G method, control based printing.

 

We have also used the policy to use old printer names, to remove the spaces.

 

I have set the registry as listed below.  I set this using a batch file,
fired from the usrlogon.cmd.

 

Print job goes to the Citrix server queue, but never gets to the print
server queue.

oooo SAP on Citrix ... my favourite :¬) 

 

There are a couple of things you have to check to get this working. 

 

1. Are you using G method Front End printing (Front End Printing with
Control Technology)? Ask your SAP Basis team.

If using F (SAPLpd) method it wont work with the latest UPD due to the
spaces in the printer name.If you do then will will have to revert back to
the old style UPD via Citrix policy.

 

2. Have you enabled the registry key for SAP printing using EMF ? 

I set this via a preference adm file only for our users who use the latest
UPD

To force the SAP GUI to send the data as EMF data, please add the following
registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SAP\SAPlpd\SAPLPD

Type: String

Name: SwinDataType

Value: EMF

All works well apart from one of our systems that doesnt have the required
SAP patches for G method printing.

As a matter of interest, what viewer are you using to view invoices ? Ixos ?

Side note...

 

I meant SAP 6.40 patch 23.

 

Also, UPD printing, from SAP, found that the print job sends to the queue on
the Citrix server, but that never gets sent to the queue on the print
server.

 

I have confirmed, using the "HP Universal Printing PCL 6" driver, SAP
printing works.  Is this or these (HP Universal drivers) a safe option in
the Citrix environment?
