Summary :
To troubleshoot formatting or printer issues in SAP R/3, users should capture formatted data as it exits the system. This can be achieved through multiple methods: Method 1 involves creating a printer queue in the operating system to print to a file, then setting up an SAP output device linked to this queue. Method 2 entails activating logging for print outputs in the system using SPAD transaction to facilitate debugging. Method 3 prevents deletion of print files by modifying settings in the 'Debugger' section of SPAD to 'Keep print file'. Additionally, users should refer to SAP Notes 6753, 161516, and 576973 for further guidance on file printing concepts. Deactivation of logging or debug features is necessary post-diagnosis to avoid system clutter.
