Modifying the print profile for SAP

- In the appropriate fields, specify these values, and click Check in the upper left corner to save the values. You will return
to the screen two more times to add rspo/host_spool/query, and rspo/host_spool/answer_format
values:
- Parameter name:
-
rspo/host_spool/print
- Parameter val:
-
ipm_print -P &P -F &F -O '&O' -o '&o' -R '&R' -C &C -Y '&Y' -T "&T" -D "&D" -t '&t' - Parameter name:
-
rspo/host_spool/query
- Parameter val:

rspo/host_spool/query=ipm_query -P&P
- Parameter name:
-
rspo/host_spool/answer_format
- Parameter val:
-
rspo/host_spool/answer_format=lpstat
Note: For the rspo/host_spool/print values, some parameters are in single quotation marks ('&o') and some are in double quotation marks ("&T"). - Specify the Check icon in the upper left corner to save
this data.
The SAP system responds by providing a display that demonstrates how this print profile has been changed. Note the two highlighted sections to see the ipm_print and ipm_query SAP clients:

To save these print profile changes, be sure you check yes for the dialog box about the parameter change.
- Then make sure that you click yes for the dialog box about
the profile change.
Note: If you neglect to specify yes for both dialog boxes, the SAP system might not save your changes.
Once you verify these changes to the print profile, SAP R/3 might display this message, which you can ignore:
- Once you have notified the other SAP R/3 application users, click Save and restart (bounce) the R/3 application servers.
Once you have completed these procedures, you can create devices to print from your SAP R/3 system, using InfoPrint Manager to drive the printers. Use the procedure for Defining SAP devices to send jobs to InfoPrint Manager.
