Smart form printing without dialog box

Question

Hi,
Thanks to eveyone for reading this post.
I want to print a form thru smartform. I am able to do that now by calling that smart form and passing the data. Now i wanted to print multiple docs using smartform so that the dialog box printer doesnt apppear and all printing is executed without any user intervention.
I tried to call smart form in the following way so that data is printed to the printer without any thing appearing on the screen (dialog box).
I did consult the forums here and when i try it I either see the dialog box or see other sy-subrc.
Code -
Data: w_ctrlop TYPE ssfctrlop,
         w_compop TYPE ssfcompop.
W_COMPOP-tdnewid   = 'X'.
W_COMPOP-tdFINAL   = 'X'.
W_COMPOP-tdimmed   = 'X'.
W_COMPOP-tddelete  = 'X'.
W_COMPOP-tdcopies  = 1 .
*W_COMPOP-TDNOPREV  = 'X' .
W_COMPOP-TDDEST    = 'LP01'.
*W_COMPOP-tdnoprint = 'X'.
W_ctrlop-DEVICE    = 'PRINTER'.    " Here we dont give printer name 'KX-P3696'.
w_ctrlop-no_dialog = 'X'.
w_ctrlop-preview   = ''.
CALL FUNCTION '/1BCDWB/SF00000135'
*CALL FUNCTION v_form_name
  EXPORTING
    control_parameters  =  w_ctrlop
    output_options      =  w_compop
    user_settings       = 'X'
  IMPORTING
    job_output_info    = w_return
  EXCEPTIONS
    formatting_error   = 1
    internal_error     = 2
    send_error         = 3
    user_canceled      = 4
    OTHERS             = 5.
i would be glad if anyone can help me. I did a few RND in the code above to make it work but it dosent.
Moreover when the dialog box appears then there is a text in the bar below which says please maintain printer master data. (something like that). Is that creating a problem ?
Thanks,
JG
