Hi Rocklyn,
I have created the two output device definitions in SAP R/3 (SF2). And, as
expected, they have errored; there is no associated spool definition for
them on the SF2 R/3 server. The exact error is: /usr/bin/lpr: retipm:
unknown printer and /usr/bin/lpr: retipm2: unknown printer
Usually, the required printer definitions are created and propagated,
daily, to each R/3 server based on a nightly feed from moira (ae and fiber,
only) to windsurf.
If a team member from ASST would create printer definitions for "retipm"
and "retipm2", that would be most helpful.
I am not sure if others are as confused as I am... I would find a meeting
helpful where we review the existing process for printers, print queues and
R/3 output device definitions and consider how IPM print queues may
intersect the existing process and where the process s/b enhanced.
Possibly, it is time to consider any updates to the the following web page:
<http://web.mit.edu/is/help/print/>
and, possibly, include a visual diagram.
Potential areas to include:
New Printer
IP, hostname, queue names
discern which servers (ae, fiber, plunder -- should each
plunder/pillage queue have an associated ae or fiber queue)
agree on standards for how the data is presented/represented in moira
flow of data from moira (ae, fiber, plunder/pillage) to R/3 servers
R/3 output definitions (many choices, in particular, the short name,
color, duplex settings)
review current test / confirmation practices
propagating to other R/3 environments
problem identification and resolution
Existing Printer
similar to above ...
Thanks,
Theresa
