The PRINTER statement specifies the name of a printer to be used by Oracle Applications.

Supported Job Types

This statement is optional for the following job types:

• Oracle E-Business Suite Request Set
• Oracle E-Business Suite Single Request

Syntax

This statement has the following format:

PRINTER printer_name

printer_name

Specifies the name of a printer that Oracle Applications can print to. This printer must be defined in Oracle Applications. In Oracle Applications, the printer name is specified as a request definition option and is found in the Printer column of the Upon Completion dialog.

Limits: Up to 30 characters; case-sensitive

Notes:

• Enclose values that contain delimiters (such as spaces) in double quotation marks.
• Your agent administrator can specify a default printer for all Oracle E-Business Suite Request Set or Single Request jobs by setting the oa.default.printer parameter in the agent's agentparm.txt file.
• The PRINTER statement overrides the default setting specified in the oa.default.printer parameter in the agent's agentparm.txt.
• In an Oracle E-Business Suite Request Set job, you can specify the printer for an individual program in the request set by using the PROGPRINTER statement. This statement overrides the PRINTER statement for that particular program.
