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.
Regards,
Sathya

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

Bursting : printing using LPD protocol?

Hi everyone,
I am having trouble sending my .pdf output to a printer and wondered if anyone has used LPD protocol instead of IPP. I am on 5.6.3 and read that it may be supported on this version. If anyone is using this, an example from your control file would be great!
Thanks
-CC

So... Is everyone out there using the ipp command that is in the user guide? I am not sure that we have CUPS set up. Do you need that to be able to print? Is there any other way to print from the bursting control file if you don't have CUPS set up?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!!

Printing SAP invoice on SAP printer using custom SAP report

Hi SAP Experts,
We have the following requirement.
We need to create a custom report in ABAP to print the Invoice on the printer specifed in the input selection screen.We don't want to use the external commad using GUI.Can annyone please suggest how can we create a spool directly using the invoicve no in sap.
Thanks,
Prathamesh

Hi Prathamesh,
Follow this approach.
Get NAST entry corresponding to invoice number(invoice number = objky).
insert this piece of code :
     gwa_nast-vstat = 1.
     gwa_nast-erdat = sy-datum.
     gwa_nast-eruhr = sy-uzeit.
     gwa_nast-usnam = sy-uname.
     gwa_nast-manue = 'X'.
     gwa_nast-vstat = 0.
     gwa_nast-LDEST = P_printername_from_selection_screen.
     CLEAR gwa_nast-datvr.
     CLEAR gwa_nast-uhrvr.
     CLEAR gwa_nast-cmfpnr.
   MOVE gwa_nast TO nast.
   PERFORM einzelnachricht_dialog IN PROGRAM rsnast00 USING sy-subrc.
   IF sy-subrc NE 0.
     PERFORM objekt_entsperren IN PROGRAM rsnast00.
     IF sy-subrc EQ 9.
       RAISE print_error_dial.
     ELSE.
       RAISE print_error.
     ENDIF.
   ENDIF.
   SET SCREEN 0.
   PERFORM objekt_entsperren IN PROGRAM rsnast00.
   COMMIT WORK AND WAIT.
the above will generate a spool.
Thanks,
Anil

EA6300 - Windows TCP/IP Printing Using LPR Protocol to USB ??

I am in process of replacing an old Zyxel router with (probably) an EA6300 (depending on the answer to this post...)
Currently I have a Dymo USB label printer connected to the Zyxel's USB port, and my Windows 7 clients are set up to print to that device using the LPR protocol through a Windows TCP/IP print port connected to 192.168.1.1 (the IP address of the Zyxel).
So my question is whether the EA6300 will work in the same way?

Hi Andrew! Yes the VUSB software must be installed on your Windows 7 computer for it to be able to see the printer that will be connected to the USB port of the EA6300 and be able to print . Here's more information about the EA6300, http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=7e5454f239a946599bd151dccb031a57_Getting_to_know_t...

then you need your own printprogram and everything is fine. with open_form ; start_form ; write_form; end_form
you can communicate direct with the Datamax Programming Language from SAPScript to the Barcode printer.
i also have the datamax programmers manual as pdf if you want i could send it to you. let me know by PM.
also have look into HW 490295 the bartender Solution works fine for me to create the SO10 text's

Smartform font spacing Issue when using SAP printer name

Hi Friends,
I am facing some spacing issues when printing a form using SAP printer name. If I use LOCL then the output comes perfectly but when I use the SAP printer name the space between characters are getting widened and so the alignment of each column goes wayward. I suspect it could be due to the device type but not sure which seeting controls this. There is a similar problem in the logo as well. When using LOCL the logo comes out good but when using the printer name the quality is not good and becomes pixelised. Have any of you faced similar issues? Can you provide some guidance or pointers for the solution.
Device type of LOCL : ZSAPWIN
Device type of SAP printer name : ZHPLJ5
CPI is defined in smartform as 10.
Please let me know if you need more information.
Thanks,
Praveen

Hi,
This problem occurs because the printer driver for both the printers are different,
I suggest you use Local printer only or configure any other printer with printer diver in SAP as SAPWIN.
Regards,
Bharat.

SAP printer issue using output method store in windows

Hi,
Here is my issue:
I created a printer in SAP in t-code SPAD. The host spool access method is C, direct operating system call. The host printer (windows printer) has an output method «store», which means that the printing request is stored in the printer and the user needs to release the printing job directly on the printer using a password.
If we use printer LOCL_LOCAL, this works correctly, i.e. the printing job is sent in the printer memory and the user release it with his password
If we use a printer with an access method C, the printing job bypass the output method store and the job is printed immediately.
Any idea why the acces method C is not working for output method «store» in Windows?
Thanks,
Julien

ideally it should work if the spool work process of the SAP System and the host spool system (operating system spooler) are on the same host. is this the case?

Printing problem in Sap script using J1IP

Using a Zprogram & script for Excise Invoice printing using J1IP. The value of a field gets double while printing but it appears correct in Print Preview of the same.
Moreover, the value prints correctly if some other login is used on the same machine.
What could be the reason. Kindly advise as not able to resolve this issue.
thanks
anu

Hi Kumar,
Sometimes it is to do with printer settings. I hope you are checking Output for both PRD and DEV on same printer.

Need clarification on Berkeley Protocol dependency on PRI file

Dear All,
I am very new to SAP. I have uploaded the PRI file. From client side, I can able to do the ABAP print. If ABAP printing is successful, can we say that the PRI file is supported for Berkeley protocol.
Shortly, can we say that there is no dependency for Berkeley protocol print on the PRI file.
Regards,
Sathya

No. The file itself is not read.
The error thrown when the process is invoked is file not found(If i place a pdf or xls file. for doc file it works).
I have confirmed that the file is in its location as mention in the source path.
Thanks,

SAP printing strategy

Hi all
I have couple of questions for general printing used
1. My dear customer has some odd 3200 printers for production systems
I would like to know what will be best practice to have all this printer configured
2. We have some third pary software called DAZEL where all printer are configured and used with production system
But the administation of this becomes difficult and not somthing SAP BASIS related ,hence knowledge is limited
3. I would like to know if I can configure this with some printer server or on SAP CI host and use almost all printers without any problem by creating print queue on unix and using spad
I really appreciate your views on this
Ganesh

Hi Ganesh,
There are some options for printing in SAP. But generally one of the best solution is defining printers in spad and using U: Using Berkeley Protokol. Firstly What you must do is to define all the printers in sm55 transaction in THOST table. and you must use this SAP name in spad. For Device types you can use I9HP4.
Thanks

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.

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.

dushanth

Hi
Consider that I dont have FTP installed on my computer. According to this blog
/people/shabarish.vijayakumar/blog/2006/08/01/along-came-a-file-adapter-mr-ftp-and-rest-of-the-gang
I have configured.
In sender comm channel I have given Ipaddress of computer 1 (which has a file to be picked)
In Receiver Comm channel I have given IP address of computer 3 (in which file to be posted)
and computer 2 is the XI server
Computer 1 has FTP installed
1. XI server should have FTP installed or not ? IF yes is it FTP client or FTP server or Guild FTP (according to the blog is enough)
2. Computer 3 should have FTP installed or not ?
Please help me I am really confused.
Thanks

Can't print using ethernet connection

I am running Lion (10.7.4) on new Macbook Pro and am not able to connect my printer (HP LaserJet 5000GN) via an ethernet connection. I've downloaded the software drivers from Apple (v. 2.9) and used software update to make sure I am fully up to date, and restarted.
When I select System Preferences>Print and Scan and the click "+" in the dialog box, the Add Printer window comes up with nothing in the default window. When I go to the IP window in Add Printer the three options are IPP, LPD, and Socket. If I enter my IP address in the address box (I get a "Valid and complete address" verification in the window, I also pinged the printer successfully in Network Utility), and select the HP LJ 5000 series in the "print using" box, IPP gives me an error and LPD and Socket tells me "Unable to verify the printer on your network. It can not be currently determined if ‘192.168.0.4’ supports the HP JetDirect Protocol. Would you still like to create the queue?" If I select it anyway, it gets hung up on the "Setting up '[name of IP address]'" popup (shows it's running but never completes) unless I click the configure button and check the boxes.
After checking the boxes if I then go back to the Print & Scan Window, a printer appears with my IP address as its name. If I try to print, the Print Queue window comes up but the progress bar just runs endlessly and I get a message in Print Queue window, "Microsoft Word - Unable to verify your printer on your network." (The first part is because I tried to print a MSW document, but I've tried other software and it still fails to print.)
I've also tried this with different ethernet cables and with a direct ethernet connection vs. on a hub. The printer was working fine via ethernet connection on my old Macbook running 10.4, so I know this is some kind of software/configuration problem. This is an old printer so ethernet is the only option for connecting to the computer.
Any help would be much appreciated.

seems like it's all working now. i selected apple talk, and it found my laserwriter instantly.
forgot about apple talk!

Printing using dot matrix printer,problem with landscape printing

Hi all,
We are planning to use Dot matrix printers for printing through SAP.We do front end printing using Windows OS. I am able to get prints properly if it is a script form. In case of list outputs, printer is printing the text outside the paper.Only half of the text is printing on the continuous stationary. Actually document is to be printed in Landscape format. So printer should print data vertically on the paper,but it's printing horizontally. I have created sparate output device for this printer.My printer is TVS Electronics HD745 24 Pin heavy duty printer. I have assigned OKI341 as device type for this device.Any more settings I need to do to get printing in landscape mode?
