We have a requirement to change output device settings on the fly in a program. For instance, in case A, we would like to use the output device as it was originally configured in SPAD. However, in case B, we would like to override the output device's access method and host dynamically in code.
Is there any function module or technique that can change these output device properties via code at runtime (printtime)?

By default you will get the output device which you have configured in SPAD.

If you want different output device then you need to write write ABAP code and Pass the required output device during runtime. While calling the function module that is generated after creating the smartform you need to pass the Output device name to the control parameters and output parameters. 

Try out this.. The "wa_output_options-tddest = 'LOCL'." is the output device name..

p_output_options-TDCOPIES = 3. "number of copies.

p_output_options-tddest = 'LP01'. "def

p_output_options-TDIMMED = 'X'.

p_output_options-tddelete = 'X'.

p_output_options-TDIMMED = ' '.

p_output_options-tddest = 'LP01'.

p_output_options-TDNEWID = 'X'.

wa_ctrl-no_dialog = 'X'.

deactivate the popup window

p_control_parameters-no_dialog = 'X'. "no dilog box

p_control_parameters-preview = 'X'.  "no preview

wa_output_options-tdimmed = 'X'.

wa_output_options-tddelete = 'X'.

wa_output_options-tdimmed = ' '.

wa_output_options-tddest = 'LOCL'.

wa_ctrl-no_dialog = 'X'.
