Rocklyn,
My request was for two print queues in SAP for FSS to use to print to their
own local hp printer.
On the NUP printing question, I have a couple of comments. Jeff Banta and
I figured out how to make it work through ipm. There are two ways for it
to work,but for either option the printing HAS to happen on an IPDS printer
controlled by ipm, it CANNOT be a postscritp printer controlled by
ipm. The two scenarios for nup printing are, the postscript coming out of
sap is reqired to either have absolutely no pagesize information associated
with it, OR when the print file is sent to ipm there is a file that needs
to be appended to the front of the postscript file sent to ipm. The other
thing is in order for ipm to do anything with the files, they cannot go to
a postscript printer, they have to go to the ipm printers so that the file
can be ripped and transformed to alter the print to nup...........
Either option for the postscript requires coding at the sap end of the
transaction, and since this is a lower priority than other things that need
to be put into production this month, I had sent mail suggesting, that the
nup printing be the first one tackled when the ipm is moved to the
production or steady state owners.
