  • What causes this issue?

    You tried to output a SAPscript spool request to an output device to
    which another device type is assigned than that for which the spool
    request was originally created.

    System Response

    The system does not allow the output to be redirected to this output
    device since the printout would be partially or completely incorrect due
    to the different device type.
    The SAPscript spool data already contains printer-specific information
    (e.g names of print controls for font selection), which would cause
    incorrect fonts (too large, too small, other font type) in the printout
    if it was redirected to another device type. For this reason, you are
    not allowed to redirect output to a device type with a different printer
    driver.
    If a spool request is redirected to a PostScript printer (device type
    POSTSCPT), PostScript errors (syntax errors) can occur leading to a
    termination of printing if certain print controls are missing.

    How to fix this error?

    Create a new spool request from the application used and assign the
    output device (printer) you require there.
