Default printer setting for users

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have a requirement.

User wants to get the print out at his own desk.

Can we set up like the print out should go to the printer assigned to perticular user who execute the transaction.

If user X is assigned to printer 123. and Y is to 456. the printer should default when he trying to process output (Logical destination). I tried maintaining Output type print parameters as USER PARAMETERS. and a printer is assigned to users own data SU3. but still system is asking for output device to assign while processing.

Thanks,

About which output are you talking?

O/P is ZF12 and it is for printing Shippment TAG, in T code VT01N.

But i feel the solution might be general not specific to output type. any way it is not a standard form.

Can we create new condition record using Output device from SU3.

If it is possible also is there any other method to achieve this.

Thank you,

I asked this question because it is transaction specific if SAP works with condition records or uses the standard printer from user settings, or any printer specified in selection screen of transactions.

In case of VT01N shipping documents you have to create condition records.

There you can enter the printer of your user.

Hi,

Create the condition record and if the output type is configured correctly, it will allow you to save without entering a printer. Click the "Print immediately" check box though.

Do we need to include the feild Output device in condition record?

Because i want the printer to be defaulted while processing print out. it should defaulted based on the user who is procesing the O/P.

We are assigning output devices to all user in SU3 or SU01D (All users have different printers).

Thanks

you can define your message type to retrieve the printer from the user master if no output device is entered in the condition record.

Example: Execute V/82 , select a message type, go to its detail. then go to tab print and set print parameter to S.

Compare with OSS note 446041

you do not have to maintain the output device in the condition record, just on the default printer on the user master.

The output type print parameter attribute should be set at 'S' user parameters

I have maintained print parameter as User Parameters only.

But still i am not getting it.

Maintained printer as LOCL in Condition record and tried by keeping it empty also.

still the printer user default is not getting automatically assigned while processing output.

Are you certain that the condition record is accessed?

If you had entered there a LOCL and this did not come over to the message, then I doupt that this message condition was read.

When you enter "LOCL" on the condition record, does anything print?

If not, have you checked your transaction to see if it has hit the condition record?

Hi

You need to maintain condition record for the desired output.Please let us know the desired printing document like pick tags or GR/IR slip based on that you need to maintain condition record

You need to assign the printer for the desired function for the particular output type.
