Problem printing smartforms

hi,
my pc can print anything except smartform.
i can print from words, from sap, from anything, Except smartform from my SAP.
Please kindly advise because no one in my company know how to solve. -_-
thanks alot.

hi,
if ur pc can print pdf than use program 'RSTXPDF4'.
Execute this. it will ask for spool request. give that and save it in ur desired location.
othere way:
give the print command to ur SF.
Go to tcode spo1 or spo2. it will show u all generated spool request. double click on ur spool no.
u will come accross a new screen. give there ur office printer ip address like
10.48.434.21 or LOCL.
click on print icon there. it wil take u from 2 pop ups. continue with that. after some time another sap window will open automatically specifiying u abt ur test data.
now u can collect ur form print from the mentioned printer.
hope this will help u.

Problem printing smartform

Hello, everyone, thank you very much for the support I can provide. My problem is as follows:
I have developed a SmartForms at which define the window is
to 5 cm from the top but when I do physical printing the text included in the sale appears to the top margin 7.5 cm. The same happens with the left margin. In display mode appears correctly SmartForms.
The printer is an Epson FX-890, page format is a format Z.
The steps were performed following
1. Create the page format z
2. Create the form of editing and page formatting reference z.
3. Add the edit form z EPESCP9 device type.
4. Create and the reference printer device type EPESCP9.
What is the reason why time SmartForms design and display appear correctly but when I print the physical does not respect the margins defined at design time?
Thanks for the help.

Hi,
I met this problem several times - it usually is connected with output device drivers.
You can do:
- move SmartForms windows to get correct printout
- in SPAD change output device parameters (Output Attributes tab, Additional SAPscript and Smart Form information frame)
You probably have Print Preview correct
- You can also try to print on a different printer (or i.e. any local PDF printer) - printout should be correct.

Problem while printing smartform in dot matrix printer

Hi Experts,
When i am printing smartform using dot matrix printer only the last page prints but all the pages displays in print privew.
For example suppose there are three pages to be print 1/3, 2/3 , 3/3 , i get all the three pages in print privew as well as when i take its printout in laser printer i get all three pages as print, but when i am using dot matrix printer i get only the last page ie 3/3 as print.

Hai Varun,
If things are coming properly then its no more ABAP issue.
Need to check out with the BASIS team along with the IT / hardware department.
Just try to take print out on a other dotmatrix printer, if its somewhere close to you as usually they are heavy and large in size can't be moved.
Hope this helps,

Printing problem in Smartform

Hi All,
I am printing smartform in dot matrix printer so i have change my page format as per need but than also at right side of page, out put not coming.
So can anybody please tell me what change i should make for its proper working?
Thanks in advance....

Hi,
In smarform either in Attributes/Output options you have one option called left margin and Right margin. Set that option in smartform which works for entire form.
If you want only for one paragraph check out in the Styles. You can find the same option for each paragraph format.

Problem in Smartform Table/window Line Using Dot Matrix Printer

Dear Experts,
I faced issue in printing smartform using dot matrix printer. In the print result, the table line (horizontal and vertical) is not printed. I already search the forum but none can solve my issue. I already changed the table line width into 30 or 40 TW but still not work. Everything is OK in the print result, except the table line.
If i manually print/write '__' (underscore), it appear in the print result, but to write horizontal line and vertical line manually in the smartform will be huge effort.
I used device type EPESCP9 for the output device.
Can you tell me what i need to do?
your help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
Check your device type.

Error while printing smartforms

Hi Friends,
I am getting error "<b>Invalid value for parameter ARCHDEST</b>" while printing smartforms. This is happening only in IDES server. In Development the same smartform is working normally. I have checked in transaction SU53, to see whether all the authorisations have been given for IDES server. There is no problem in authorisation also. So what might be the reason for this. Please give me the solution to solve this problem.
Thanks & Regards,
Ranjith

Hi Beginner,
In the layout you have taken window or layout taken the big width in that case only you will get this type error syntatically it shows correct when you exicute the smart from try to give the print or see the print preview you will get this error (suggestion is better to check the window sizes)
Thanks

How to print Smartform in Draft mode.

HI all,
we are using Wipro LQ DSI 5232 printer, our problem is while printing smartform , its coming in Roman but it should come in Draft Mode.
When it goes to Roman mode the printing become very slow.
How to set in default Draft mode.
Regards,
Rahul.

Hi,
there is an SBO setting inside
Administation>System Init>Print preferences>Print Draft Watermark on Draft
Then a "DRAFT" watermark will appear if it's printed before adding.
In CR use a stored proc to get data back according to the Objectid@.
Then if its the object id of a draft then add a CR watermark.
Hope this helps.

HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-one problem printing. Ink System Failure has failed unable to copy--

I'm having a problem printing on my HP Photosmart C7280 All-In-One. The following message is what came up on the printer screen: Ink System Failure has failed unable to copy, receive faxes or print. Refer to printer documentation Error O.cl9a0007.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hey Spider! First off welcome to the forum.
I would recommend removing all the ink cartridges, unplugging the USB cable from the computer that connects to the printer, and then shutting the printer off completely by removing the power cord. Then restart your computer. Turn the printer back on but leave it disconnected from the computer. After it has finished its power on cycle go ahead and insert the ink cartridges back into the printer and be sure to seat them properly.
After you have all the cartridges back in the printer properly then connect it to the computer. See if this resolves the issue. If not post back with any findings.
Thanks,

Problem printing out to a parallelport printer

Hello, I am using the javax.comm.*; package and I am having problems
printing to the parallelport.
Well, it prints out the string but the problem is that the light for paper feed
starts blinking eventhough there is paper , once I click the paper feed button
the printer then prints out the string.
So, basically, everything is ok, apart from that I have to press the paper feed
button for each time I want to print something.
There is an error in my code somewhere, but as I am new to port communications I cannot understand what to do.
Below is my code, please help.
Thanks!
public void print(String s){
Enumeration ports;
CommPortIdentifier portId;
     try{
          portId = CommPortIdentifier.getPortIdentifier("LPT1");
         addPort(portId,s);
     }catch (NoSuchPortException e){
                 e.printStackTrace();
public static void addPort(CommPortIdentifier portId,String s){
     try{
          ParallelPort port = (ParallelPort)portId.open("LPT1",2000);
        /*port.notifyOnError(true);
        port.notifyOnBuffer(true);
        port.addEventListener(new ParallelPortEventListener(){
               public void parallelEvent(ParallelPortEvent ppe){
                       System.out.println(ppe.toString());
                       System.out.println("An event has occured");
          try{
               OutputStream os = port.getOutputStream();
               if(os == null){
                    System.out.println("Os is null");
               else{
                      os.write(s.getBytes());
               //os.flush();
          catch(Exception eis){
               eis.printStackTrace();
          port.close();
     catch(PortInUseException e){
          System.out.println(e.currentOwner);
          e.printStackTrace();
     catch(Exception ecl){
          ecl.printStackTrace();
}Of course this class imports :
import java.util.Enumeration;
import javax.comm.*;
import javax.comm.CommPort;
import javax.comm.CommPortIdentifier;
import javax.comm.ParallelPort;
import javax.comm.NoSuchPortException;
import javax.comm.PortInUseException;
import java.io.*;

Wow - I wonder how the OP thought that the
Developers Home > Developer Forums > Java Forums >
Java Mobility Forums > Consumer and Commerce >Consumer and Commerce General >
Forum was a correct choice for this problem??It's the same logic that leads one to believe that being new to port communications omits them from the responsibility of using general troubleshooting techniques to isolate/identify a problem.
This logic often leads to obscure questions also, sadly.

Possible solution for problems printing with ICC profiles - esp. R2400

(N.B. This is long because I've decided to go in to details about the background of the problem etc.. Also note that whilst my experience is with the Epson R2400, anyone with problems printing using ICC profiles in Aperture may find this post helpful, as will be explained further down the post.)
Ok, here's the situation. I've been an Aperture user for over a year, and an R2400 owner for half a year. In that time I have done a huge amount of experimenting, but I've never managed to get Aperture to work perfectly with Epson's 'premium' R2400 ICC profiles - the ones you can download from their site which are better than the ones provided 'in the box'. This hasn't been too big a deal because, in fact, the R2400 does a rather good job just set to 'System Managed' in Aperture and 'Epson Vivid' with a gamma of 1.8 in the printer driver. Nevertheless, it really annoyed me that something that should work wasn't, which is why I've spent a lot of time trying to figure out what's going on. Having said that, I have come across a method which will give you pretty good prints out of your Epson R2400 using the premium profiles in Aperture - it's not perfect, but it's the best you're going to get if you want to use those profiles in Aperture. I understand the words 'it's not perfect' aren't what photography experts would probably want to hear, however, I have seen a few anguished posts from R2400 owners in here before, so I think some people may find it useful.
The whole reason why Aperture is hopeless at using the R2400's premium profiles is because - unusually - their default rendering intent is set to 'relative colorimetric' rather than 'perceptual'. You might say 'but that's good - it means you get more accurate colours!', and if you do, you're right... however, there's a snag. To get an image to reproduce well using Epson's premium profiles and relative colorimetric rendering, you really need to use black point compensation. This is where the trouble lies: Aperture's black point compensation is diabolical to the point of being unusable when used with relative colorimetric rendering - I feel I need to be awarded compensation every time I've ever tempted to use the setting. So because BPC in Aperture is unusable, that effectively makes the premium profiles unusable too, because Aperture always uses the default rendering intent specified in the profile.
The solution? Use perceptual rendering instead. Ok, so you can't change the rendering intent in Aperture, which makes that sound a tad difficult. However, as I said in the above paragraph, Aperture always obeys the default rendering intent specified in the profile... so you can see where we're going with this: we need to change the ICC profiles' default rendering intent from 'relative colorimetric' to 'perceptual'. I did some digging around and found one or two expensive pieces of software that could do that... but then I found that, lo and behold, the Mac OS has a command-line utility which can do the job for us, for precisely £0.00. It's called SIPS or 'Scriptable Image Processing System', and you can find out some information about it here: http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn/tn2035.html#TNTAG58 For those who don't like reading technical jargon however, here's what you need to do to convert a profile's rendering intent. First go to terminal, then type in the following command:
sips -s renderingIntent perceptual
Do not press 'enter' yet. Instead, add a space after 'perceptual', find the ICC profile you want to modify, and click and drag it into the terminal window. You should then find that your command looks something like this:
sips -s renderingIntent perceptual /Users/yourname/folder/RandomProfile.ICC
At which point you can then press 'enter', and the command will execute, giving you an ICC profile which will now make Aperture use perceptual rendering.
There is just one further thing to be aware of after doing this: for some crazy reason, you then need to turn on BPC in Aperture for the prints to come out as good as possible. Black point compensation shouldn't make any difference when using perceptual rendering as the idea of perceptual is that it takes account of things like that anyway, however, in Aperture BPC does make a difference, so remember to turn it on to get a half decent print. In general, I find that prints made using this setup come out pretty well; they almost perfectly match prints made using the profiles with a perceptual intent in Photoshop Elements, except for the fact that Aperture blocks up the shadows a bit more than Photoshop. However, if you can live with that, you might find this is quite a workable solution.
Now, I said near the beginning of this post that all the above can apply to other printers too. Most printer profiles have 'perceptual' set as their default rendering intent, in which case everything I've just said won't be of much help. However, If you are reading this because you're having problems with ICC profiles in Aperture, but you don't use an Epson R2400, find your problematic ICC profile, double-click on it, and take a look at the window that opens: specifically, at the 'Rendering Intent' the window mentions. If it doesn't say 'Perceptual' then it may well be worth trying the steps I've outlined in this post to set it to perceptual, to see if doing so produces an improvement when using the profile in Aperture.
Finally, just one note of caution: if you decide to try out the steps I've detailed above on a paid-for custom-made profile, please back your profile up before messing with it. I haven't experienced any problems when using SIPS to change a profile's rendering intent, but I obviously can't guarantee that it won't do something weird and corrupt your expensive custom-made profile.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask, although (contrary to any impression I may give) I am not a colour-management expert; I'm just someone who doesn't give up when they have a problem that should be solvable.

Isn't there a way for you to do this via a Package/Procedure versus having multiple queries?
Per the BI Publisher guide,
Following are recommended guidelines for building data models:
Reduce the number of data sets or queries in your data model as much as possible. In general, the fewer data sets and queries you have, the faster your data model will run. While multiquery data models are often easier to understand, single-query data models tend to execute more quickly. It is important to understand that in parent-child queries, for every parent, the child query is executed.
You should only use multiquery data models in the following scenarios:
To perform functions that the query type, such as a SQL query, does not support directly.
To support complex views (for example, distributed queries or GROUP BY queries).
To simulate a view when you do not have or want to use a view.

Welcome to the forums Etow,
I saw your post about the issue you are having with printing from Google Chrome. Have you tried disabling your pop up blocker to see if that will help? Also see this guide about Printing with Chrome.
If the above does not help, try using Firefox or Internet Explorer to print.
Have a great Friday

Problems Printing to HP 2610 All-in-one

Hi Folks,
First off, I'm a Windows person so please don't assume I know the internals of OS-X very well (my wife is the Mac user, but is not the household "techie"). That said...
When we try to print documents to the HP 2610 All-in-one (USB connected directly to her G4), the print dialog comes up looking "almost" normal. The bottom of the print dialog only offers a "?", "Supplies.." and "Cancel" (but the left half of the cancel button is chopped off). "Send FAX Now" (greyed out) is also there. No print button! "Supplies" offers to sell me ink cartidges and "cancel" of course cancels the print job. Where is the "Print" button and how do I get it back?
System preferences, System Profiler shows the printer as available, the default, USB and running HP driver version 7.3.0 (the latest one HP offers and the one I installed after upgraging to OS-X 10.4.3) is 7.3.1). System Preferences, Printers also shows the printer as available and on a USB port.
I have tried printing from TextEdit, Office:X Word: Service Release 1 and AppleWorks 6 (6.2.2) and get the same messed up print dialog.
Oddly... the system has no problems printing to a Brother 1440 Laser (not defaulted) connected via USB to one of my Windows XP Pro systems. It can't print to it's direct connected USB HP 2610.
