need help on remote printing info for custom PDF form...

28 Views

Hi,

I did quite a lot of search on this requirement but failed to access the correct info in this forum. In case anyone has already done this, please do explain and point to the right link. thanks

I have a custom table where I will maintain every customer's email id, printer name (printer in his network where he wants me to print this PDF output, there can be multiple printers separated by comma) and his fax number.

Question 1: For remote printing,what all details do I need to maintain in my custom table regarding that printer (IP address or what ?? )? Also, any other configuration to be done to make this happen ?

Question 2: In my code how do I trigger my ADOBE form to be sent to that remote printer for printing ?

Currently I have done

CALL FUNCTION 'FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'

CALL FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_OPEN'

CALL FUNCTION z_FUNCNAME

CALL FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_CLOSE'

As of now, the print dialog opens and i can see the adobe output in the print preview option. This is OK for me when I want to do local printing. But how do I trigger the remote printing automatically based on the values in the custom table.

This is purely a custom transaction based printing and hence no output determination is configured .

Apologies if this question is repetitive, but I fail to assimilate the required info from the forum.

thnks
