Recommended solution Web Printing?

Hi,
we plan on using Web Reporting - but we need to supply a decent solution for printing. Since we have reports with fixed layouts as well as reports for analysis purposes (no fixed layout) we want a solution for both cases.
Can you recommend the SAP BW general functionality or do you know / have experienced a software to find a solution?
Thanks in advance!
Angelika

Hi Angelika,
the solution which fits best to your needs, depends on the content of the Web Page.
If you only use Text-based Items like grid, filters etc. The printing How-to Paper of SAP will be enough.
But if you have mixed content like charts, images, own Text you will be forced to use a third party product. Here you have huge range of products, beginning with normal HTML-to-PDF Converters like Acrobat destiller, or ABC PDF. But you can also use Pixel Based solutions like Crystal Reports. For the Webreporting are also other solutions available like Cundus Print Manager and so.
We will also offering such a solution in the near future. You will find several Postings regarding this issue.
Web template entire page print ?
Best regards.

  • Hp smart web printing

    hi there,my hp deskjet d1660 works ok,but i have a problem.when i find a particular paragraph on a web page i click on select,Then drag the mouse to the picture,or paragraph.Then click clip,or print.The print box comes up,and i click print.The printer just puts out a blank paper.It worked fine the first 3,or4 times then every time i try to print a paragraph by going through the proper steps as obove the same result.The printer does not copy what i am trying to print.So I have to keep printing out the full amount of pages to print what i want.THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING BECAUSE INK IS VERY EXSPENSIVE!!!!  Why does my printer work the old way,but KEEPS GIVING ME A BLANK PAPER WHEN I USE THE "HP SMART WEB PRINTING??"Like I said my printer does work properly,but it won,t print when I click select,and drag my mouse then click "clip",and hit print.It just spits me out a blank paper.What can i do to fix this???Sincerely,Weatherwizard

    When you say the screen always appears, are you wanting the HP Smart Print to minimize so that you can't see it, do you want it only to appear on one tab and not all of them, or are you wanting to get rid of HP Smart Print all together?  
    I'll do my best to help you but I do not have Internet Explorer 8.  Also, what kind of computer are you using (ex. Windows 7, Windows XP, etc)? I hope I can help but I can not install IE8 right now since I am working with Smart Print and how it does not work at all on IE10.  I'm more than happy to help if I can. 
    Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.
    When a solution is found please mark the post that solves your issue.

    Have you tried installing it anyways and see what happens?

  • HP Smart Web Printing & Firefox 3.0.1

    Hi
    Just started experimenting with "Green Printing" solutions. Has anyone managed to get HP Smart Web Printing working with Firefox 3.0.1?
    Thanks

    I wonder if somebody from HP is monitoring this forum. It appears that hey are lacking as much responsiveness here as with their software.I just cannot believe that a multi billion company is so ...

  • HP Smart Web Printing 4.6 Error Message

    I am running Windows 7 Professional, 64 bit, and IE9.  I have downloaded and installed HP Smart Web Printing, Version 4.6, but it will not work.  The popup error message I get reads: "HP Smart Web Printing must be updated to run on this browser.  Would you like to check http://www.hp.com/go/swp/4_6_0_0/IE9/eng for a newer version?  When I click on Yes, the webpage displays a message that the webpage cannot be found: "Sorry, we can't find that page."
    Anybody know how to fix whatever is causing V4.6 not to run?

  • HP Smart Web Printing and IE8

    Hi, I am trying to help some friends who have recently bought a new HP desktop and HP printer.
    We have set up both and can print from programs installed, thats no problem. When we try to print a page from IE8 nothing at all happens. We have the HP Smart Web Printing software installed, but there is no icon on the tool bar, and it does not seem to be off the side of the screen. We have tried downloading and installing the Smart Web printing software again, but still it fails to work.
    We have been on the internet looking for solutions including making sure that the box it ticked in IE8 which allows 3rd part add ons. And also looked in add on manager, but the Smart web add on does not appear on the list. In fact there are no add ons appearing?
    I would be very grateful for any assistance.
    Cheers

    In IE8 on the lowest toolbar, to the right hand side is a "tools" pull down. Click on it, then select "Explorer Bars", you should see one called "HP Smart Web Printing". If you do and it does not have a check by it, simply click on that option. An SWP toolbar should appear. If you do not have thswp line I would suspect an installation problem.

  • 'HP SMART WEB PRINTING -460'

    The updated  'Internet Explore 9' will not accept 'HP Smart Web Printing 460' and HP updates are not available to use on this version of the Internbet Explorer. Is there going to be one available soon ? 

    Hi lala
    Yes, smartpint it's compatible with Firefox.
    Are you trying to install smartprint from the HP webpage?
    What FF version do you have installed on your computer?

  • HP Smart Web Printing installed but no symbol in browser

    I just downloaded HP Smart Web Printing and it apparently installed itself (if I try installing it again I am told that it is already installed). When I try to use it I cannot find any appropriate symbol anywhere on the browser.
    QUESTION: Is there some other way to start HP Smart Web Printing if the symbol does not appear after installation (hot key, menu option, list of programs)?
    Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit DE, Internet Explorer 8 32-bit DE
    This question was solved.

    OK, I found out where the mysterious icon is hidden, thanks to a response given to Bonnie on January 19th 2010.
    In my case (IE8 German), I found that it is necessary to click the >> button at the end of the tool bar and that reveals additional icons, one of which is labeled "HP Smart Web Printing":

  • HP Smart Web Printing Breaks Firefox

    HP Smart Web Printing Breaks Firefox Navigation bar.
    OS: Windows 7
    Browser: FireFox 3.5.6
    Application: HP Smart Web Print Version 4.6
    After installing it basically broke the Firefox browser bar.
    Here is the FriendFeed Conversation

    As far as I’m concerned this is by far the most intrusive and inconsiderate update HP has every released. Be where – if I had to guess I would say that HP is using EDS to do it’s update/releases. I only say this because as someone who worked for EDS for 14 years, I can tell you they are used to telling their end user what they must have how they are going to get it instead of the other way around. This is one of the main reasons I left EDS in 1999. So do not trust HP anymore. Always make a restore point before you apply any updates and only apply update when they apply to you and the way you use your computer. I for one am going to turn off HP update notices because I don't even want to know about an update unless I have some problem I need to solve.
    System Info:
    OS: Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 32 bit (all current updates applied as of 01/15/2009).
    Browser: Firefox 3.5.7
    Problem Area: Firefox Add-ons
    Problem and Solution:
    Hp Update notified me an update for HP Smart Web Printing to version 4.60 is available. Because I like to keep my computer software up to date I clicked install, what a mistake. The first thing I noticed is that the Norton Toolbar 4.0 was missing in Firefox 3.5.7. Turned out it was BROKE and/or disables although Firefox showed it as being present and enabled it was not, along with other Add-ons for Firefox.
    Things I tried:
    1)      Exit and restarted FF (no effect) 
    2)      Disable HP Smart Web Printing and Restarted Firefox (Norton Toolbar reappeared but still was not working along with other Add-ons.
    Final Solution:
    1)      Uninstall HP Smart Web Printing (I check delete/no to save anything)
    2)      Ran System Restore and restored to the latest System Check Point which was before the 4.60 update was applied because Windows was prevented from or just didn't create an automatic restore point in order to undo the update.
    3)      Uninstall HP Smart Web Printing again and again I didn't save anything (Why? I have no idea but it appeared that even though the previous version of HP Smart Web Printing should be installed it seems that the 4.60 updates are applied to it so it’s the only way I could get Firefox and the other Add-ons working right) Norton Safe Web still doesn't work right and is a 100% dysfunctional.
    NOTE:
    All Firefox Add-ons seems to be working except Norton Safe Web function. The green tick mark no longer show up so you have no way of know if the site is Safe or not until you click on a link in Google search so Safe Web will check it which as far as I'm concerned diminishes the protection/function 100%. The only solution may be to uninstall Firefox and reinstall it, which at this time I've not done because I am still trying to find a way around it.

  • HP Smart Web Printing Software

    Is there a version of HP Smart Web Printing Software that will work with Internet Explorer 8.0? I upgraded from Internet Explorer 7.0 to 8.0 (using XP SP2), and my previous HP Web Site Add-On Version 2.15.7.0 was incompatible with IE 8.0, so I tried upgrading to HP Smart Web Printing Version 4.05. First I selected "Install Now" from the HP web site & thought the load was successful, but then I couldn't find it among installed programs on my PC. Then I selected "Download Only" from the web site, and ran the executable from my desktop, but it went into an uninstall mode and froze. I exited the program and selected the executable a 2nd time. It started to load but stopped, saying another install program was still in progress. I exited the program & rebooted the PC. I selected the executable for the 3rd time and the installation appeared to complete successfully. At least the application was listed among installed programs, but it does not appear anywhere on the IE toolbar, and I have not found any way to run the application. Is it even compatible with IE 8.0?

    I am having the same problem! I'm NOT glad to see that someone else is having trouble too! I had IE 6 & downloaded a free offer of Smartwebprinting. I loved it! Then I got a message that said I should upgrade to IE 8 so, of course, I did! Then I was told that smart web printing is NOT compatible with IE 8! AFTER I downloaded it not before! I was very angry! Then today I find an upgrade for smart web printing so it would be compatible with IE 8. I was happy again! But, alas, it will not work! It asked if I wanted to replace the program I already had. I said 'yes'. Then when it tried to install....it UN-installed! I have written to HP twice with NO response! so I did uninstall the program, then downloaded the supposedly 'upgraded' version of smart web printing again. I am unable to find the program anywhere, I only have the 'exe' program. I don't know what to do from here?? I'm ready to go back to IE 6!
    I've attached a screenshot of the SWP icon, so please check if you can see it. You may have to click on the '>>' button to see more buttons, and reveal the SWP button.
     @Ronalds: It's not compatible with Vista 64-bit according to the specs, but try to install it anyways and see if it works.

  • HP Smart Web Printing and Firefox

    Was able to update IE8 with Smart Web Printing, but not working in Firefox.  Will an update be available for Firefox? 

    I believe an updated version of SWP will be released that'll work with FF 3.x.x. However, there is no release date specified by HP.

  • HP Smart Web Printing (print is to small)

    How can I make the font / text size bigger? When I print a web page it's so small I can't read it. I have a HP Photosmart C8180   all-in-one printer. Help Please  :-(

    Problem "Smart Web Printing - Print too small"
    I have experienced the same problem on Windows 7 / IE8 with Photosmart C6280, but same problem apparently(?) not on other PC running Windows XP Pro / IE8 with same printer.
    Note: A clip ("cut" of a screen area) is NOT a piece of text, but an image, and "text" in the image is not directly editable.
    Solution (mine): After cutting the desired area select clip in the SWP window (green tack in upper left corner of clip), click 'Edit' (or right click in selected clip and 'Edit this clip...'). In window 'Edit clip' popping up, select clip by clicking it. Clip now marked "selected" by dashed line with green corners. Enlarge clip på dragging (left mouse button) lower right corner to right. Print page.

  • HP Smart Web Printing Window is Empty

    I just installed Version 4.6 under IE8 (under Windows 7 64-bit).  When I show the HP Smart Web Printing Window, it is empty with a white background (i.e. there is no selection tool).  I checked IE's add-ons and everything you would expect to be enabled is enabled:

    Per HP Support's recommendation, I unistalled and re-installed Smart Web printing and that resolved the problem.
