    Configuring Printer in Oracle Applications
    Thursday, September 28, 2006
    Register for R12 upgrade
    If you have not read my previous post about printers basics , I'll suggest you to first read & understand basic terminology in Configuring Apps Printer like Printer Type, Style, Driver at http://becomeappsdba.blogspot.com/2006/09/printer-basics-in-oracle-apps-11i.html

    How to Register Printer in Oracle Apps ?
    First Printer which you want to configure should be able to print at Operating System Level from Concurrent Manager Machine.
    You can issue lp command. Don't proceed until you can print via Operating System command lp from CM node. Once printer is configured at O.S. Level , ask Unix System administrator name with which they have configured printer at O.S. Level.
    Collect printer type information, it should be like HP , APPLE , EPSON ...

    Login to Oracle Applications with System Administrator Responsibility & click on Install -> Printer -> Register then under Printer Tab enter name by which printer is defined at CM node at O.S. Level. In Type define type of printer like HP , EPSON , APPLE. In Description enter some sensible description . This completes registration of your printer on your Oracle Application.
    Now test this printer by submitting some request & selecting recently configured printer & you should be able to print.

    There are two other printing options in oracle apps using PASTA & XML . If I get request on printing using PASTA utility or XML utility then I'll discuss them in future .

    If you would like to find out version of any oracle apps component like Forms Version , Apps version , Jinitiator version , JDBC version, operating system version .. Then visit http://teachmeoracle.com/version.html If you kind find how to find version of any component in apps then drop me a mail.

      Atul,
      Why not discussing about PASTA and XML ?
      And what about operations which should be done to order to print at OS level ?

       
    • At 6:31 PM, Blogger Atul Kumar said…

    • At 3:17 PM, Blogger fhasweh said…

      dear atul,
      i have the following requerment, i have apps 11.5.10.2 installed on Unix server and the customer need to add printer but he dont want to manage the printer from unix is there a way to do so (not define the printer on unix and in the same time let the apps print on it)
      i mean to be able to print on the client machine printer (no printer will be define at the Apps server)

      any hint will be helpful
      fadi

       
    • At 7:23 PM, Blogger Atul Kumar said…

      Fadi, in that case you can't print from concurrent request screen. What you can do a work around is view output of report and from file menu give print out to any printer on desktop , this is something like printing from client machine and not via apps.

      In order to print report via apps (CM) printer should be defined at O.S. level on CM node and then defined in Apps.
