Printer change in PLD reports

We are on SAP B1 2005 PL50.
We have designed reports in PLD. While previewing reports using a different printer (other then the one used while designing these reports), the layout of the report on the preview/printout changes. It shows a line space after every row and also some of the the data fields are not aligned as per the design. However, while previewing the layout with the original printer used while designing, the report layout remains unchanged. We have changed the default printer on the page setup in design mode but still no effect.
Is there an another setting that we need to incorporate that does not destroy the layout of the report regardless of change in printer?
Thanks
Asif

Thanks Gordon.
The print preview is same when we use two different printers. However, when we use a third printer, the preview changes. The page setup and the print preferences are same. What surprises is that it creates a line space after every line data. For example, for two text fields/rows, a line space is created in between them when we preview using that printer. It remains the same for the other two printers.
Please advice

How can I print a PLD report by code?

Hi people!
How could I print a PLD report by code? or Is that possible to fill a PLD and print it?
For example: I want to print a invoice automatically by code. I did it clicking the printer button by code, but that's not the best way, because the printer dialog is opened.
Thanks
William

Hi Gordon,
How about a intervention on the printer dialog?
I'd like to trigger the printer event and choose the printer automatically.

Printer change of a recurring report

How do I change the printer on a recurring report? I have changed it in the printer setup on the process tab but it does not seem to pick up the change.

You'll have to configure the printer on the report template, and schedule the recurring anew.
Once the recurring schedule is kicked off, it retains the setting when it was started, and not any later changes you make to the template.

When using "Print Report" my default printer changes.

Hello,
I have the need to print two different kinds of reports to two different printers depending on which report it is. I use the Office toolkit and wire the correct printer for the report using the "Print Report" tool. However, each time I do this, it changes the default printer in Windows to the printer wired. I don't want to change the default printer just send the report to the specified printer. Is there a work around?

Hi The Q,
a workaround could be to read first which the default printer is, then print your page with the printer you want and then reset the stored printer to default. The information which printer is the default printer can be read from the registry.
Hope this helps.

How to print PLD report on A3 & A2 size papers

Hi,
I want to print the PLD Report on A3 size paper.

i selected the same paper type in SAP b1.
but it is not displaying properly.
normal A4Traversal it is showing.
plz help me asap.
Regards,
Nagababu

Hi Nagababu,
If you want to set the PLD Report to Print on a different (A3) size paper, Couple of things you may need to check.
The printer where you intend to print on A3 should be set as the printer in the PLD document properties. From the design mode of PLD, click on <b>Print layout designer on the top menu</b> and Click <b>Display Document Properties</b>
Go to Paper format Tab > Select the Printer which you want
Doing this will expose the different Paper formats available on this Printer.
Now, for the Paper format drop down select the A3 / whichever Paper format you want.

A/R invoice+payment and A/R invoice PLD reports

We are using PLD to generate our reports. Our A/R Invoice+payment report is different from our AR invoice. We have designed to report formats for this in PLD. However, PLD allows to preview only one report that has been made default. Is there an option that we can use to select the type of report to print especially for these reports?
Regards,
Asif

Hi
I don't think there is any alternative way beside selecting PLD everytime you print the layout .
I believe it is done by same person (both A/R+ payment and A/R invoice )
If not you can do :
1. make your PLD default by user or
2. In most cases ,only few customer pays right away , you can set PLD default by Business partner or customer who does that
Hope this helps

Hi,
You must add a DB type field in your PLD to retrieve the Text row.
Just follow these steps:
1. Add DB field into repetitive area of PLD
2. Select the new field
3. In the Field Properties form, select the Content tab
4. Source Type: Database (should already be selected)
5. Table: AR Invoices - Rows
6. Column: Text - Text
Save PLD and try it.

PLD Report does not show data from Query

Hello,
SAP b1 9.0 PL08 on MSSQL 2008 and I get data on the query, but when the PLD prints, it shows nothing. Is there a way to filter the data that the PLD shows? Does PLD have its own SQL script it uses b/c its not showing data from the query.
Thanks,
Nick

Hi,
Basically Crystal report run with SQL statement, I would suggest to do well performance tuning on SQL query / Store Procedure.
Structure your query in DBA manner that will make some how faster such as use ( inner join, less condition,...)..
also if it simple query then use Command in Crystal report rather store Procedure..that make some how Faster your report.
Thanks

Hi JasperNM,
You may access a card within the cart reader by mapping a network drive to access it, then you may transfer the fies to your Mac.
First locate the printer IP address as following:
Follow these steps to print a Wireless Network Test Report, the IP address will be listed within that report:
On the control panel, press the Setup button ( ).
Press the Right Arrow button ( ) to scroll to Network Setup , and then press the OK button.
Press the OK button to select Print Network Settings .
Press the Right Arrow button ( ) to scroll to Wireless Test Report , and then press the OK button. The Wireless Network Test Report prints.
Now map a network driver by following the steps below:
Click the Finder icon on your Mac.
Click the Go menu.
Click on Connect to Server.
In the Server Address field enter “smb://ipaddress of the printer” and click on Connect.
You will be prompted to enter the password. leave it as is and click on Connect.
The Memory card will be mounted as a disk in the Finder.
