Printing using SAPSPRINT

Dear Experts,
in order to print from SAP via the SAPSPRINT service we must install Windows Servers.
The question is:
--> How many spools/hour can one SAPSPRINT service cover ?
--> How much CPU / Memory should be assigned to one SAPSPRINT service?
I understand that we should not direct ALL spools via one single SAPSPRINT service (stability)
Thanks a lot for all your help and input related to SAPSPRINT experiences!
Kind regards,
Marc

hi marc,
SAPsprint is not so stable. On my experience, we can rely on one or two SAPsprint server.
I do like to use SAPLPD than SAPSprint even though SAPLPD is already obsolete. It's more stable to print a lot of documents

  • PDF printing using SAPSPRINT

    We want to move from SAPLPD to SAPSPRINT shortly.
    At the moment some aspects are not working and I need your input.
    We have a printer that used to print PDF documents fine with SAPLPD however its failing with SAPSPRINT.  Does this mean that with SAPSPRINT, we are mandated to use SAPPDFSPRINT or would it still work with other PCL based printers.
    The printer in question is a HPLJ5SI printer using access method U on a print server with SAPSPRINT.  I reviewed SAP notes and found that we need to have a supported XDC file in order for PDF printing to work. I couldn't find one for HPLJ5SI within the list of XDC files supplied so I added the device type HPLJ5SI and gave default XDC name as hppcl5e.xdc however it doesn't work as it still says unknown device type.
    I tried tweaking other things to make it to work but no luck. Also once I add the missing device type to an existing PCL XDC in the XDC assignment, do i need to re-create the PDF form from scratch or would it be okay if I were to re-print a PDF spool thats already there. Just wanted to get test case right here.
    The error seem to indicate problem at the core so my question is do we need to switch to SAPPDFSPRINT and if this is our only option given that we will be migrating from SAPLPD to SAPSPRINT.Any pointers here are appreciated.

    Hello Kalyan,
    Please see note 1444342.
    "You want to print forms that were generated by ADS on printers that are not
    defined with a device type in accordance with Note 685571 (that is, they are not
    assigned to an XDC file). This was not previously possible. Due to the new
    component SAPPDFPRINT, interactive forms can be printed on any Windows printer
    just like all of the other spool requests with the SAPWIN device types."
    By using SAPPDFPRINT, you do not need to assign XDC file to device type. So it is a easy way to
    print PDF on any printer.
    If you want to use XDC file and device type other than PDF1 or PDFUC, please read note  685571.

  • Frontend printing using SAPsprint

    Currently we are using frontend printing using SAPlpd. This method is not recommended anymore and we have issues with it. So we would like to use SAPsprint instead.
    Here is a typical scenario:
    1- Web AS running on a UNIX box in location A
    2- SAP GUI on Windows XP in location B
    3- Print server running Windows 2003 server in location B
    My question is: where should we install SAPsprint? What needs to be changed on Web AS? Do we still need SAPlpd on Windows XP workstations?
    Cheers,
    Masoud

    Hello Masoud,
       Our implementation has SAPSprint running on our CI which then routes the job to our Windows print server that has all the printers defined and shared.  We do not have SAPSprint installed on each workstation.  SAPLPD will still run via the SAP GUI if the user selects the local print option which means that it will use the devices attached to that workstation directly.  The SAPLPD that is used locally is part of our GUI install and is valid to use in conjunction with SAPSprint (for server based printing).
    Example Output Device in SAP:
    DeviceAttributes Tab
    Device Type              ZHPLJ4 ZHPLJ4   : HP Laserjet 4 serie
    Spool Server             r3ciserver_P01_00                     
    Server Description                                           
    Host                     r3ciserver                            
    Device Class              Standard printer                   
    Access Method Tab
    Host Spool Access Method C C: Direct operating system
    Host printer            
    printserver\mis          ***Windows Print Server***     
    Host Name                r3ciserver                 ***Central Instance***      
    Hope that helps you some,

  • How to suppress extra form feed for character report printing using ORARRP?

    Dear All,
    We are using Oracle Application Server 10g (10.1.2.0.2) on Windows 2003 Server and most of our client PC's are Windows XP Professional machines. We are migrating our existing oracle application from 2-tier architecture to 3-tier architecture (6i to 10g). We have installed ORARRP utility for remote direct printing and to a limited extent we are successfull in getting the things work out for our system users, However, we are facing a problem using the ORARRP utility for which we are not able to find a solution till date.
    We have configured ORARRP utility on every user's PC and the printing of bitmap reports is working well. However, while printing CHARACTER reports using ORARRP utility, after the report gets printed, an EXTRA FORM FEED is issued by ORARRP to the printer and because of this the printer stationary skips one extra page and advances to the next page. Please note that this EXTRA FORM FEED happens only while printing a CHARACTER REPORT.
    Has anyone come across such a problem using ORARRP ? How can we avoid this extra FORM FEED from CHARACTER REPORT printing using ORARRP ? Is there any other tool which supports remote direct printing just like ORARRP?
    I shall be highly obliged if anyone could reply to my queries ASAP.
    Regards,
    KrishnaKumar S

    Please help ! I tried the "send_form_feed" and "postscript_dos_print" parameters without success. The extra form feed is always there. Thanks.

  • HP Deskjet 3550 cannot print using Airport Extreme via USB connection on Windows 7 64 bits

    Product Name and Number: HP Deskjet 3550 Inkjet Printer
    Operating System installed: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bits
    Error message: None
    Any changes made to your system before the issue occurred: Setting up HP printer using Airport Utility to add a new printer and installed Bonjour Print Wizard.
    Problem: My printer is already set up using Airport Utility. When I print something, the printer doesn't do anything. Is there something I haven't done lately in order to get this printer working using my wifi router?
    Suggestion #1: Are the print jobs getting stuck in the print queue? You can check this by clicking on the printer icon in your task tray by the clock.
    Error Message #1: Yes, the print job got stuck in the print queue, but the moment, it disappeared from the print queue and the printer doesn't print at all. This is frustrating.
    Suggestion #2: Does the printer work as expected if you connect it directly to the PC via USB?
    Error Message #2: Yes, the printer works if I connect it directly to my PC via USB, but I don't understand why it wouldn't work with the wifi router, though.
    Suggestion #3: This has to do with the way the router handles the connection to the printer. I found another thread, regarding this issue, and it has some information that may help resolve it.
    http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-Networking-and-Wireless/Print-Problem-Using -USB-Printer-on-Airp...
    If that does not help, I would recommend posting on the Apple forums, as they may have more expertise with the router's abilities:
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/wireless/airport
    Error Message #3: After clicking on the first link that you posted, it was very helpful, but the printer couldn't print completely and somehow it would stop at the quarter of a paper. It looks incomplete when I took it out from my printer. It does that every time.

    UPDATE!
    Problem solved!  So this is just a followup in case someone else ever stumbles into these boards with the same or similar problems as mine, that is, trying to run an HP Deskjet D1500 series printer [mine's a D1520] on an Airport Extreme wifi router's USB port as a network printer [with the Airport Extreme controlled by an ancient G4 PowerMac Quicksilver currently running OS X 10.4.11).
    Although it probably SHOULDN'T matter, since this type of printer works fine with just the Tricolor cartridge as shipped when hooked up directly to a computer's USB port, on a hunch I got a black HP cartridge (that's a type 21, not type 22 as I had earlier said), slapped it in, tried a test page, and all's well.  So, we can call off the technoid hounds.  Everything running perfectly.
    I hope this message in a bottle may help someone else out there some day soon who may be scratching his or her head with a similar stumper.  And just to recap those important Windows printer settings, they are:
    * [Printer Properties--> Ports--> Add New Port...] "Standard TCP/IP Port"
    * [Configure Port] IP Address "10.0.1.1" and Port "9100"
    Best of luck!

  • PhotoSmart 310a doesn't print using wireless connection

    First... I have to say that if I had known what a HUGE pain in the butt this printer was I would never have bought it.  On top of that, the thing apparently doesn't have an option to "hard wire" connect it to my computer... which the guy at the store didn't bother to point out.  On top of that HP's customer service is, apparently, non-existent, as attempts to reach by phone are useless.
    They can't even seem to get the model number on the machine where you can find it... so the instructions on "how to find your model number" are useless.
    That said... here is my problem... which if I can't fix, I'm simply returning this and getting something else.
    I have my printer all set up.  Wireless is set up.  ePrint is set up.  Test pages print fine.
    I have actually been successful printing with it ONE time.... so I know that it can do it.
    It does give me a "low signal" message - however it seems to have no problem printing using the email option, or downloading from the web for the "reports."   It scans and my laptop "sees" the scanned image, which is transmitted over the wireless network.   If it is truly a low signal problem it seems like it would have issues with other functions regarding the internet.  
    BUT... when I send something from my laptop (MacBook OSX 10.5.8) to the printer it says...
    .. connecting
    .. idle
    .. priinting (%)
    .. then the print job disappears from the queue in the dialog box ... yet nothing actually prints out.
    .. it then say's "Printer Ready" - I guess ready for another print job that it won't perform.
    .. It does NOT give any kind of error code... say it's "paused" or anything like that.  It's as if it THINKS it is printing... but it does not.  It makes no sound like it's trying to print either.  Paper is loaded in fine and it will print test pages with no problem and doesn't indicate any problems on those other than "low signal"
    ... When I use the "printer utility" to print a test page - also goes wireless - it prints just fine.
    I've tried to use this printer only 4 times now for various jobs... and each time has been an ordeal lasting from 30 minutes to several hours.    I've managed to get it to print on one occasion... though I can not remember how I did it.
    It has NO problem printing from an email... so I guess I could just always do it that way... but it involves several extra steps to do so and I'm not even sure it would work for every type of print job I need.
    It works fine scanning
    It works fine photocoping
    It works fine printing from ePrint (email)
    It just DOES not print via the wireless connection
    I don't understand how a company can make something this sophisticated and not have it give you an ERROR CODE when it fails to complete a function... and frankly, I'm fed up with this thing.  It's a big, oversized, shiny paperweight and I've wasted way too much of my time trying to figure it out.  This is one last ditch effort.
    Can anyone help?    THANKS so much if you can!
    Sue

    It is more likely a network problem, so please tell me about your network - router brand/model, encryption type (WEP, WPA, etc) and ISP type (DSL, Cable, etc).
    In the mean time, you could try this quick trick; resetting the printing system:
    - Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
    - Right (control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
    WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
    - Select the plus sign to re-add it. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.
    Oh, and indeed this printer does have a USB port for connection directly to your computer.  It does NOT have an Ethernet port for connection directly to your router.
    Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

  • Crystal report printing using epson dot matrix printer (continouos paper)

    Hi there, im tiff from the philippines.
    i have a  question on printing using a crystal report. How do i print using epson continuous printer(dot matrix)? im having a problem printing to that type of printer specially using continuous paper. the first page is correct but unfortunately the succeeding pages are not. its automatically adjusted upon reaching the second page. hope you can help me.
    thanks a lot and looking forward to hear from you soon.

    Check with the printer manufacturer that the matrix printer is Unicode compliant. If it is not, it will  not work with Crystal Reports. If it is, make sure you have the latest printer driver updates.

  • Label Printing Using Address Book - How can I Print multiple labels of the same name?

    Label Printing Using Address Book - How can I Print multiple labels of the same name?

    I used to be able to print multiple copies of the same picture on one page using iphoto. There was a customise button when you went through to print and it was there somewhere. I can't see it anymore - maybe since an upgrade.
    It's gone. But as a work-around, duplicate your photo (⌘D) to create as many versions as you want copies and select all at once. Then use the "Custom" print layout and set the photo size you want.
    After printing, trash the added versions.

    I want to print using only the black cartridge.  I'm out of color ink.  However, I see no option to print using black only.  Consequently, when I print a document, only the parts of it that are black with show up on the paper.  Anything that has another color will not appear on the page.  Is there a solution to this problem?

  • Can't print wirelessly with HP 7410 printer using Airport Extreme

    I've got 3 Macs (2 laptops, one desktop) that I was using successfully with my wireless HP 7410 all in one printer using my old Airport Base (snow) Station (822 b & g). Just upgraded for a variety of reasons to the new Airport Extreme Base station and I have NOT been able to get the printer to print wirelessly.
    I have tried all available normal methods, including, but not limited to:
    1) resetting and restarting the printer and computer
    2) installing new printer software, including driver
    3) deleting and reinstalling printers using the "print and fax" system preference
    4) using the printer on a non-secure network
    5) setting up the printer to connect via IPP and LPP
    The end result of all of this is that the printer is attached to the network, but the computer (any of the 3) cannot connect to the printer. When I run the HP setup assistant, it cannot "find" the printer.
    Everything was working perfectly before I "upgraded." Why am I not able to print with the new base station?
    Your help would be greatly appreciated.

    I have the same proble trying to print. I have a Mac and 2 PC laptops. I tried to print to three different printers and it will not work. I called Apple support and I was told that it was set up and configured correctly, that it ust be my firewall blocking the printer. I'm at a loss after $179.00 and three hours of trying to get it to work.

  • How to print from linux to Mac printer using cups - password?

    I think that I have done the correct things to share my printer from my OS X 10.4 Mac mini (my MacBook is happy to print on the Mac mini printer), and my Ubuntu Linux computer seems to be ready to print using cups. Linux can see the printer on Mac mini, but when I try to send a print job the Mac refuses access. I assume the problem is that the Linux computer needs to send the Mac a password, but I don't know how to do that -- where in the sequence of information coming from the Linux computer the password should be, what format, how to get the Linux computer to send the info through lpadmin or the GUI. All that.
    Can anyone help? Preferably with step-by-step instructions for the complete idiot. I have seen FAQs on printing, but there is no information about passwords. And most are focussed on smb rather than cups.

    I use linux and print through the Mac - but I don't have the trouble you are describing.
    There are 2 places to enable print sharing on Mac - have you done both of those?
    What protocol are you using - the easiest for CUPS is IPP (port 631). I have an Ubuntu computer at home - describe exactly how you add the printer and I'll be able to follow through.
