Defining Printer in Oracle Applications We will use default definitions of Printer Drivers, Print Styles and Printer Types as most of the drivers of common printer are already provided by Oracle in Oracle Applications. In case you have a printer of which drivers are not defined then you will have to provide information on these screens. 2.1. Login as XX_USER and switch to SYSADMIN responsibility, Sysadmin : Install > Printer > Driver 2.2. To define Printer Drivers the SRW Driver will be used while defining Print Styles so keep in mind while entering information in this field. The Arguments, Initialization and Reset settings will be available in the printer manual or ask your hardware vendor. 2.3. To define Printer Style open the Style screen, Sysadmin : Install > Printer > Style 2.4. Provide Style Name, SRW Driver and other required information. 2.5. The next step is to define Printer Type. Sysadmin : Install > Printer > Types 2.6. Provide Style defined earlier. 2.7. Now we will define the printer by providing Printer name which we configured on Linux machine. Sysadmin : Install > Printer > Register 2.8.
