Unknown characters being displayed while Printing Bill of Lading(BOL)

Hello all,
From SAP 4.7D, while printing the output using SAP-script for Bill of Lading, some unknown characters(Eg: 10H0O0S0G), a combination of letters and numbers being printed in the begining and also in the bottom of the output document.
This is happening only in PRD enviroment and it works fine in DEV and QA instances.
The document gets printed in EPSON printer. Since this is not an issue in DEV and QA, I would assume that it has something to do with the printer.
If anybody experienced similar issues in the past OR know the reason for this particular issue, please address this one.
I would really appreciate the feedbacks and reward the points for the right solutions.
Many Thanks,
-G

Hi,
Is this problem is happenning only with Bill of lading? If that is the case, it should not be a problem with printer. If there is a problem with the printer driver it should affect the complete form itself.
If you want to test the printer driver, compare the device type maintained for the EPSON printer in both QA and Production.
Hope this helps you.

Sap script - Problem while printing Hungarian characters during Unicode

Reader 10.0 Printing Problem - Font changing while printing

Dear all,
can anybody help me on my printing problem with Adobe Reader 10.0 ?
While printing a pdf I cannot do anything else, it is not possible to touch the mouse
because when I do this, the font is changing while printing to something like grecian.
Can somebody help me on this ?
Reader 9 did not cause this problem.
Thanx and best Regards, Travelplan24

I have the same problem, but I didn't realize it could be set off by my working on another task. It is also triggered when the pdf has scientific notation, or a very extreme change in font and font size. E.g., text in boxes, algorithms, etc. seem to trigger the problem.
I have reinstalled my print driver (several times, latest on Sunday), and reinstalled Adobe Reader (now 10.0.1) but the problem remains.
Printer:
HP Officejet 6500 (E709n Series) wireless, now on USB.
Document properties: Most recent font conversion - yesterday:
Producer: Distiller 4.0.2 for Mac
PDF version: 1.3 (Acrobat 4.x)
Fonts: Helvetica-Neue, Type 1, Encoding: ANSI and Roman
The font is not converting into Greek. E.g. "Problem-Solving Process" became "Qspcrfm . Tpnwjoh!Qspdftt"' with the kerning overlapping characters.
The font 'conversion' has happened many, many times on a wide variety of pdf files in the past 6 months. Never had the problem before. I had downloaded new Reader, and purchased the new printer -- I do not know which change created the problem.
I will cease doing anything when I print as a temporary workaround, but that is not a good solution.
I sure hope you can figure out what the bug is. Thanks in advance.

Re: Increasing Column Header Length While Printing in ALV Grid

Hi
For some column headers in a report, the translations in Turkey are more than 40 characters, because of which while executing the report in TR language, the column header is getting truncated.
So, I would like to know if we can increase the column header length while printing the ALV Grid(OO ALV) output.
Or else, Is there any way where we can divide the column header into 2 rows.
Please let me know.
Thanks and Regards,
Vishwa.

Jose and Sivaram,
Thanks for replying.
The problem we have is with the column headers, there is a limit of 40 characters for the column header in ALV reports. So, increasing the outputlen also did not help.

Vishwa.

Problem while printing 132 col. report....

We have one report of width 132 columns. But when we print this report,
it prints only upto half width (Approx. upto 70 characters.)
We are using Reports 6i on Red Hat Linux server.
I tried to modify report width at developing time. But it is of no
use.
Which parameters needs to be changed to solve this problem?
Thanks...
Kiran.

Hello Abid,
I tried as you suggested. But problem is not solved.
But when I run this report in Windows environment, it prints ok. i.e. I am getting full width of report. What I notice here that while printing thru Windows, I am geeting 'US STD FANFOLD' paper size . But in Red Hat Linux (Advanced Sever 2.1) I am not getting this page size. SO I think if I have this page size in Red Hat then my problem may get solved. Have you any idea how can we get this page size in Red Hat ?
Thanks.... Kiran

Problem while printing in ukraine language using smart form

Overlapping characters displayed in spool for dunning in thai language

Hi Experts,
Our requirement is to create a dunning form for Thailand(displayed in thai language).
We have created a thai oriented printer(Thl1).We have also created a smart style and the font is helvetica(in order to display thai characters).
We have a problem when the spool is generated.The characters in the spool(both english and thai) appear overlapped.
What can be the reason for this?
My hunch is that since we are using helvetica font the spool is not generated properly.(ie spool cannot take helvetica font)
Since dunning is a sap standard program we cannot directly convert to otf format instead of generating a spool.
This problem has been bugging us for a long time.
Can any of the sap mates please suggest a solution for this?

This is a duplicate of

HP Laserjet 4250 - While Printing PDFs with Watermark, Prints images as scrambled

Hi,
I am using HP Laserjet 4250 printer. While Printing PDFs with Watermark, the printer prints images as scrambled. It prints the part of the image as scrambled which is overlapped by the Watermark. The other part of the image is printed fine. When seen on the screen, it shows up the image with the watermark properly. Could you please suggest how to arrive at a solution for this problem. Thanks in advance.

Hi @Sebastian43

Save to PDF in TextEdit - Error While Printing

When I try to save a text file to PDF I receive the error message - "Error while printing". This only seems to be happening to text files I open or create in TextEdit. It works fine if I log in as a different user. I've run repair permissions and also deleted a couple of com.apple.print plist files in my user library, but the error remains.
Is there anything else I should try short of reinstalling TextEdit?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
Rick

On OS X 10.8.2, with TextEdit, I can open or create text documents and export to PDF without any issue.
Here are the two preference tabs and settings that work for me. You can single click on the images for a larger version.
New Document
Open and Save
PDF documents on OS X are created with binary content, which is the junk you observe.

Automatic archiving FI invoices while printing

Hi guys !
I need to build an "archiving system" for FI documents.
The overall requirement is to archive all invoices in pdf format in external system (let's call it ES), and then link those documents to SAP FI module
My initial concept was to save PDF documents on physical hard drive, new documents would be triggered by ES, processed and the link is somehow sent to SAP and then linked to particular invoice.
Another approach would be to call WS on ES side, push document and receive a link in response.
Which solution is better? Maybe there is another approach to achieve given requirements?
What is more, is there any standard procedure to archive document, on physical drive or send, while printing invoice or it just require to create some custom enhancement in printing process?
And the most mysterious subject to me, how to link SAP invoice with external source and let SAP to display external document? Hope it is achievable with Archivelink, do you have some good source of tutorials on ArchiveLink ?
Unfortunately I have never occupied with Archiving module and I really need your piece of advice.
Greets,
Adam

Output Types
-Print Parameters options are as follows
    >Plant/Storage location
    >Plant/Storage location/User group
    >User exit
   >User parameters
   >User
Please advice which of the above is appropriate?
-Should there be a program reflected on change output field for General data screen?
Please advice since I'm currently experiencing shotdumps(runtime errors) when processing the GR.

Hi All,
I am using 9.3.1 version of hyperion planning were Web Analysis report is not coming with the border/logo/heading while printing with the option "print all object", Only the data grid is coming in the print. If I use "print screen" it is coming with border/logo/heading but it gives a screenshot of the report, that won't cater out need.
So please suggest us with a resolution to have border, logo and heading, while using Print all object.
Thanks with regards....

Hi Sagar,
In scripts when you will see print preview the logo will be not shown up with clarity.Take the print out of the document and check whether logo is printing up with clarity.

Error While Printing the Report

Post Author: saqib
CA Forum: .NET
HI All,I have joined this forum recently. I found this forum so helpful. I have one query which is: I am using crystal report 10 with Dot Net 1.1, I have created one web report which consists of 19 pages. Once i press the print button on the report after previewing it shows me the error reporting screen of windows. I have checked in event viewer it gives me the following error detail:The description for Event ID ( 1000 ) in Source ( Microsoft Internet Explorer ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. The following information is part of the event: iexplore.exe, 6.0.2800.1106, printcontrol.dll, 10.0.0.533, 0003bb45. Can any one helps me as i am totally stuck in that. Thanks in advance.

Try the following if your printer is a network printer
1. Add Printers - select Local Printer
2. In the Add Printer wizard, select "create a new port" option and select "TCP/IP" as type
3. Write the IP address of the network printer in the "Add standard TCP/IP Printer Port wizard". The port name becomes IP_<ip addr>. Click Next.
4. Select the printer and printer type in "Add Printer" wizard.
5. Select a driver and Write a printer name. This completes the setup. Use this printer name to print from Oracle reports.
Hope this helps..
Yogesh
