Problem to print pdf-based forms using matricial Epson printer

[Former Member]

I need print pdf-based forms using an EPSON FX 2190 printer.

In The sap note 685571 I read that can print PDF-based forms on all printers installed in the SAP system as long as the relevant XDC file exists.

I do not found XDC file to EPSON device type, a Epson fx 2190 do not support postscript.

Can I use this printer to pdf-based forms?

I need that spool request (pdf) have a output immediately on EPSON printer.

thanks in advanced for your cooperation to solve it.

I am afraid you cannot make your scenario work if there is no XDC provided. Maybe you can create one, but I don´t know how difficult that can be or how to do that. Maybe you can get more help under ABAP > Form printing where there are guys experienced with this printing details. Regards, Otto

Hi Osmany,

Maybe you can follow the note below.

1444342  Device type-independent printing of interactive forms

That's the standard scenario without XDC.

I also recommend the notes:

1806471 - IFbA: Additional print options

1729666 - Enhanced print options for ADS printing
