SAP printer settings

Hello all,
I'd like to make the following settings: printing documents from SAP in format black text (black fonts) on white background.
Right now my SAP printers print white text on black background.
Could you please help me with this issue?
Thank you,
Noemi

Very strange that it happens on several printers (even on one!)
On what printer models did you try?
Do you use frontend printing?
Does it happen with abap list, sapscript, smart form, Adobe interactive form?
Did you try to print any Windows document from Windows?
Did you switch off the printer and switch on again?

Network printer sap printing settings

Hello,
I want to set the network printer on 4.7 oracle + unix system.
I am having only ip address of printer.
Can we do remote printing on network printer??????
If no then which printing is possible and how to do setting (Access Method & Device Attributes )

Hi Danniel,
Of course, you can assign an printer directly on OS. If you are working on Digital unix, you need to define the printer in "\etc\printcap" first. If you are working on HP-UX, you need to define the printer on "SAM" tool, as a first step. Then choose "L: Print locally via LP/LPR with signal" and write down printer name that you have defined in configuration file on operating system. By doing so you can define the printer.

Retrieve crystal report file print settings

I have crystal reports 10 report file, in which I edited the printer settings... collate and number of copies(2) and saved it.
now i want to print it from VB6. I am using a customized print dialog form (not using the common dialog control)
I want to get the collate and number of copies settings from the rpt file. how can I get those details. any API available?

Hello Sankar ,
as you refer to the legacy technology VB6 I recommend to post this query to the [Legacy Application Development SDKs|SAP Crystal Reports - Legacy SDKs; forum.
This forum is dedicated to topics related to legacy SDKs, including the Report Designer Component (RDC), OCX, VCL, and Crystal Reports Print Engine (CRPE).
It is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.
Also, all Legacy Application Development SDKs queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.
Thanks a lot,

Print settings for ALV report

I have a ALV report output with LINE-SIZE 1023. But when I try to execute the report in background the output row is not coming in one line but in 2 lines. When we run the report in background I gave the printer as 'LOCL' (local) and displayed in spool. In the PRINT SETTINGS I don't see FORMAT for 65 X 1023. Do I need to create one? If yes, how to create it? Or if there is any other way go get all the cloumns in one row of a ALV output.
Thank you.

Hi,
Change the font on the X_65_255 paper size :-
This tip was taken from the SAP-R3 mailing list, and is by Sheila Tichener.
If you need to use a large line-size to get all your data in I know the sap version of X_65_255 for hp laser jet 4 gives an unnecessarily small font . You can change it in SPAD (or copy to Y_65_255) as follows.
Example:
Choose Device formats, Change
hplj4
x_65_255
Execute
Double click on printer initialisation
Change from:-
# select Courier 16.67 CPI normal font
e(s0p16.67h0s0b4099T
to:-
# select arial 24 cpi 15 point normal
e(s0p24h15v0s0b16602T
Also bold as follows:-
# select arial 24 cpi 15 point bold
e(s0p24h15v0s3b16602T
Also the error you get when changing a format in the output screen is only a warning and can be overidden by pressing the green tick.
If the sap standard formats don't fit your requirements you can create your own eg Y_65_170 . It seems to be the numbers in the name that somehow triggers which one the abap chooses

Printer settings problem

A postscript printer driver is installed in Mac OS 10.4.8. Some printing settings have been saved as a preset and make it as default. When a Indesign file or Adobe applications file is printed to that postscript printer,I should press "printer" button to ensure the preset is selected and then print the file.Otherwise, those print settings stored as preset will not be applied. I tried to print other files, e.g Microsoft Word file, no such problem occurs.
Any ideas on it?
Regards,
Vincent

Printer Settings

Hello Experts,
Currently we are having problems with printer settings. When we are using the LOCL printer, the Ukranian characters get displayed (PDF, SMARTFORM printing and print preview - only minor overlapping of characters in PDF). However when we use other printers let say P616 for example the characters can't be detected.. it displays sharp (#) characters and we also having some issues with bakcground printing in LOCL and not in other printers.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Printing Ignores Print Settings

Our mac seems to be ignoring printing settings and preset settings. We keep a black ink only fast draft setting for normal printing because it is fast and saves ink. However, all applications seem to be defaulting to High Quality, Photo Paper, Full Color, regardless of what is selected in presets. We have to select another preset, and then reselect our draft preset for the changes to stick in the print window. Then, sometimes the application will print according to our settings, and other apps just print in high quality full color anyway. This is a real time and money waster. Any suggestions?

SAP Printer Set to Double Sided on the printer itself

Hi,
I need your expertise concerning a printing Scenario. The Scenario is that the physical printer is set to print double sided on the printer itself i.e. a duplex tray was recently installed. Hence all documents from Microsoft and SAP prints double sided.
We need to print certain document on one side on the SAP.
Transaction SPAD have an option for changing The 'Print Mode' to "S SIMPLEX: Print on one side" but this does not work.
Does anyone have an Idea how this can be achieved without changing the physical printer to print using single sided.
Thanks
NF

Hi NF,
I hope you have Installed and configured the same Printer on the Server or Workstation, where you are currently working on.
Then go to the OS i.e., Windows Level:
Start> Settings>Control Panel--> Click on Printers and Faxes
Then check the Printer, which has been configured and Right Click On Properties,
and Click on Printing Preferences and Click on Finishing Tab.
Then you can able to see..the Document options, there you need to Deselect the Option of "Printing on Both Sides" .
Then fire the Print From the SAP...Now you can observe that you are printing Single sidedly without any issues.
Check this out...and let me know the response.
I am sure it will solve your issue.
Cheers!!

SAP Printing using Berkeley Protocol

Dear All,
I am very new to SAP. I wanted to know about the settings required for SAP printing using Berkeley protocol.
We have SAP server (which is running in a remote place), client (in our work location) and a printer (in our work location). All are connected to through the same network.
1. Consider SAP Server IP is IP_X and name is Name_X
2. Consider SAP client IP is IP_Y and name is Name_Y
3. Consider printer IP is IP_Z and name is Name_Z
Can any one of you can tell me how to configure the settings so the SAP printing from SAP client is possble through Berkely protocol.
Also, please tell me what all are the pre-requisite required for the settings.

Sathya

Hi,
I have tried using the standard LB_ZEB2 device driver and this problem is now solved.

Safari doesn't remember print settings

hi all
i'm using safari 1.3.2 under panther, & i want to print a bunch of web pages with a layout of 2 pages of text per printed page. this works fine when i use the layout feature in the print dialog box, but the problem is that i have to do this every time. how can i get safari to remember my previous print settings? or is this possible?
thanks in advance for any suggestions/comments!
brian

Hi Brian,
I'm not on my Mac at the moment, but if memory serves, I believe after making the necessary customisation with regards to layout, paper handling, you can click on the 'presets' field and save your particular scheme for use in the future. I'm not sure if you can specify a user-created scheme as default but I'd imagine it's possible as well.
I hope Tiger and Panther are similar at least in that respect. All the best!

Any way to override default printer settings into a PDF

Hi -- I work for a large organization that has lots of computers and printers and prints a lot of forms and documents. We are moving towards more digitization of documents and records including printing forms as needed as opposed to having large sets of forms onhand. This should save us a lot of time and money once complete as these forms often change and the old process would be to then trash much of these documents and re-print for just one change. The majority of our printers do have letter & legal trays as well as duplex support, however due to the vast number of users the default printer settings tied to each user and/or computer may be slightly different. While standardizing all the printer settings across all users/computers would be one solution, we don't anticipate doing this as depending on the job peformed the different settings may be more preferable / advantageous for that user.
As such the other solution I can think of is to hardcode the specific printer settings needed to correctly print a large document into that PDF file which may differ from that computer's print settings. For example, the default computer print settings may be to print on just 1 side but duplex would be encoded / scripted directly into the PDF so IRREGARDLESS of the computer/printer settings this document would always print duplexed.
Is there anyway to do this? I would need to do more than just duplexing -- ie some form sets would need to be both duplexed and 'fit to printable area' whereas some would need to be only on one page and 'shrunk to printable area', etc, etc. Our current practice is to insert a 1 page coversheet at the front of each document with the printer settings that need to be used for that form set, however this has been difficult for some users to do and has caused unnecessary time with our IT troubleshooting form printing.
-Brandon

Hi Brandon,
You can use the Print Presets in Acrobat for that purpose. Please follow the steps below:
1. Open the PDF in Acrobat
2. Open Document Properties dialog (using Ctrl + D)
3. Select the "Advanced" tab
4. In the "Print dialog Presets" section, you can choose DuplexMode as well as Page Scaling for this document.
Please let us know if this works for you
Thanks,

How to retrieve print settings from .rpt file?

I want to get the collate and number of copies settings from the rpt file. how can I get those details. any API available?

Hi Samkar,
It will look something like this:
crReport.SelectPrinter "pscript5.dll", "HP LaserJet 8150 Series PS", "LPT1"
crReport.PaperOrientation = crPO
crReport.PaperSize = crPSS
crReport.PaperSource = crPSR
crReport.PrinterDuplex = crPRDPDefault
crReport.PaperSource = crPRBinEnvelope
Depending on the version you have depends on if the function is available. It may be that 10 did not h ave the Papersource member.
Thanks again

How to transfer printer settings from one Mac to another (both OSX)?

Hello, I have not found a detailed description on how to transfer printer settings from one Mac to another.
My issue is that I have a Mac G5 with 3 different settings saved as "presets" for the same printer. This works great, since the posters I print (on the large format printer) need different margins and different paper at times.
This G5 is basically retired and only used for printing. G5 has OSX 10.3.9
I have a MacPro as its replacement (OSX 10.4.11).
The MacPro has all my apps and other settings setup to my liking.
I found several links via Google saying copy this folder or directory, but I am not sure I did it correctly. I don't see the "presets".
I tried launching the Migration Assistant (I hope that's the correct name), but was concerned the settings on the new MacPro would be overwritten with ALL the old stuff on the older G5. I did not start the transfer process because of this.
If someone would list the steps needed to accomplish the transfer of printer settings or advise if this is possible, then I would be very grateful! The previous user of the G5 I am using was a "Genius" and I don't know how he created these "preset" choices.
Thanks!

Hi SCChelpdesk, and a warm welcome to the forums!
I found several links via Google saying copy this folder or directory, but I am not sure I did it correctly. I don't see the "presets".
This is the File that holds that info on Tiger, not certain on Panther...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.print.custompresets.plist
After moving, you very well might have to change the Owner's Permissions within Get Info window, then log out/in.
I tried launching the Migration Assistant (I hope that's the correct name), but was concerned the settings on the new MacPro would be overwritten with ALL the old stuff on the older G5. I did not start the transfer process because of this.
MA would transfer the info, but/and, if the user that had that info had the same Shortname as on the new one, it'll demand you give it a new Shortname to use... but then those settings would be transferred to that new user on the new machine. I think the 1st one will work though.
The previous user of the G5 I am using was a "Genius" and I don't know how he created these "preset" choices.
We can go through that way if you like... not all that hard.

Don't have printer settings for Epson CX9400fax since upgrading to SL

I recently upgrade my operating system from Tiger to Snow Leopard (after a HD crash). I have an Epson CX9400fax all-in-one machine and I am able to print, but I no longer have the Printer Settings options as before - where you can change paper, ink, etc. I'm trying to print from Photoshop CS5, if that's relevant at all.
This is what I am looking for:
tons of options/setting to adjust
And this is what I have now:
basically just print.
Here's the driver info:
Is this something on Epson's end that hasn't been updated yet?
I've looked around, both here and online and haven't really got anywhere. If ANYONE can help, I will be very appreciative.
Oh, and I'm a first-timer so please be nice :0)

Hi,
Welcome to Apple Discussions. I had the same problem with my Epson printer and solved it by going to Apple Support [here|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4169]. You can rearrange your printer settings using CUPS from there. Also, click on the triangle to the right of the Printer Name window to get an expanded menu.
Good luck and a Merry Christmas.
