Navigation and Forms that will be used while configuring printers

Printer types > Navigate - Install - Printer - Types FNDPRTYP
Printer > Navigate -Install - Printer - Register FNDPRMPR
Print Styles > Navigate - Install - Printer - Style FNDPRRPS
Printer Driver > Navigate - Install - Printer - Driver FNDPRMPD

The following steps to setup printer(s) should be performed in the following
order:
1. Printer types > Navigate - Install - Printer - Types

This window defines a printer type for the new printer.
Any name can be defined, as this field is not a unique id code.

An example for a line printer, name it "LINE" or "LN03" for the model number
of the printer. This name will be associated to the actual printer name when
registering the printer to Oracle Applications.

2. Printer > Navigate -Install - Printer - Register

A printer type must be defined before a new printer can be registered. The
value for printer name will be the operating system printer name.
Then choose the printer type that was defined in the previous step.

3. Printer types > Navigate - Install - Printer - Types

This form is again needed to associate the below printer styles to the
printer type that was defined above.

4. Print Styles > Navigate - Install - Printer - Style

If defining new styles specifically for the new printer, it would be done
here. Please review manual for the specific parameters needed to be defined.
Oracle Applications reports are designed to work with standard shipped styles:

Portrait
Landscape
Landwide
A4
Dynamic Portrait

It is allowed to point to the seeded styles, but for customized
reports, it maybe needed to create a new printer style to accommodate
the custom report(s).

5. Printer Driver > Navigate - Install - Printer - Driver

Oracle does provide the printer drivers for the above Styles, so unless adding
new styles, it should not be required to define one right now.

If defining a new one, must specify a unique printer driver name and a unique
user name for a given platform.

6. Lastly, if any new updates or changes have been made to any of the printer
definitions, the concurrent managers must be bounced to have all changes
take effect.
