SAP GUI 7.20 Printing Issues

Good afternoon,
We have been upgrading all of our users to the 7.20 GUI and have recently come across an issue that we would like some guidance on.
Using Transactions CC03/CC02 for example, the user is trying to print off a Business Document.  The the new GUI, the user does not have the print icon anymore; however a user with the 7.10 GUI still has the print icon.
The users are both using Windows 7 64-bit and MS Office 2010.  The only difference between their computers is the GUI.
We have loaded the "gui720_7-10007878.exe" onto a computer and still acquire the same results.  We have also tried using a 32-bit System with the same results.
I did find Note 1466621, but I'm not sure if this is the same issue.
Any assistance/guidance that could be provided would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Kristine

Hello Kristine
I tried with 7.10 and as far as I can see, the print icon is greyed out in the toolbar with patch 20.
What patchlevel had you been using in 7.10 that worked before?
Can you possibly upload a small screenshot of the issue for clarification please?

  • Configurations done at SAP gui level to print in duplex mode

    Hi Gurus,
    We had a requirement to convert a printer to duplex mode, we changed all the settings at SAP level( kept duplex mode in printing mode and changed device type to SWAN (as post and pre2 device types are not available) ). But still we are not able to get the desired duplex mode.
    Is there are any further settings or something done in server?
    Is there any settings done at SAP gui to get the print as duplex from a report?
    Thanks in advance....

  • SAP GUI 7.20 printing - unreadble symbols

    Hello,
    Recently we have uninstalled SAP GUI 7.10 and installed SAP GUI 7.20.
    Now we have a problem with printing from the new SAPGUI. We get unreadable symbols from the workstation with Russian localization.
    Earlier in SAPGUI 7.10 we resolved this problem simply by setting valid FontName  and Character Set in Font Substituion Opton in SAPLPD.
    But now SAPLPD uninstalled together with SAPGUI 7.10.
    How can we resolve the same problem in SAPGUI 7.20?

    Hello Igor,
    SAPLPD is not the recommended print engine for SAP printing anymore.
    Refer to the note 821519 for front-end printing
    [http://sap/support/notes/821519]
    Best Regards,

  • SAP Adobe Livecycle barcode printing issue

    SAP Adobe Livecycle: The Barcode printing using internal table: Even though the value is not there in the bar code field column of the internal table, for some reason it is printing the bar code for all lines. Does anyone know why?

    Iam not sure but this might be the problem .
    Please check if the barcode you have used has any default value set in the Form which is getting printed in case you dont have any value in the barcode field.
    thanks

  • DB2 Table locks after SAP Gui crashes

    Hi,
    I have a really annoying problem. Since my SAP Gui crashes sometimes, when I have nearly the limit of sessions open, I get serious problems with table locks in DB2.
    Background:
    When I run a program, which is updating/deleting/inserting data in SAP tables and the SAP Gui crashes, the table entries, which have been processed at that time get locked. So when SAP is then doing the roll back, the locks still exist!
    The SAP basis guys have restarted the system for me, when I got this problem before, but it's really annoying, when this happens again...
    I mean, of course the SAP gui shouldn't crash, but anyway the locks should be deleted by SAP during roll back, right?
    Does anybody know this problem and does anybody know how to solve it without restarting the machine?
    Many thanks!

    Hi Markus,
    true, the SAP Gui is also an issue I have to solve... But anyway the table lock should not occur.
    If you think about some other situations, where the process can be interrupted:
    - Calling a BAPI synchronous via RFC, which is updating/inserting/deleting table records
    - Windows bluescreen
    - etc....
    Whatever, it is really annoying to be in the need of restarting the system, when a process is going to be interrupted...
    Any ideas to this anyone?
    Thank you!

  • Errors with SAP GUI 7.10 issues with IE 7.0? and most curr patches?

    We are attempting to patch our SAP GUI 7.0 with the most recent GUI patches
    GUI patch 12
    BW patch 500
    BI patch 900
    we are applying these patches to correct the following
    >preview and printing of blank pages with web browser(ie 6.0)
    >german lang. toolbar appearing
    >missing active components when using analyzer (BW 3x)
    >BI rspc error 'x dump'
    these issues above have been corrected, however we are now having issues with this GUI and IE 7.0 , printing errors
    As anyone had these same issues above, and could you recommend on what patch combination (if any) have corrected them
    We have worked on this project for the last few months, to get the correct combination of patches that would not break anything else installed.  But, now we are finding that we may have issues with IE 7,0 and the SAP GUI with the above patches.
    Please advise
    Maria

    what happens on the desktops with IE 7.0 is that it looses printing capabilities.

  • Smart form printing issue with LOCL printer and SAP printer

    Hi,
    The issues are as follows:
    1. the top portion of the Invoice and PO does not print when using the SAP printer (works when using LOCL)
    2. the shaded areas of the Order Confirmation and Invoice are black when printing to a SAP printer (works when using LOCL)
    In an attempt to correct the printing issue is was suggested that we change the SAP printer device type from HPLJ4 to POST2. This did address the problem where the shaded areas were black but then we received reports that other reports printed "garbage". Its possible that using POST2 device type causes issues when printing to HP compatible printers.
    Apparently all the testing was done using the SAP printer LOCL and not the SAP printer name and SAP spool system. LOCL uses the SAP GUI and Windows system to produce the output. Our production users at the plant site and Toledo are using SAP defined printers with the device type of HPLJ4. HPLJ4 is our standard here as OC for our printer definitions and we have HP compatible printers installed in our Toledo location and all of our remote sites. We need to be able to correctly print the Invoices, Purchase Orders, Sales Order Confirmations on our SAP printers.
    What can be done to the reports to allow them to print on our HPLJ4?
    Thanks,
    Babu

    Hi Prathap,
    Check the background shading of the windows of the Smartform where you get the black boxes. If it is set something like this:
    Color: White
    Saturation: 100%
    this can be the problem.
    I know it is strange but some black and white printers cannot handle this setting. They only know one color black so the ignore the color setting and just take the saturation 100% setting.
    The reason it works with local and device type SAPWIN is that the print data is created in Windows and sent to the printer as graphic.
    Please change the shading for window MAIN -> tab 'Output Options' to:
    Color: Black
    Saturation: 0%
    and this should resolve the problem.
    Then create a new spool and check if the problem is resolved. See SAP Note #400050.

    Prabhu

  • SAP GUI with SNC logon and Hummingbird Exceed - SAP GUI window size issue

    We have discovered an issue when SAP GUI 7.10 is used to logon via SNC and Hummingbird Exceed is used on the same workstation to logon to a UNIX system either via x-windows or telnet.
    When the user logs onto a UNIX system using Hummingbird Exceed, then uses SAP GUI to logon to a SAP system with SNC authentication, the SAP GUI authentication works, but the favourites list is not fully displayed and has to be resized before any of the entries are available.
    Has anybody else seen this issue, and do they know if there is a fix available ? We wondered if there might be an issue with fonts or some other sort of conflict between Exceed and SAP GUI, but it is strange that the problem only occurs if SNC authentication is being used, and when userid+password is used to logon to SAP the problem does not occur.
    Cheers,
    Tim

    Hello Tim and Wolfgang,
    I was curious too as I found it interesting... so I tested a few combinations, but could not reproduce what Tim has described, at least not before my CPU reached 100% and the applications stopped responding (~2GHz processor, 1GB RAM, 48 kbps connection, latency ~ 2 x width of the Pacific Ocean, but Backend 7.00!).
    However I did notice some indications which might be a help (based on 7.00!):
    Back in 4.?? there was a problem in that large menus could not be searched(!). Sorry, I don't have access to SAP now, but from memory the note # was 444043 (or very similar) and introduced a form routine for large menus - from a printscreen I still have the message number which led me to the note - 'I476(S#)'.
    The system certainly distinguishes between MENU_TYPEs and the above note corrections could be found in several locations relating to the SAP menu 'S', the role menu 'A' etc, but I could only see that for favourites 'F' this is implemented for the menu search (when searching, not when loading).
    @ Tim: Ask you customer to create a favourites menu which only has 1 node or max 2 (certainly not more than 4!) and ~ 20 executable objects in it (not more than 30!)? Can they under any conditions achieve the described problem with such a menu?
    If not possible to reproduce, then the closest I could guess is a maximum limit of 4 nodes and max 30 objects for a 'F'avourite menu, before it is a minimum candidate for "performance problems" and consideration to be converted to a role ('A'ctivity group) menu instead.
    Sorry that I can only help by speculating, because I could not reproduce what you have described.
    Hopefully this problem will not happen to me in the New Year, and hope you will solve it for the rest of the year
    Cheers,
    Julius

  • Username and password issue in SAP GUI logon-Please help

    Hello,
    Usually I download the tx.sap file from my work system it downloads and opens the main screen directly.( password is disabled for us). Now when I connect from home(home system through VPN) ,i can download tx.sap file from my company's SAP web portal ,but when I open the same through SAP GUI on my system it pops up a password screen- the issue is my employee ID is already populated in the username tab, but when I provide my domain password (i tried all my passwords),it throws an error -you do not require a password, now when i try without a password it shows fill in all required entry fields. Please assist.

    If you enter just the username, the network is not sure which "AD Domain" to contact tp authenticate you as a user. So you need to specify the domain name in any of the below 2 formats. Give it a try.
    Format 1 - [email protected]
    Format 2 - DOMAIN\UserName
    Hope this helps.

  • SAP Gui 730 issue with crobu theme

    Hello Frineds, Our developer team is facing some strange issue. They are able using corbu theme in SAP GUI 720. but after the new SAP GUI 730 implementaion, they are not able to use this theme. Checked all the notes etc, but its not clear on themes part.  Any one faced this kind of issue or any suggestions. Thanks in advance. Regards Munish

    Hi Munish,
    Can you raise this in ABAP community ?
    Also, to help you further can you drill down to some more relevant information ?
    As far as one can understand, it's a rendering problem with SAP GUI 730.
    This can also be compatibility issue with your kernel and application.
    I would suggested you to check all above options.
