PRINT FORMAT issue

Hi ALL,
We have recently upgraded to ECC 6.0.
We are facing an issue with the print format. In the BG job, we have set the page format as 'X_65_132', but when it is creating the spool it is changing the format to X_65_255.
Please give your valuable suggestions on what could be the reason for this?

most probably this is an unicode issue.
/correction
my above statement is crap. it should be the printer setting which make this happen.
just try the proposal of the poster below.

Smartform -Network printer format Issue

Hi,
I can print fine using my YPCC default printer.
But When i do through network printer FORMAT is getting Disturbed( Values are printing in next line).How can we handle this? Do we need to do some driver program modifications?
Here are the parameters in Driver program

    ENDIF.
    ls_composer_param-tdnewid = space.
    ls_control_param-no_dialog = 'X'.

YOu need to modify the smartform not the driver program to print all lines the way you want by changing font size, reducing line length...etc..etc..
It's printing fine on the default PC printer, because, it uses windows printer driver to render the output, where as SAP network printer uses SAP printer driver to generate the printer commands, there's always difference in the output between the two drivers.

Reports 6 - Print Formatting Issues

If our default printer is 'HP Laser1' and we send a bitmap Reports 6 report to the previewer (where page 1 gets formatted so you can see it) and then change the printer from the previewer to 'Genicom Printer', page 1 will be formatted properly, but the remaining pages will be formatted with symbols. In addition, some reports are only printing half the page, leaving the right side blank (not accepting pagesize parameters).
What I'm looking for are instructions or documentation specific to setting up a printing environment where there are multiple printer types, but where reports may be printed on any printer. I have found information in Oracle documentation which alludes to usage of files containing lists of printers and associated fonts for translation or using the desttype parameter etc.
I think we can set up an environment that works, but there may be a better way. Has anyone had experiences along this line?

One thing you might do is this. Don't display the Title View in your reports. You can do this either by deleting the views from the Compound Layout or, within Edit Dashboard, by selecting only the view that contains the report. (Obviously, if your report has several view, you would need to choose the first route.)
Instead of the Title View, do this: In the Dashboard section which contains both reports, click on the "Rename" button. Type the name of that best illustrates both reports, check the "Display Section Heading" checkbox and click "OK."
Next, click the "Rename" button again and this time go in to the formatting section to format as required. (Note: After you check the checkbox, if you don't click "OK" right after, the check mark won't stick. So click "OK" and then go back in to do any formatting you wish.)
This method allows the user to collapse the section and still see what the section is about. This is good practice when you have several reports in one dashboard page. Even collapsing all the sections, you can see what is "inside" and expand the appropriate section.
HTH,

ICal printing/format issues

I can not get my iCal to print entirely on a single page (standard 8.5 x 11) OR in color. Under normal circumstances I would say it's my printer...but I have no issues at all printing my MS Office Calendar or anything else. Is anyone else having this issue? Any help would be REALLY appreciated. Thanks!

Where do I start - it was an easy but long winded process. Firstly when you plug your iPod in and start iTunes you have the option of just pressing "sync" at the bottom. Each time you sync this way the colours on the iPod remain the same not necessarily the same as in iCal but the same on the iPod. With the iPod plugged in go to the "info" tab and right down the bottom choose "Replace information on this iPod" and click the "calendars" checkbox. You will then see "Apply" on the bottom right. Click this and the iPod will just sync from your calendar. Each time you do this the colours change on the iPod. Repeat this process as many times as you wish until you get the colours the way you want them. When you have done this go to iCal and highlight the calendar you want to change the colour for then right click or hold ctrl and left click (if you have a single button mouse). Then "get info". In this tab you will see the colour for the calendar. Click to change it to the same colour as on your iPod. Do this for each of your calendars. Next time you sync your iPod on the main summary screen the colours should stay the same. Painful, I know but a work around non the less.

Microsoft Excel Mac Issues - Print Format

I have Microsoft Office Mac 2008 and just purchased Microsoft Office Mac2011.
There is a formatting issue with printing spreadsheets as Excel defaults to Portrait and 100% Scaling. I save the Excel worksheets formatted as Landscape and 60% Scaling in order to fit each worksheet on one page. However, when I then reopen a spreadsheet and attempt to print, Excel frequently defaults to Portrait and 100% scale, so the worksheet may then take four pages to print.
This is very frustrating and unprofessional when I send the spreadsheet to a third party. It appears as if I don't know how to format the Print function.
I spent more than an hour with Mac technical support, but they could not resolve the issue. We uninstalled Office, including all of the Libraries, several times, but the problem persists.
I hoped that Microsoft Office Mac 2011 would resolve the issue, but it is still a problem.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? Does anyone have a solution?
Thank you very much.

Print module issues

Hi,
for me there are three issues that are missing / should be improved with the print module:
The sharpening quality and setting options are still behind i.e. Qimage. Having in mind what Qimage is costing, it should be fairly ease for Adobe to reach the better Qimage output sharpening quality.
Soft proofing is still missing and should be added in the next major release at the latest.
There should be something like a loop view for the print layout screen. When using large format printer formats the rulers become extremely small that an exact positioning is almost impossible.
Looking forward to these, in the given priority.

The print resolution is no longer displayed making it difficult to decide if I need to modify the resolution prior to printing.
Why would you modify the resolution? One of the huge advantages of Lightroom is that you don't have to do things like this anymore. You simply choose the output resolution in the Print Job panel and Lightroom takes care of the rest. How (and why) exactly are modifying resolution?
As to your second question, I am getting a print preview when I turn it on in the printer driver. Although I would never use it, it is working here.
It might help to submit some system info and some printer info:

Crystal for VS 2010 - formatting issues in viewer (extra space) again

We're having the same problem as the one in this thread link:[Crystal 2008 for VS 2010 - Report formatting issues in viewer (extra space);. There's no resolution in the thread and it's been closed. I'm hoping that creating a new thread may cause someone to answer this problem.
We have a Windows App that we just converted to .NET 4.0 and updated the viewer to the Crystal Reports Viewer in VS 2010. When we open a report that has a large block of static text in paragraphs left-aligned the spacing around punctuation is awful - there's almost a tab's worth of space between the last letter and the period. U.S. looks like US. This happens both with reports that were created in VS2008 and ones that were created in VS2010. It is only a problem in the viewer's display - if we print to a printer or export to PDF the spacing around punctuation is fine. It's also not a problem on our development workstations which are running Windows 7, but is a problem on our test servers which are running Windows 2003 Server. I ran the modules tool and found that the version of usp10.dll does match what the previous thread said it should be and it's coming from the c:\program files\sap businessobjects\crystal reports for .net framework 4.0\common\sap businessobjects enterprise xi 4.0\win32_x86\ folder. On my development machine when I run the modules tool I notice that a second instance of usp10.dll is called which is the version installed with Windows 7. We've tried changing fonts but none of the ones we've tried (originally in Times New Roman, 12, tried Arial, Times and various sizes) have made a difference. We also tried changing the print options with no improvement. The only thing that makes it slightly better is full-alignment but our customer insists that it be left-aligned.

Re. the other thread. I never did receive a sample of the report to test with. Perhaps I can get one from you? I need you to ensure that the issue occurs with a "saved data" report. If it does, let me know if you can share it and I'll contact you via email. My comment in the other thread re. available time, priorities, etc., still applies. Also, just to be clear. Service Pack 2 for CRVS2010 is closed now. Thus if I am able to reproduce the issue the fix will be targeted for October \ November time frame - no guarantees though...

Print quality issues

Hello
We are having print quality issue when printing PDF's to our Canon iR C2880/C3380 UFR II. This was the most recent print driver from canons website which was download about 6 weeks ago. version 2.9. At one time we were having other pring quality issues and we changed from the post script driver to the ufr ii which solved the problem at the time.
This past saturday we upgrade the operating systems on the systems in question and they are now running windows 7 64 bit with service pack 1 installed. image 1 is the orignal pdf that was printed with a 3rd party pdf printer(PDF Xchange view version 2.5) image 2 is the same document that was printed using acrobat reader 10.1.2
the options for the print were pretty much identical between the program. Print as image was not selected. 1 thing to note with the acrobat when print as image was selected there was a slight improvement in the print quality.
Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Hi, nd a warm welcome to the forums!
Off the bat, it looks like maybe bad RAM/ROM in the Printer, or corrupt Font.
Can you have another Computer jook to it and print for a test?
Can you try Printing from Adobe Reader...
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
Can you in Preview, Save As a picture format for a test?

On the Wall Street Journal website, I am not able to print out of the print format. Never had a problem before with this.

I click on the print icon under an article in the Wall Street Journal. A new window opens with the article in print format. When I print, I get blank paginated pages equaling the length of the article. On the top left hand corner of the page will appear the title of the article; on the top right hand corner will appear the web address of the article; on the bottom left hand corner will appear the pagination; and on the bottom right hand corner will be the date and time of the printing. This is just how any article would print; the only difference being that I'm not getting the content of the article printed.
This has only started a couple of days ago. I do not have this issue with any other publication, yet this problem doesn't exist with other browsers.

I don't have a WSJ account to test... Here is some general advice:
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
This will open a window listing the site's cookies, which you can remove individually.
Then try reloading the page and logging back in. Does that help?

SSRS 2008 R2 why Link Report Print format different from parent?

Hi,
I have created a link report based on Report A.
In Report A I have set the print format to "LANDSCAPE", but the link report always appear in Portrait, any work around on this?
If this is one of the SSRS bugs, is that anyway I can disable the print button in Report Server?
Thanks

Hi SAMSUNG,
I can reproduce the issue in my local environment. As per my understanding, this scenario is caused by design.
In Reporting Services, Report server administrators have the option of disabling the print feature by setting the report server system property EnableClientPrinting to false. But this property will disable client-side printing for all reports managed by
the server. So if you want to hide the print icon in all reports, we can refer to the following document:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms155874(v=sql.105).aspx
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Converting files to PDF causing formatting issues.

Hello.
I am experiencing issues with converting an Excel file to a PDF and retaining its format. The first page converts fine, no formatting issue.But every page after that is shrinking the font and making the images smaller. This employee has tried to save the Excel file as a PDF and tried printing it through the Adobe print driver, but both are producing the same issue.
The troubleshooting steps I have taken to try to resolve this issue are below.
reinstall Adobe Acrobat
tried modifying the margins
tried a different machine
Cleaned the Temp folder
Any suggestions on a fix for this?

Hi Bill.
Thank you for the response. I tested what you have suggested and this did not work. When Adobe PDF printer is selected, it looks fine in the print preview, but once the Excel sheet has been processed, the format is not correct. I tested this also with printing a hard copy to a printer, still the formatting looks fine in the print preview. Once the file has been printed, it is not formatted the same. I have also removed the Adobe Driver and installed it again. Still doesn't work.
Any suggestions?

XI R2 To 3.1 Sp2 migration and report format issues

Hello,
is there a way to fix or troubleshoot report format issues after migrating to 3.1?
We have a heavy report that the format (the way the report looks) is very important. In crytal Reports 2008 sp2 the format is OK.
But from BOE CMC or from url reporting the report format have problems.
Thank you

Hi Ruhver,
Crystal Report documents are heavily dependant on the printer driver for formatting. If you design the report using a specific default driver than it will be dependant on that printer driver for formatting. When you publish it to Enterprise, the same printer driver may not exist so the report will be re-formated to fit the default driver on the server, or if no driver exists, it will use an internal method to format the report.
Try this as a test.
1) Open your report in the CR 2008 designer.
2) Click on the File/Page Setup.
3) Select the "No Printer" option. This tells the report to use this internal method to format the report
4) Save this document as "Title - No Printer"
5) Export it to Enterprise
6) Test this report again. Formatting should be identical in BOE vs CR.
Keep in mind that when you change the driver in step 3, the report in the designer will re-format. You may need to tweak the report again in order for the formatting to be as desired.
Test this out and if you require further assistance with this, I would suggest opening a message. This is a common issue and a support engineer could likely help you with this pretty easily.
Hope this helps,

Spool output format issue

Hi all,
I am facing an issue when I run one of my custom ALV reports in the background.
There is a one line gap between each line of the output when we check the spool content.
I tried to change the number of columns in the existing printer format to 1023
and also set the SAP spool system settings check box which is
'' SP01:Number of columns from list display from format"
Request your suggesions.

Hi,
What I was able to understand is that spool output cannot accomidate beyond 1023 characters.
I created a work writing the content on to Application server files.
Then created a new custom program which will download the application file content to Excel.
Regards,
Murthy
