PCL file - is possible to print it directly ?

Helle expert,
I'm receiving a pcl file from an external system.
With GUI_UPLOAD I import this file into SAP ( on spool ).
Now I want to print it. How can I do it ?
P.S. I tried simply print it but in the paper there's only the symbol : I mean that the
file is not decoded.
Tks a lot.

  • How to generate PCL files ?

    Hello,
    We are using PIB 5.6.3 within APPS 11.5.10.2 on RedHat Linux servers.
    For printing purpose but also for archiving, we need to generate physical PCL files.
    I read many posts on the subject and most of them advise to use ghostscript (GS) so I tried it but the result was not very good :
    - the PCL file are too big (3 or 4 times the corresponding PDF size) so it is not good for our archiving system
    - the generated PCL files cannot be correctly printed
    Maybe I am not calling correctly GS ?
    Can anyone working with BIP on APPS indicate to me how to generate correct and optimized PCL files in batch mode ? (with GS or any other tool)
    Thanks in advance
    K.Helali

    Hi
    GS is the recommendation fro development right now. They are going to release their own PDF to PCL driver in the near future but for now GS. There are many other customers using GS for PCL generation. I have not heard of customers using it as a format for archiving only printing so I guess size has not been an issue for them - just get it to the printer and delete the PCL after that!
    There might be some commercial product out there but I can not recommend any at the moment.

  • Crystal Report print to PCL file needs to contain searchable text

    Hi,
    I am using VS(2005) and Crystal Report XI R2 .net Service pack 4.  I need to be able to create a pcl file that contains text information on the first page that needs to be parsed and read by another application.  However, I am not able to use a generic/text only pcl driver to do this because the remainder of the report (page 2 on) needs to contain lines and table borders as if it were printed to paper from the printer.  The report/print to file driver I have configured will produce a pcl file that meets my requirements when I print from Crystal XI R2 but when I use either the .Net view or I print directly form code all of the text in the pcl file is contained in an image. 
    Any suggestions on ways I can resolve this issue are greatly appreciated.
    Greg

    The CR.NET uses the .NET Framework print service for sending the output to the printer itself, where the page is sent as an image.  There's no way to alter this behavior within CR.NET.
    This is problematic for your task, as well as for tasks that rely embedded fonts or text strings (such as phone dialers, faxes, printer fonts, etc).
    Whatever you do, you'd have to do outside of CR.NET

  • HT3669 I have an imac running OS10.6.8 and an Apple laserwriter 16/600PS.  Is it possible to connect these directly without networking?  Where can I find the printer driver?

    It turned out that WD is the big bad guy in this game.
    According the data rescue company where I asked for an inspection, both of the drives had their reader head loose. And in the one, which was my already-in-use disk its even damaged the platters... xxxxx
    So its time to pay bunch of money to recover, and take a walk to wd service to bang on the desk.
    Also note - it may be somehow related to intellispeed technology - since macs not really friendly with wd-s built-in solutions.
    On the other hand, with WD GP 1Tb there is no problems at all for ages.

  • Is it possible to print service order directly with PDF formular?

    does anybody know:

    Not possible directly..
    But you can call this tranzaction to convert to PDF  & print. For this you need development

  • Printing Pcl file

    Hi <br />I want to ammend the JMD so that the nojob prints out a pcl file that I am testing. I can print it using a command line paramater using "copy <filename> <printerserver/printername>"<br /><br />So i want to carry this out through central so i thought the nojob task i have looks like this, but it doesnt work. <br /><br />   !x JFNOJOB * * "copy @InFile \\printerserver\printername" *  <br /><br />Has anybody got any ideas to solve this? <br />I thought maybe a JFPrint task but there doesnt seem to be one. <br /><br />Cheers.

    Let me re-ask the same question, but maybe more clearer this time.
    I have a PCL file on a UNIX server.
    I need to be able to print the PCL file to an HP color LaserJet 5550 printer, using UNIX's "lp" command.
    The DNS Name of the printer is "oepljp1q".
    I am using PuTTY to issue the "lp" command.
    After issuing the "lp" command, I receive no error messages, so I believe, that the command was successful.
    I see no buttons on the printer, that would show me, if any jobs are queued up to be printed.
    I had my "lp" command monitored by our Performance Group, and the monitoring showed the IP set-up and tear-down of the session between the UNIX server with the PCL file and the printer, with packlets in between.
    Any idea, why the printer is not producing the desired paper output?

  • Cannot print PCL file with graphical content

    If I try to print a PCL file with graphical content using lp then the output is corrupt on a network printer. I've tracked the problem down to the netpr program - which seems to be performing some sort of filtering on the data. Does anyone know how the flags work for netpr - or know of a work around?

    Assuming you are running 10.10.2 and not the ancient 10.0.2, can you tell us what printer and printer driver you are using? How is the printer connected to the computer (network, usb)? See if you can delete the Reader preference files? Years ago I resetting the printer subsystem would sometimes cure a problem like this.

  • Is it possible to print a list of files bet specific dates in PSE7?

    I am trying to print a list of all the photos inc the shot date so I can check I have scrapbook layouts for all the photos in 2009.  I can organise the photos in date order using the thumbnail view but I can't sit there with my albums and check the layouts are in the correct order so would like a printout.  Can it be done in PSE7?

    You might want to look for an add-on for this.
    Although Firefox has a feature to export your bookmarks to an HTML file which you could view in Firefox and copy from or print as with any other web page, it only shows the descriptive text and not the website address, so I suspect that isn't going to be very useful.
    If you want to try to work with the built-in features, I suggest:
    (1) Export your bookmarks to an HTML file; save it in a convenient location such as your Desktop or My Documents. This article has the steps: [[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]]
    (2) Open that HTML file in Firefox as a web page. You can double-click it (if it has a .htm or .html extension), or drag and drop the file onto an open tab, or use the menu: tap the Alt key > File menu > Open File.
    (3) Locate the portion of the file you want to print, and select it. ''Do not print from Firefox because the selection printing generates needless blank pages.'' Instead, copy the selected bookmarks and paste into a blank word processing document or new email message to yourself. Then you can print from there.

  • Unable to receive dunning PCL file

    Hi Gurus,
    I have encountered a problem while trying to send the dunning data to our pritner, the PCL file has not been received successfully and here is the dunning log:
    From the dunning log it seems that the dunning letter has not been printed due to the frequency not reached, however, the customers have overdue invoices that already reached dunning lever 2. And I can see the dunning letter if I open the dunning history.
    Could somebody tell me what's the problem and how to fix it? Thanks.

  • Can not print report directly to printer.

    Hi,
    We are using Crystal Report Server for reporting in our project.
    The version we are using is Crystal Report Server XI R2 and Crystal Report Server XI R2 SP 2.
    Please kindly advice us on the following issues we faced:
    - Can not print report directly to printer.
      The print button on the Crystal Report Viewer prints the report to pdf and user have to click "Print" again in the pdf file. This is unusual and not convenient. As we have hundreds of reports to print, is there a way we can print the reporrt directly to printer?
    - "Set to Null"
      In the default interface of the Crystal Report View, there's is this "set to null" check box that we can not remove. Is there a way to do without it?
    Thank you,
    Kenny Tew

    Morning Kenny,
    The printer settings are in server management console. Additionally see what settings you have setup for the printer for the report in the server. If it is setup to use End User printer then check your End user machine settings and make sure the printer is setup as a default printer on his/her machine.
    Please let us know how you get along with the issue.
    As far as "Set to Null" I am not sure where it is set up. A screenshot of it might help understanding it better?
    Many thanks
    Regards
    Jehanzeb

    Is this issue on all computers or only one computer?
    I have just tested this on my colleague machine and it asks for default printer and not pdf however on mine I setup for pdf.

  • Print report directly to printer

    I am using Crystal Reports XI R2 to generate reports in Powerbuilder. I want to know whether it is possible to print the report directly to a printer without displaying it in the Crystal Report viewer?
    Thanks,
    Amol

    I have a very similar problem, not being able to print a report directly to the printer.
    But I am calling Crystal Reports v8.5 from VB6.  I have tried the  suggested code:
    report.PrintOut(prompt user, numberofCopy, collated, startpage, endpage)
    but get a "type mismatch" compiler error  with "PrintOut" highlighted when compiling, eventhough the inline help shows this method and matching arguments.
    I wonder if I have the correct DLL referenced.
    This report runs fine thru the preview window, but since this is a series of reports about 100 pages, don't really want the user to have to specify print dozens of times.
    Thanks,
    Gene

  • Is it possible to Print a PDF as a PDF in Acrobat 11.0.06 on Mac OSX 10.8.5?

    Is it possible to Print a PDF as a PDF in Acrobat 11.0.06 on Mac OSX 10.8.5?
    I need this functionality. Adobe PDF doesn't appear in the printer list as it did on my windows laptop. I need to be able to print to the PDF "size" of 8.5 by 11 to shrink files down for e-mail. My workflow usually goes like this:  I import all the pictures or create a PDF from multiple files (pictures), I then put them in order  and then print to PDF, two pictures to a page. I can take a 50MB file down to a 1MB file this way. Makes it easy to view on smartphones and the like.
    Is this functionality still broken in Acrobat 11? Did I just waste my money? This was the only reason I bought the latest version - It wouldn't work on 9 Pro either.
    Thanks,
    Jon

    Thanks Tony. That is exactly the functionality I am not getting from the current product on Mac. 
    You can get a much better looking result that takes up way less space and opens faster for the end user by printing a PDF as a PDF and controlling the size of the PDF image. I can take - for instance, 6 or 7  10MP pictures and create a PDF out of them. The PDF will be 25MB or so. I can print that as a PDF which will allow me to put two pictures per page  - and that file will be about 1 MB. No crappy looking images, just much smaller size and multiple images per page. 
    It's a workflow I have used for years on PC.  Everyone keeps saying just save it as a PDF using the Mac print "save as PDF" functionality but that doesn't accomplish the same thing and you can not control how many pages to print on to each new page of your PDF. 
    I find it misleading that I saw a web page on Adobe's site that shows you can print as a PDF and it says you can print as a PDF on Mac and that is NOT the case.  Print to PDF Windows 7, Vista, XP, Mac | Adobe Acrobat XI Infuriating.
    I have tried to optimize a PDF with 6 or 7 images and it just doesn't do the same thing. It wont reduce the size as much as I need, cuts it in half - but not down to a small fraction for being an e-mail attachment. I'm using XI Pro. Researched this for about 3 hours and it is not functionality that can be used on a Mac.
    I even tried printing as a PDF in Parallels on XP with another licensed version of Acrobat Pro and it still wont let you. You would have to probably dual boot your machine to get the functionality by running windows flat out on the Mac with a separate Licensed copy of the software.
    It amazes me that Adobe can't figure this out or make amends with Apple to get the functionality back into Acrobat.
