    Matching user name with Equitrac ID

    Hi there,

    I need help here...
    I have been trying to integrate SAP printing with Equitrac.
    Here is what I have found out so far but unfortunately, I am still stuck.

    On SAP end, they are able to place the user name in the job title. (Please see attachment.)
    Hence, I thought of using EQXLPD to capture the user name and match it with Equitrac user ID. The user name and Equitrac user ID is different. However, I was told that only the owner properties, in this case SYSTEM, can be modified by EQXLPD.

    Next, I thought of adding the init string in the SAP print initialization, which will look like:
    # enter PJL mode and switch to PCL language
    \e%-12345X@PJL\r\n
    @PJL SET HOSTLOGINNAME="$(BENUTZER)"\r\n
    @PJL ENTER LANGUAGE=PCL\r\n
    # reset
    \eE
    In the Follow-You Printing, you can retrieve the user name from PJL setting HOSTLOGINNAME. However, this user name is different from the Equitrac user ID. So, I have no idea how to match it together.

    Of course, the clear way is to use LOCL but the organization needs to go through a print server and not by local printing.

    If anyone has any idea on workarounds to this issue, I am all ears and I need help desperately.

    Thank you.

                  I have seen this website but it did not tell me a solution because the SAP user id is different from the Equitrac ID.

                    Equitrac is usually helpful / if they have no answer -Call a reliable Canon service trained tech
