How To Fix TD366 - Output cannot be redirected to this printer (see long text)

TD366 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: TD - SAPscript: Text editor, composer, forms, styles and fonts

• Message number: 366

• Message text: Output cannot be redirected to this printer (see long text)

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.
