Sending Userid when printing job from SAP

Is there a way to send a userid when printing from SAP?  In order to control printing costs we are requiring user codes to be input to the printer before a job will print. The windows operating system is capable of sending the codes needed to the printer., Can the SAP application send a user codes ?

I don't think so directly unless you use LOCL and capture the Windows user ID, though I'm no printer expert.  You may need to generate reports in SAP but then you're never guaranteed that the spool that was released to Windows was actually output.  We have Equitrac boxes on all of our shared corporate printers.  When the print comes out directly from SAP, the only identification as to where the print came from, other than the name of the Windows print queue, is the generic underlying SAP system user (not the SAP user ID).  We can't track the cost unless the user actually logs into the box to use the printer/copier.
For our high volume color and black/white printers in our data center, we chargeback the print costs based on the Windows queue that the print came from.  As you probably know, you can have many SAP print queues/devices that point to the same physical printer.  We name all of our queues such that the using company/department/application is easily identified and our operators track the costs in that manner.

  • How do I send a printing job from a remote location to my photosmart 5514 printer

    I have given my photosmart 5514 printer  an email address. I can print successfully using the wireless network in my house. What more do I need to do to have it accept printing jobs from my iPone or laptop when I am in another remote location?

    Hi,
    You can send an email (including attachment) to its email address and it will print. Please note: it only supports the following format:
        Microsoft Word
        Microsoft PowerPoint
        Microsoft Excel (HP strongly recommends that you preview documents in Excel before printing)
        Text files (.txt)
        PDF
        HTML
        Images (bmp, jpg, png, gif, tiff)

  • Out of office message when sending mail to Lotus Notes from SAP

    Hi,
    Is it possible to have an 'out of office' message when sending mail to Lotus Notes from SAP?
    I'm sending account statements by mail via a modified version of function FI_OPT_ARCHIVE_CORRESPONDENCE. The SAP username is send as a parameter, and later converted to the e-mail saved in the user profile. This works, - but I would like to have an out of office reply if the user I send to is out of office.
    Hope someone can help...
    Regards,
    Lene

    As Thomas pointed out, you can use regular SMTP mail to send the contents to Lotus Notes. You can use the function module SO_OBJECT_SEND or any of the SAP Office function modules to do this.
    Only thing to remember is that the SMTP may have been disabled by your basis team due to security risks involved. An alternative could be a lotus notes connector available from IBM.

  • How to stop print job in SAP?

    Can some help in explaining how to stop print job in SAP .???
    i

    HI Swati,
    Thanks for the additional info. as per previously mentioned use SM37 - however be sure to check the box ''Sched' when performing the search for the job in question (and untick the others so the resulting list will be clearer to read etc.)
    You can then choose to delete the job and reschedule it to different periods via SM36
    Best of luck,

  • Why do print jobs from Firefox create paper jam in my HP printer?

    Running v3.6.13 in Win7 64-bit OS on HP laptop. Printer is a wireless networked HP Photosmart C7280. Print jobs from web pages result in a paper jam every time. Print jobs of documents from other applications as well as web pages from Internet Explorer all print normally. Jobs sent from 2 Macs in same network print normally. I think I've narrowed this down to Firefox being the only app to cause this problem.
    The print jobs sent from the HP laptop send one blank page through the printer in front of each printed page. Printer properties, advanced, for the printer show a "separator page" for each print job which cannot be changed or disabled, AFAIK. The Firefox print jobs send the blank page correctly but the next page on which the job should be printed is the one that jams and stalls the printer. I remove the jammed paper, reset the printer and nothing more happens - the job is ended, nothing in the queue.

    Hi @annmade ,
    I will certainly do my best to help you remove the rest of the paper jam inside the printer.
    I have provided some documentation for removing paper jams.  Please go to page 69 of the manual.
    HP Color LaserJet CP1210 Series Printer.
    I would suggest to try running a plain piece of paper through, by running a cleaning page through the printer. It might help since you are unable to access the rest of the pieces of paper inside the printer. Resolving Print Quality Issues. Go to Solution six: Clean inside the product. I don't have any documents for disassembling the printer.
    If the issue continues, please call our technical support at 800-474-6836, to see if they have a replacement option for you or a trade in option.

  • Hoiw to remove print job from queue?

    How can I remove a "print job" from the queue.  Selecting "cancel all printing jobs" will not remove it.  It says it is deleting, it is not doing anything.   Help please.    As long as this job is showing the printer will not print anything else.

    Hi Betty,
    Welcome to the HP Forum.
    The job queue may be stuck.
    Switch off the printer
    IF you are running a notebook, first do this:
    Create a Restore Point:   Create a Restore Point – Win7  OR  Create a restore point Win8
    Close all your programs and Shut down the computer
    Disconnect everything (little Unifier for the keyboard / external mouse can stay)
    Perform the Hard Reset for your notebook model
    Boot the computer and log in
    OR
    If you are not running a notebook, just
    Create a Restore Point:   Create a Restore Point – Win7  OR  Create a restore point Win8
    stop all your running programs, 
    shut down completely
    Boot the computer and log in
    Switch on the printer and wait until it is all back up and running.
    That probably won't fix the queue, but it will clear the rest of the cobwebs.
    Next, try this:
    Control Panel> icon view > Administrative Tools> Services>
    Click on Name to sort the column alphabetically >
    Scroll down and look for Print spooler> Highlight Print Spooler>
    Click Restart the service

  • Clear another user's print jobs from standard user account

    I have Parallels set up to print from Windows through Bonjour printer sharing with Mac OS X. Periodically print jobs I've sent from Windows will hang, or for some other reason I need to cancel them. Because I usually use a standard user account, I apparently can't delete them from the print queue--or, rather, I can, but then they just appear again. I can get rid of them by fast-switching over to the admin account, opening System Preferences, opening the Print & Fax pane, opening the queue, deleting the jobs, logging out, and then logging back in to my standard account. But that's kind of a pain, and I've been trying to find a faster way to do it.
    I have some extremely rudimentary knowledge of Terminal, and came across the sudo lprm - command, which seemed like it would do it. I had thought that sudo would just ask me for an admin password, but when I tried it, of course, I discovered that what it apparently actually wants is for my standard user account to be in the sudoers file (or, I guess, for me to have root enabled and use that password somehow).
    But since I don't really know what I'm doing, and doing anything with sudo or root access scares the bejesus out of me unless I know exactly what I'm doing: Can anyone tell me exactly what I need to do here? Is there a way to run the lprm - command to clear everything out of the print queue with just an admin password, without requiring root access? Or have I gone completely off the rails and missed some other easy way to clear another user's print job from a standard user account without resorting to Terminal at all?
    Thanks!

    OK, never mind--I had assumed I needed to work some sort of admin privilege into the mix to do this, since that's what the GUI seemed to require, but it turns out that just using "lprm -" in Terminal clears it right out. Perfect!

  • Prob. exec. print job from RFC which im calling Web Dynpro java in Portal

    Hi,
    Ive got a problem executing a print job from an RFC which im calling in Java web Dynpro Application in Portal. Im using an Acess Method G: for Front End Printing but Order gets stuck with the Status "Waiting" "Front end unavailable".
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance!!!

    HI,
    I dont think you would be able to do this. Instead, you need to get the content from RFC into WD java and print from the browser.

  • Script to import jobs from SAP

    Hi,
    Is there a way to bring all the jobs from sap as job chains in CPS? To the best of my knowledge only multi step jobs can be brought into CPS as job chains.
    Regards,
    Esha

    Hi Gerben,
    How will these different options affect the statics reports? For example, if the option chosen is 'Never' then the job defintion SAP_ABAPRUNPRINT  is encapsulated in the job chain, this way we cant find out the exact statistics for the actual report. On the other hand if I chose 'Per Job Step', In addition to creating a job chain it also creates a job definition for each step as you mentioned earlier, while this aids in the correct statistics it only adds extra job definitions in the system which arnt really needed for multi-step jobs.
    Regards,
    Esha

  • I need help.  Can LiveCycle PDF Generator accept network print jobs from a PCL only source?

    I need help.  Can LiveCycle PDF Generator accept network print jobs from a PCL only source?

    More information about this game:
    The game should generate a random obstacle course for the player. The first column of the grid, however, should consist of all empty pieces, with the exception of the upper left-hand corner, which is the grid location where the player initially resides.
    Enter a loop in which the following things happen (not necessarily in this order):
    Print the current board configuration. Additionally, a key should be printed describing what each piece is.
    Get an action from the user. The player can move up, down, left, or right. Use the following controls: up = 'i', down = 'm', left = 'j', right = 'k'. The player can move at most one block at a time. Of course, if the player tries to move into a spot occupied by an immovable block, the player will not move.
    Inform the player whether they have won, or if they have lost (a player loses if they step on a bomb piece).
    If the player types 'q', the game should terminate.
    I am still stuck on this maze generator stuff.... Please help me....

  • Adobe Form output cropped when sent directly from SAP to printer

    I have created an Adobe Form (not interactive) that looks perfectly OK when previewed in Adobe Acrobat viewer but when printed blank margins of 4-5 millimeters are applied on all 4 paper edges. The form was designed with a coloured frame around it but the margins effectively remove most of the frame. The form content is being cropped instead of being compressed inside the margins.
    The form has been created with LiveCycle Designer via SAP transaction SFP. I am generating the form from an ABAP program
    When the form is printed from the Adobe Acrobat viewer I have the option to set Page Scaling to 'Fit to Printable Area'. This makes the form content being compressed inside the blank margins and the coloured frame remains intact. If I leave the Page Scaling setting as 'None' the output is being cropped as described above.
    The real problem occurs when I want to print without previewing first. I need to do that since previewing enables the user to skip printing and the application must know if the form has been printed or not. I have so far found no way to make the printer print on the paper edges or fit the content to printable area. Is there some setting in the output parameters than handles this?
    Also there is a need for duplex printing when sending form directly to printer. On help.sap.com there is information about duplex print for SAPscript and Smartforms but nothing for Adobe Forms.
    Here is an excerpt of the ABAP code used for printing the Adobe Form:
      DATA: zs_outparams TYPE sfpoutputparams,
                 z_fmname     TYPE rs38l_fnam.
    Set some print parameters
      zs_outparams-nodialog = abap_true.        "No user dialog
      zs_outparams-device   = 'PRINTER'.          "Output device
      zs_outparams-dest     = z_pdest.              "Printer name
      zs_outparams-reqnew   = abap_true.        "New spool request
      zs_outparams-reqimm   = abap_true.        "Print immediately
    Open print job

      IF sy-subrc <> 0.
        RAISE print_error.
      ENDIF.
    Get FM name for form

          i_name     = 'Z_TEST_FORM'
        IMPORTING
          e_funcname = z_fmname.

          system_error   = 2
          internal_error = 3
          OTHERS         = 4.
      IF sy-subrc <> 0.
        RAISE print_error.

          OTHERS         = 4.
      IF sy-subrc <> 0.
        "Ignore
      ENDIF.
    Please advise on how to
    -  avoid the content cropping
    -  enable duplex print
    when sending Adobe forms directly to the printer
    Thanks very much!

    Thanks for your answer, Ramachandra!
    However I need some more specific information to solve this.
    Which printer layout settings are relevant for the handling of margins and duplex printing for Adobe Forms?
    I have not set up the printer myself but when talking to the printer guy which settings should I recommend him to look at?
    I can see in transaction SPAD that there are settings specific to SmartForms but there is nothing said about Adobe Forms. Is there some way to make Adobe Forms related setting appear in SPAD for a device type?
    Maybe my problem is not related to the printer device settings but rather to the way the printer is being called. When printing duplex we will have to override the default settings of the printer anyway.
    Function module FP_JOB_OPEN has a parameter structure of the type SFPOUTPUTPARAMS. Which fields in this parameter structure are to be manipulated to get duplex print and output fitted to page size?
