When we develop form is it printer specific?
I developed a form using default local printer. When some other user prints the forms the data is not displayed properly(aligment id getting messed up). What should I do?
Thanks,

Hi,
how did u assign the printer,
try this
In the OPEN_FORM function, you will find a parameter 'DEVICE'
Pass your printer name to this.. it will automatically take this printer for spool.
use the FM FTR_CORR_CHECK_DEFAULT_PRINTER to get the printer for that user and then pass this to DEVICE

smart form is definetly a printer dependent
if you have developed it using LOCL then it will have layout like some alignment issue ..
you have 2 options :
1. check the real printer and adjust accordingly
2.check what printer r u using i mean there will a printer assigned to ur device type LOCL it will be like HP 4000...HP5000....
you need to use the same printer for the original device as well then you need not make any changes

Hi,
The form (SAPscript or Smartform) is assigned a Page format.
The page format is defined in transaction SPAD
The page format is assigned to a Format Type
The Format type is assigned to a Device Type
The Device type is assigned to a printer
The printer will then print via either a frontend printer, operating system printer or networked printer. And all of these could use different drivers.
So, while the form is only assigned to a page format, there's a lot that can vary between there and the physical printer.

Nick

Nick-
I developed a from in smart form to send it as PDF attachment in email. It worked fine but I have a issue.
When I send PDF it send in the way the the layout was designed but if some user sends it the fields are printed zigzag. Alignment is getting messed up. I have page layout defined in the smartfom. I am not printing the form so no printer is involved in development.
How to handle the issue?
Thanks.
Any suggestions please.
Thanks
