How To Check For Printing Problems

When a user is unable to print a SAP document then, what are things we need to check to solve the issue?

The following things you need to check for the printing problems:

1. First check wether the printer is the network printer or local printer.

2. Ask them to take a test print out from his local machine

if it is not printing ,

then

he/she has to check the local printer configuration

else

if it is working fine ,

then

the following things to be done

1. first check the spooler output of the transaction , by using tcode

sp02 or by selecting the menu option system-> own spooled jobs

if you found the output by clicking the field "type"

then

check the transaction SPAD for printer configuration

for the printer is configured to take the local printout

for eg. for a particular printer check, in "Device Attribute"

tab "Lock printer in SAP system" is unchecked.

in "access method" tab fields should have the following

values for local printer

Field : Value

Host Spool Accees method : F:printing on the front computer

Host Printer : __DEFAULT

if everything is correct

then

ask he/she to check the hard disc space available at

his local machine(don't think I am giving foolish idea)

because I faced the problem, due to no hard disc

space, if I give print it won't print.

endif
