      Hi Rudhra,

      According to the error message, you are using invalid Print User ID.

      Is "99994" the print user assigned to the print queue "Queue1" ?

      Like this:

      Hi Rudhra,

      PrintUUID is just a temp variable. You don't event have to use it.

      After CreatePrintQueueItem has been successfully processed, your PDF will be added to Queued Document of the print queue (in your case CustomForm)".

      Have you checked it in Queued Document?

      Printing from the print queue to the printer is handled by Print Manager.

      Please check Help Document : Set Up Printing Using the Print Manager

      Best Regards,

      Fred

      Hi Rudhra,

      1. You need to set "Save After Execution" in BOAction. Did you check it?

      2. Have you done setting up SAP Print Manager? Sometimes, SAP Print Manager works a bit strange. It set print tasks to "Processed" before the documents have been actually printed. Please also check your PDF in Processed Documents.

      Best Regards,

      Fred

      Hi Rudhra,

      1. Download SAP Print Manager from Download Center

      2. Install on a server  (just like we do for a print server) which needs to run 24/7.

      3. Configure Print Manager (Connecting Print Queue and Print Manager)

      Please check : Help Document : Set Up Printing Using the Print Manager in Help Center.


      Best Regards,

      Fred

      Dear Fred, Rudhra

       

      Could you please share your idea that why the document name always be "Test Print Page"?

       

      I have tried to change it several times but not success.

       

       

      Best Regards,

      Hi @Rudhra Udayakumar/Fred K,

      How do you change the document name?

      I'm able to send PDFs to my print queue but document names are always blank even though I tried setting the names.

      Regards,

      Tri
