HowTo add printcontrol "&a180P" to my spoolrequest?

[Muller, W.D.]

Bill,

>>if SAP embeds ESC-E (reset) into the print job,

Yes they do, the 1st line of my =

^[E^[(0N^[&l0L^[&l26A^[&l0S^[&l1H^[&l0O^[&l48C^[&l0E^[&l0C^[9^M

Any option I have embedded in the model.orig/ is completely overruled?

>>You'll have to replace the printer with a model that works OK.
Could you please explain?.
With the "overall reset", no printermodel would be workable, or not?

>^[E^[(0N^[&l0L^[&l26A^[&l0S^[&l1H^[&l0O^[&l48C^[&l0E^[&l0C^[9^M

Then you'll need to use sed(1) or something to edit that line and insert your escape sequence after that Esc E.

No, you just have to work harder. :-)

Correct, no unmodified printer script will work. If I had to pay that kind of money for SAP, I would be complaining bitterly about the hardcoded printer codes. It reminds of early DOS programs that 'supported' specific printers -- but that was 25 years ago. But before I rage on about restricted printer support, I would check with SAP to see if they have customization available. In that case, you get to insert the appropriate codes well into the print job.

Hi Dennis & Bill,

1.Thx for even bothering to reply on this ticket.

2.I'm going to tackle my problem from the other side. Internal SAP customization seems to be the only solution, as the printjob is being generated on a foreign SAP System (A) redirected, with OTF, to SAP System (B).
(the latest info i received through SAP)

thx anyway for helping hand.
