Smartform printing problem across network printers

Hi All!
I am facing problem with printing a smartform. When I give LOCL as printer name I am getting an exact printout but when I use any network printer name I am getting black portions printed over the areas where I have tables.
Can anyone advise me on this.
regards
Praneeth

How do you split the print job across multiple printers to shorten the prin

i
Can any one you provide some information on below questions.
Check printing by XML template (XML Publisher).
1. When printing checks, how do you print the checks from one printer tray and the overflow remittance pages from another printer tray?
2. When printing a large batch of checks using XML and PDF output, how do you split the print job across multiple printers to shorten the print time?
I appreciate if you could give some information on above 2 questions.
Regards,
Ramarao.

Probably sould just do them individually.

HP posted a workaround for this problem while they were working with Microsoft to get the root cause of the problem, many customers commented that the workaround helped them out and they were able to print. This workaround was not easy to use as the customer needed to add another printer manually and changed drivers.
We can now announce that the problem has been fixed, the problem involved a Microsoft Network component that HP was using to talk to and track the printers on the network. This fix is being rolled out by Microsoft via Windows Update and anyone who has Windows Update enabled and set to automatically install updates should have already received this update. For those that do not have Windows Update setup to automatically install fixes the fix is available now and should be installed.
The details of this fix and a manual method of installing it can be found here.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/3000461
This fix is only designed for users that are using there printer on a Network (Wireless or Wired) and will not fix partial printing problems encountered with USB connections.
There are many threads in HPs forums about this issue (below are links to a few of them)

@tenkeypro
First, I would suggest you uninstall the exsisting driver and reinstall following one of these documents to see if it will clear this error message:
Install HP print and scan software on a Windows 8 computer (32-bit and 64-bit)
Universal Print Driver (no scan)
Driver support included in Windows 8 / Windows 8.1 or in Windows Update

Reader 9 PDF printing problem with Canon printers

If you get no job output but only a blinking LED on various Canon network printers this might help:
1. Open Acrobat or Adobe Reader.
2. Choose File > Print.
3. Click the Advanced button.
4. Check "let printer determine colors"
Additionally you might need to set the "Font and Resource Policy" dropdown to "Send for Each Page" as described in http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb408015&sliceId=1
Good luck!

Abhigyan,
The Java Script hasn't changed in 2 years. It was developed by an Adobe Partner. Adobe Reader and Acrobat have changed.
I'll try to step through the script but haven't had much luck in past.
Here are the lines that Reader likely is throwing the error:
oDoc.print(pp);
if ( bCloseNoSave ) oDoc.closeDoc({bNoSave:true});
As I stated, it works in previous versions of Reader (9.0 through version 9.3.2). The issue began when Adobe released version 9.3.3.

Leopard printing problems on several printers (Am I the only one?)

Since installing Leopard shortly after it was released, I've had flakiness with printing:
- With Tiger, when I printed, I could open the printer's window, and see the print job queued. The job would finish, disappear from the window, and everything would be fine.
- When the job was printing, the printer icon would appear in the Dock. When the job was done, the icon would disappear from the Dock. Simple.
With Leopard, printing has worked, but I have never seen a print job appear in a PrinterProxy window. I print, the printer outputs the job, and PrinterProxy is always blank. The printer icon appears in the Dock, and stays there forever. I found that I could ctrl-click on the icon and select the Auto Quit option (Hooray!), but that only worked for a while. Then the icons started staying in the Dock again. When I click on the Dock, there is no more Auto Quit option... just the "Application Not Responding" message. I have to force quit Printer Proxy after every time I print.
What's stranger is how long it takes for the PrinterProxy app to start up. The icon in the Dock bounces for well over a minute. Sometimes, the job finishes printing before the app is launched. If I switch between apps using Cmd-Tab, I can select the PrinterProxy app, but it never actually displays; instead, I just revert to the current window.
This is true for every printer I use, and as a traveling consultant, I use several. It is true whether I am printing via Airport, or over a direct Internet or USB connection.
The printers that are permanently in my Printer List are:
Canon i9100
Brother MFC-8840
Epson Stylus Photo 220
HP LaserJet 1320N
HP LaserJet 8800
HP LaserJet 6570
HP Color LaserJet 5550
Adobe PDF 8.0
All of these have the same problems. What's worse is, when I have a printing problem, there is no way to diagnose it, since the print jobs never show up in the PrinterProxy.
I have reset my printing system many times. I have deleted and re-added my printers many times. I have downloaded drivers from the manufacturer's sites, and reinstalled Leopard's default drivers. Nothing makes a difference. Strangely, after updating to 10.5.2, the Auto Quit problem went away for awhile, then returned spontaneously.
At the thread below, I show some of my system and crash logs from a prior discussion. Someone was helping me with the problem, but after asking me to post my logs, he seems to have dropped off the thread.
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7013209#7013209
I can't believe this problem is endemic to Leopard. I know many people who seem to use Leopard without any problems at all. (They even print once in a while!) And yet, as a fairly advanced user, I can't believe I'm the only one having this problem! My system is pretty plain vanilla, with no weird mods, hacks or apps. Pretty much just straightforward creative and productivity apps. I use it daily for business, so I try to keep all wacky stuff off of it.
There must be a solution, short of doing a clean install. Can anyone help? Are there PrinterProxy-related files I can delete when I reset the Printer System that might help resolve this? Prefs?
Thanks,
David

I'm having exactly the same problem with a Lexmark C760.
When I inspect the Activity Monitor while opening the Printer Icon from the Dock (or press the Button "Open Print Queue" in the "Print & Fax" System Preferences), I can see the Printer Icon as "Printer Proxy (Not Responding)" marked in red in the processes list. The Dock icon bounces for quite a while, and after about 2 minutes, a Printer List actually appears under the PrinterProxy application and the process in Activity Monitor changes its name to "(null)" and its color to black.
Though there is no entry in the PrinterProxy list when I print something from another application while keeping the window open, I can select "Supply Levels" and the correct information appears, so it seems to be functional.
It also seems that there are several copies of the drivers remaining, as the application in the Dock is named "Lexmark C760 (4)", probably from my attempts to remove and reinstall the driver. Is there some interference with old installations of the drivers that still lurk somewhere, hidden in the depth of the many libraries? How can I get rid of the previously installed drivers for good?

Printing Problems on network

WhenI try to print over the network from my Macbook Air I get the message "can't send data to printer". Worked fine last week. Printer wroks fine on usb port on my iMac.

Here's the walk-through of LPR printing on the IP protocol.
http://itinfo.mit.edu/article.php?id=6664
Note that under "Printer Type" they select "LPD/LPR"
If your printer has an ethernet jack, then the queue name is usually left blank and each printer has its own IP number ("Printer Address"). In the example, they typed a server name under "Printer Address". Chances are, you will be typing in an IP number (192.168.1.78, for example - the number assigned to your printer or to your standalone printserver)
If you're connected through a printserver and it has only one port, generally, the "Queue Name" is left blank (don't write "nil" like they did in the example) and the IP number is that of the printserver.
If you have multiple ports on a printserver, then each port has a name (and the IP number is that of the printserver - same IP number for both ports). Be sure to type the port name into the "Queue Name" field in Print Utility for each printer connected to a port on the printserver.

Can no longer print on any network printers or on printer wired to USB

I changed the printer to "Select printer" save as PDF
since then i can no longer print to any printer on network
also I tried to connect a printer direct to usb. still no luck.
I have tried to update software
I have tried to select different printer on network
I believe the problem is in a setting that automatically changed when I selected "Save as PDF" as one of the printers.
there are so many tabs and locations on this system I just don't know where to start

First thing to try is go into your system preferences using the little apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen. Go to printers an see if your printer is listed there. Go through the settings looking for something that would lock it to acting like a PDF exporter all the time. Sometimes the printer utility will have a "Print Test Page Option".
Installing some software, like Adobe, will also install dummy printer drivers that show up as "PDF Printers" in the Printers listing. This could be set as the default printer, but shouldn't stop you from selecting a different printer at print time.
If all else fails, you could try removing all he printers from your System Preferences, then reinstalling your current printer with default setups after restarting the computer. When it sees the "new" device it should start the install process like it did the first time. If you are not comfortable doing that, better to wait for better help or you could end up being worse off than you are now.
I too print to PDF often by selecting the option at the bottom of the print page. But it doesn't lock into that mode. It prints to the printer by default.
Good luck.

Smartform - Printing differently on different printers

Hi Guru's,
I've a problem in printing the smartform to 2 different printers.
1. LOCL - we don't have any problems in printing to the Local Printer.
2.HP Printer (HIITPRT21) - when we print the document using this printer , Header is printing in one page and the Remaining contents (Main Window) is printing in different pages.
I don't think there is a problem with the smartform, because it should print the same way on LOCL as HP Printer Does.
Could you please let me know where the problem is and how to resolve it???
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=190743231
The above blog is talking about the problems, it is mentioning about the problems with the print controls..how to know which one is causing the problems??
Thanks,
Adi.

Adobe reader XI: doule sided print problem with network printer (windows 8 pro)

Hi, I'm facing a problem with my old printer, the xerox phaser 3160n. It was connected to my notebook through network connection, and everything works well with Adobe X /Win 7 OS (including the double side print, of course) last month, I have upgraded my NB to windows 8 with clean install
clean install my printer driver for windows 8 too, and Adobe reader XI was also downloaded through official website.
However, since I was about to use double sided print in Adobe reader XI (11.00.02) it couldn't obey the order, but just print one side as usual
I have checked the "option" of my printer, and it was correctly set to "double-sided print". I have tried word 2013 to open the same pdf, and choose the same "double-sided print" and it works perfectly.
Is this problem a bug? and would it be corrected in the next update version??
(I remeber I've saw a similar issue too, with network printer, but I couldn't find it)
Thanks!!!

Hi,
Meanwhile, after insatlling the latest driver for printer from the manufacture website, restart the spooler service as a test.
Start > Run > cmd and type "net stop spooler" after that "net start spooler" or start > run > service.msc and restart it over the GUI.
Run Printer Troubleshootor under Action Center\Troubleshooting\Programs\Printer, and check if it helps.
And yes, the manufacture should have more sence about the printer, it's recommended to contact them.

Hi Sap Expert,
Our Sap System has been upgraded from ECC 6.0 to ECC 6.6 ( Ehp6). now we are facing problem in to print smart forms .
I have a smart form with one page and three copies are there.
On first it was written ORIGINAL, on second DUPLICATE and third one is TRIPLICATE.
When I see the print preview it shows all the three pages ( ORIGINAL, DUPLICATE and TRIPLICATE. ). but when i give the command to print. it will only 3 copies
ORIGINAL. and when i convert into PDF it shows only one page ORIGINAL.
I want ORIGINAL, DUPLICATE and TRIPLICATE printout in single command.
Note : Before Up gradation of sap system it worked fine.
Guide me.........

Hi Marques,
Yes, my problem has solved,
Write the code Driver Program:
Declare Internal Table as:
DATA : BEGIN OF ITAB OCCURS 0,
          I TYPE I,
          TEXT TYPE CHAR20,
          END OF ITAB.
and Append 3 time this Itab with the no of copies of form ( Original, Duplicate and Triplicate ) as
    ITAB-I = 1.
   ITAB-TEXT = 'Original'.
   APPEND ITAB.
   CLEAR ITAB.
Now,
LOOP AT ITAB.
call function module of smartforms as
CALL FUNCTION fm_name
   EXPORTING
    CONTROL_PARAMETERS         = CO
    OUTPUT_OPTIONS             = OT
*   USER_SETTINGS              = 'X'
     L_***                      = L_***
     V_INDX                     = ITAB-I
* IMPORTING
   TABLES
     IT                         = IT
and modify the smart form as
write the code in window
IF V_INDX = '1'.
v_text = 'Original'.
ELSEIF V_INDX = '2'.
v_text = 'Duplicate'.
ELSEIF V_INDX = '3'.
v_text = 'Triplicate'.
ENDIF.

Venkat,
You can do that in two ways. Once is to set it in the USER DEFAULTS. Go to SU01 and you can see a tab for DEFAULTS.. There will be a check box for PRINT IMMEDIATELY.
Or you can do that in the SMART Form parameters also. In the OUTPUT_OPTIONS parameters ther is a field TDIMMED. Set that to 'X'. That should print the form immediately.

Ravi

Smartform-printing problem

hi gurus,
The smartform is a letter fromat.
The selection screen contains vbak-lifsk(Delevery block) its mandatory field and vbak-vbeln .
My requirement is to print all sales order no.'s and that sold to party details and remaining is hardcoded.
my problem is, suppose in a block if there are 2 or more sales doucuments we want to print the same format for for those sales order numbers.
suppose delevery block is Road Permit.
this block contains 5 sales order numbers.so i want 5 letters .
Now i am getting for one sales order no .
Best answers will be rewarded.
Thanks and regards,
alson

Hi Alson,
          If the output is only one page per sales order....
         1. Hardcoded part would be repeated per each page.
         2. For the dynamic date ( sales order no. and sold to party details ),
             we can run a loop and print each sales order no. in different page
             with NEW-PAGE command....
          or another approach could be.. we have to call the generated FM for the
          smartform within a loop of the table which has all the data of sales orders
          for a delivery block....

Smartforms printer problem

Hello,
I open a smartform from a custom print programm using control_parameters and output_control with values from the message control table NAST. The parameter user_settings is set to SPACE.
I fill the parameter output_control-tddest explicitly from NAST, but however, the formular is always printed on one particular printer, our development printer.
Are there any settings which override the FM parameters?
Kind regards,
Hans

Hey Hans,
In SAP each printer has a short and long name associated with it. You might wanna check TSP03 table to get an idea.
Now check in NAST table what kind of name (Shor or long) is being stored.
If its short then assign
SSFCOMPOP-tddest = NAST-VALUE
ELSE
SSFCOMPOP-TDPRINTER = NAST-VALUE
And as you rightly did, user_setting should be space, so that it doesnot pick printer from user settings.
Inacse you still having the problem try deleting any default printer name from your user profile via SU01.
Let me know if you still have problems.
Regards,
Jeet

Smartform Printing Problem After - Sign

I have some strange problem in Smart forms.
Actually I am printing PO Number in Invoice layout and its printing normally .
But If Po Number Value Like 1-234567 or ABC-234 then its printing only 1 or ABC.
Means after - sign its not printing any thing.
Could you anybody help me on this issue.
Regards
Vijay Maurya

May be there is some SPLIT statement AT '-' to split the PO and print only first part.
Try to Search it in Smartform.
Do like:
Open Smartforms.
Press Test Button.
You will now on the SE37 screen.
Now, open it
Select the Find button
Enter your Text
Select the "In Main Program" << IMportant
And press Enter...
If that text or Program lines exsists in your Smartform anywhere, you will get that code.
