In the SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud, printing to output device %WIN is working as expected for most users.
When printing from SAPgui, enter output device %WIN.
From the drop-down list Front End printer, select from the list of printers configured on your Windows computer.
Result: The printout is sent to the printer.

If %WIN is not successful, %FE1 or WLOC are available.
For output device %FE1, PostScript drivers may be needed.
- Windows 64-bit machines may require that print drivers be signed. Check vendor support for your printer to ascertain whether signed post script print drivers are available for your printer.
Output device WLOC may be more successful for some printer models.
- With WLOC, users may see issues with printouts at the margins of the Detailed Transaction Report (DTR).
- The far right margin or the bottom 1/4 inch of the page may be cut off.
- The content of the DTR does print successfully.
- In the above cases, printing to Adobe PDF, then printing the generated PDF, enables the DTR to print as expected.
In some cases, an extra page is printed, with a single line listing the cost object.
- As a workaround, in order to avoid printing the extra page, print first to Adobe PDF, then print only the desired page(s) of the generated PDF.
