Printer Name by default

Here i want ask about how the printer name will get as default while taking print out.
I have maintained the condition record for Output and in which i have given printer name in communication , but still not able to get as deafult while taking printout.
Here my output type is against outbound delivery. when i am trying take print for outbound delivery system asks the printer name but i have already made a condition record for it.

Hi,
Default Printers are sst for Deliveries in the " Define Print Parameters for shipping" in the output control for Deliveries.
Transaction VP01 for SHIPPING
Further set the print parameter at "Shipping point "in the output types.
And ofcourse maintain the required printer in the conditionnrercord for the access sequence specified.
You need to check the above points for the default printer.

LookupPrintservices() gives default printer name alone...

Hello,
There are four printers in the network..operating system is LINUX ..when i run the program its showing only the default printer.
If i restart the cups service ,then its showing all the options.Why is it
so....
So each time when i open the application ,i have to restart the cups..Is this is right way?
Is there is any other optimistic way to show the printer options.
Following code
public static void main(String arg[])
     PrintService[] services = PrinterJob.lookupPrintServices();
     for(int i = 0 ;i < services.length;i++) {
     System.out.println(i+":"+services.getName());
PrinterJob printerJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
     if (printerJob.printDialog())
     System.out.println("Printer is There... ");
PrintService service = printerJob.getPrintService();
     System.out.println("printer Name = " +printerJob.getPrintService().getName());
Please help me to solve this....Urgent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK now it really doesn't make sense. Your code is exporting which has nothing to do with printing from the viewer...
So, create your own Print Button and handle the file name yourself then you can call it anything you want and it gets printed from the export file name. If that third party PDF printer driver has an API available then you could populate the name there.
Use your line of code: FileDest.DiskFileName = TextBox2.Text.ToString + " - Postage Report.pdf"
to set the file name for that PDF Printer.
Sorry it's really not clear what you are trying to do...

How to find windows default printer name

Hi Experts,
I have one requirement.....smartform should print in local default printer.
you might be known in windows we can set default printer name .
Suppose when the user executes my program, smartform should print in the default windows printer. not sap default printer. I tried by giving printer name as LOCL. In that case it is displaying pop-window by showing printer name. I don't want to see that pop-up window.
If I pass printer name in the smartform function module.. it is not displaying pop-up window and printing directly.
For this we need to findout what is the default printer of that particular system.
I think ... there will be method / FM to findout the front end default printer name...
Pls help me..
Thanks in advance

Hi Raghu,
Check the following tables to fetch the printer settings of a user.
TSPUSRSEL - Spool: User-Specific Settings
TSP03D Spool: Device Description (New Format)
So that you can use this detail and can fill the printer name.
Hope this will be useful.
Thanks,

Remove Printer Name from Crystal Report

How can i remove the printer name from the Crystal Report so that the PrinterName property of the CRAXDRT.Report object in the RDC SDK is blank WITHOUT having the "No Printer" Option checkbox checked?
Here's the scenerio. When I first create a Report and don't go into Page Setup, PrinterName property is blank. If I go into Page Setup and explicitly select a printer, PrinterName property equals the name of the printer selected. If I check the "No Printer" checkbox in Page Setup, PrinterName property is blank. But if i go back in and uncheck the "No Printer" checkbox in Page Setup, the PrinterName property equals the name of my Windows Default Printer.

I'm still not sure what is unclear about my first question. And I'm not sure how any of the info you are requesting is going to make any difference in answering my question. And I'm not sure how your analogy fits here but ..
Version of CR = 11.0.0.895
CR Service Packs applied = None
Web or Win app? = Win App
OS? = Windows XP Service Pack 3
Development language? = Both Visual Basic 6 and C#.Net 2008
Method of CR files deployment = email the .RPT file to a client
Where were the runtime files downloaded from? = Runtimes are installed from Merge Modules donwload from SAP site
What is the version of the craxdrt.dll on the deployed box? = 11.0.0.893
So here are the exact steps so you can understand what is going on:
I have the Crystal Reports Application open side-by-side with my Visual Basic development environment in debug mode so i can step through the code using the RDC SDK.
1. I open the Crystal Reports Application and create a brand new report - "Test.RPT" and DO NOT go into Page Setup at all and save the report.
2. In my Visual Basic development environment, i run the code that will generate the report, Here's the exact code
    Dim m_crApp As CRAXDRT.Application
    Dim m_crReport As CRAXDRT.Report
    Set m_crApp = New CRAXDRT.Application
    Set m_crReport = New CRAXDRT.Report
    Set m_crReport = m_crApp.OpenReport("Test.RPT")
3. When i look at the PrinterName property in the CRAXDRT.Report object, it is blank.
    ie. crReport.PrinterName is equal to ""
4. I reopen the Crystal Reports Application with report "Test.RPT" and go into Page Setup and check the "No Printer" option.
5. I go back into my Visual Basic development environment and rerun the code that will generate the report.
6. When i look at the PrinterName property in the CRAXDRT.Report object, it is still blank.
    ie. crReport.PrinterName is equal to ""
7. I reopen the Crystal Reports Application with report "Test.RPT" and go into Page Setup and uncheck the "No Printer" option. I have NOT specified any printer, nor have i clicked the "Printer..." button to setup a printer....i have just unchecked the "No Printer" option
8. I go back into my Visual Basic development environment and rerun the code that will generate the report.
9. When i look at the PrinterName property in the CRAXDRT.Report object, it is now set to my WINDOWS DEFAULT PRINTER, yet i had not specified any printer.
    ie. crReport.PrinterName is equal to "
MyNetwork\MyPrinter"
PROBLEMS:
1. The client needs the report to go to the default windows printer of their machine
2. If the "No Printer" Option is checked, the Report does not print at all
3. If the report is set to MY default windows printer and i give it to the client, at times it takes upwards of to a minute for the Print Dialog to disply. As i've read on other forum posts, it appears Crystal is looking for MY printer on the clients machine and takes a minute before i realizes it can't find it and then sets it to the CLIENTS default windows printer.
4. The client believes it is unreasonable to wait a minute for the print dialog to appear ...and i agree.
5. I cannot change the code to use the Select Printer in the RDC SDK - it's a long explanation why but just suffice it to say that i cannot do this.
All i want to do is either:
1. Remove the Printer Name in the actual report from the Crystal Reports designer - basically undoing what Crystal did when i went into Page Setup.
2. Via the RDC SDK, be able to detect the "No Printer" option is selected. Checkign CRAXDRT.PrinterName equal to "" is not an option.

Printing a smartform to a different printer than my default

I have a function module that gets passes a delivery number and the short-name of a printer. The function module is supposed to print a smartform (pick list) for that delivery to the specified printer. The problem is that no matter what I put in for the printer, it prints to my default printer. If I change it, it will go there. I'm sure I'm just missing some kind of setting. Here is what I got:
printer is the shortname for the printer i want, type RSPOPTYPE

How to find out the printer name for the Idoc

Hi guys
I want to find out the printer name for the Idoc,,some default printer is attached for one idoc,then how can we see the printer name for this idoc.

Hi,
For ALE/IDOC the medium will be either ALE or EDI but not printer.So it might be wrongly attached.As such there won't be any printer attached to idoc.

GR slip print-out & automatic default for the print tick

Hi,
I have followed the steps as outlined below for the solution and unfortunately the GRN document do not print as anticipated. I was wondering if the non-assignment of the MM or FI Program might be the cause? Please advice if I had missed something to allow this to print immediately.
1. Maintain the Printer Name in SPRO->Matl Mgmt->Inv Mgmt and Phy Inv->Print Control->Gen Settings->Printer Setting
2. Ensure that in SPRO->Matl Mgmt->Inv Mgmt and Phy Inv->Print Control->Gen Settings->Item Print Indicator, 1 stands for Matl Doc print out
3. In SPRO->Matl Mgmt->Inv Mgmt and Phy Inv->Print Control->Gen Settings->Print Version, maintain Print Version 2
4. In SPRO->Matl Mgmt->Inv Mgmt and Phy Inv->Print Control->Maintain Print Indicator for GI/Transfer Posting Documents
5. In SPRO->Matl Mgmt->Inv Mgmt and Phy Inv->Output Determination->Maintain Output Types, for the Output types WE01, WE02 and WE03, (for returns use WE03) ensure the foll:
a. Default Values: Dispatch Time is 3 or 4 as per reqmt. and Tr medium is 1
b. Print Parameter is 7
6. In SPRO->Matl Mgmt->Inv Mgmt and Phy Inv->Output Determination->Printer Det->Pr Det by Pl/StoLoc, maintain the Output device for all your Plants
7. Go to MN21, for Tr Type WE, Print Version 3, maintain Print Item as 1.
Now the settings are ready for Printing Material doc
8. While doing MIGO, ensure that in General Tab, you get "3 Collective Slip" beside the Print Indicator and you tick mark the field.
9. Now depending on the setting in 5a, the Matl doc is printed. If it is 3, you have to print it using MB90. If it is 4, it is printed immediately.

Your answer did help but still expriencing challanges with the following:
Output Types
-Print Parameters options are as follows
    >Plant/Storage location
    >Plant/Storage location/User group
    >User exit

Please advice which of the above is appropriate?
-Should there be a program reflected on change output field for General data screen?

How to printing oracle report by specific printer name on solaris?

When running reports
-http://host/reports/rwservlet?destype=PRINTER&desname=printername&desformat=dflt.prt&report=test.rdf&userid=test/test@TEST&MODE=CHARACTER
report with destype=printer desname=printername, the report fails with REP-50159 Executed successfully but there were some errors when distribute the output
if set default printer by add PRINTER=printername export PRINTER; in uiprint.txt
it can print to printer.
i found document id 394554.1 in metalink but it can't fix problem.
https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/f?p=130:14:342229662272785964::::p14_database_id,p14_docid,p14_show_header,p14_show_help,p14_black_frame,p14_font:NOT,394554.1,1,1,1,helvetica
To fix the problem, execute the following steps:
1. Take a backup of opmn.xml
2. Edit opmn.xml and include the path information of the new printer:
For In-process report server add the path information within <OC4J_BI_Forms>
Eg:
<process-type id="OC4J_BI_Forms" module-id="OC4J">
<environment>
<variable id="DISPLAY" value="localhost:0"/>
<variable id="LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
value="D:\Oracle\product\FRHome_1\lib32:D:\Oracle\product\FRHome_1\lib"/>
<variable id="PATH" value="//printserver;D:/Oracle/product/FRHome_1/bin;................./>
</environment>
Here //printserver is the network drive where is printer is installed.
For standalone report server add the path information within <reportservername>
Eg:
<ias-component id="standalonerepsvr01" status="enabled" id-matching="false">
<process-type id="ReportsServer" module-id="ReportsServices">
<process-set id="standalonerepsvr01" restart-on-death="true" numprocs="1">

<variable id="PATH" value="//printserver;D:/Oracle/product/FRHome_1/bin;........../>
</environment>
3. Reload opmn : opmnctl reload
4. Restart opmn: opmnctl stopall , opmnctl startall
5. Run the report with destype=printer and desname=newprintername
my config (solaris)

How to Solution?

Excel 2010 ignores print server's default color settings.

Excel 2010 ignores print server's default color settings.
Our Setup:
Printers are hosted on Server 2008 R2 Print Server.
Two local printers are created on the print server for each Xerox MFP that we have.   Example: Xerox MFP (B&W) - Default settings are set to print black and white only.    Xerox MFP
(Color) - Default settings are set to print color.     So for every MFP we have two printers are created.
Both variations of the network printers are deployed to the users with the Black and White version being the default.    If a user needs to print something in color, they select the Color version of the MFP printer.   This
helps us save on color toner costs.
This works great for web applications, Microsoft Word, Adobe Reader, and other applications.   But, it doesn't seem to work in Microsoft Excel 2007 or 2010.   Whatever the default printer is of the two versions that are deployed,
excel seems to hold onto those printer settings.
Example: If your default printer is Xerox MFP (B&W), when you select Xerox MFP (Color), it still retains the Black and White selection in the printer properties. However, if you select a completely different model printer such
as Fax, and then go to  Xerox MFP (Color), it will pick up the necessary default color settings.
If I install the printers locally on the user's PC/Computer, it works perfectly.   However, it doesn't work when they are utilizing the print server's printers.
Things that I have tried:
Different drivers for Xerox. Global, PS, PCL.
Different brands of printers.   Still experience the same issue.
Different port names.
Different protocols, raw versus LPR.
Different versions of excel, 2007 and 2010.
Looked through group policy to see if I could force it.
Checked the excel sheet settings, black and white only was not selected.
Tried most of the printer properties settings.
Created a Server 2012 print server and experienced the same result.
Xerox's custom configuration file editor.
*Something to note, if I have the black and white version utilize PostScript Drivers and the color version utilize PCL driver, it correctly loads the color settings.   However, if you utilize Postscript for both versions, it doesn't.
I have to vary the print drivers. Ideally, I don't want to have to do this because I want consistency between prints.

Hi,
Make sure you have the latest printer drivers - go to the manufacture's website, download and install if necessary.

Specify the output file path and print name when printing pages

hi,
how can i Specify the output pdf file path and print name when i am using the function PrintPagesSilent from AcroAVDoc Object.
My Code :-
Acrobat.AcroAVDoc doc = new Acrobat.AcroAVDoc();doc.Open(path,
"temp");

Dear Irosenth,
i try with different format (doc, docx, xls, jpg, bmp and txt) and it working successfully, but it give an random name for the file which saved in default folder for Adobe PDF print.
you can use the following function:
private void PrintPDF(string[] inputfilepath){
foreach (string path in inputfilepath){
Acrobat.
AcroAVDoc doc = new Acrobat.AcroAVDoc();doc.Open(path,
"temp");
Boolean v = doc.PrintPagesSilent(0, ((Acrobat.AcroPDDoc)(doc.GetPDDoc())).GetNumPages() - 1, 0, 0, 1);doc.Close(1);
and calling it by the following code:
PrintPDF(System.IO.Directory.GetFiles("c:\\t\\printjob"));
copy all files that you want to convert in side the mentioned path and run it program, then check the defualt print path for Adobe PDF printer.
test it and reply me. thanks again

HELP: SP01: Printer Name is Invalid

Hello SAP Friends/Gurus,
I am getting "The printer name is invalid" error message in SP01, when trying to print in SAP:
Windows/NT error 1801 [
<my machine name>\<my printer name>]: "The printer name is invalid."
The thing is, my machine and printer name are both correct. I even tried changing the settings of my printer (from its hostname to its IP address) in SPAD. My printer is directly connected to my computer.
Also, I could not print using LOCL.
Any suggestions on how to resolve this? Thank you very much in advance!
Best Regards,
Albert

Hai,
Are you using 'C' as your access method, check that.
This message indicates that the printer name is invalid or otherwise incorrect. Click on Start > Run, and enter the same UNC to see if the printer can be accessed manually. If attempting to set the printer as default, the printer name and the share name must match exactly same (case sensitive also).
Enter the UNC name of the printer (name and network path) as it is defined in the Microsoft Windows Print Manager.
For example:
P09330\P330

Invalid printer name error (-41002)

While I use 'Print Report.vi with new HP Deskjet 5443 printer (connected to the computer by USB and configured as a deafault) I get Invalid printer name error (-41002).
The application is working properly with other printers.
The "HP Deskjet 5400 Series" name appears in the printers list that was found by "Get Printers list.vi".
The printer is printing properly with Word, Excel and other applications.
I am working with Labview v8.00.

Hi Alex,
I have found a corrective action request in our R&D database that addresses this very error occurring, with HP-5940(USB) printers. I plan to add your feedback that it is happening for you as well with the HP 5443.
Have you tried going to the printers entry in the control panel, getting the printer name there, and then entering that as a string constant into Print Report.vi ? Also, you can try leaving the input terminal empty and it should use the default printer.
Let me know if either of these works for you.
