me. How to enable this?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
AK

Lesson learned: Always go and check SPAD (devices) if you face any printer issues. My issue was because the Basis has changed some settings in SPAD for LOCL device

Output - print
