The first step is to login to the OAM environment as the SYSADMIN user and to navigate to the System Administrator responsibility.
Now we need to setup the printer by register the device.
We enter the settings for the printer in the flexfields above.
As such you need to enter the values for the printer driver and print type.
We enter the values for the HP Laserprinter below
Next we need to configure the HP printer with the correct driver as shown below.
As part of the print driver configuration for the Oracle R12 EBS environment,
we have additional print considerations. For example, the Driver Method comes into play
depending on the command, program or subroutine used with the printer.
We also have Driver Method Parameters that allow us to spool file or generate
print output to standard input as shown below.
OK so now that we have configured our printer, we need to run some post-configuration tests to verify that it works. Fortunately, Oracle EBS provides a suite of utilities and diagnostic tests for us with Release 12.
To run these tests, you need to switch to the System Administration responsibility for OAM and navigate to Diagnostics-> Diagnostic Tests as shown below.
Under the basic tab for the Application Object Library, select RunALL
to generate diagnostics for the environment.
We have covered the basics of printer setup and for future reference, Oracle provides many excellent tips on advanced configuration such as PASTA setup with Oracle R12 EBS.

Once you run the test for the pasta printer, Oracle Diagnostics will generate an HTML file report to display the configuration details and status report for the printers.
