Frontend unavalable

[Former Member]

Hi,

WMTA output type is assigned to output delivery in our scenario. The transfer order is automatically created in the background. The TO is not printing immedietely at the printer. In SP02-SPool the error is the Spool is waiting. Manually when I print the Transfer order in LT31 its fine. Only printing of transfer orders automatically on creation is not happening

When I goto Sp02 it shows " Frontend unavilable"

SAP spool error log

Hi,

My SAP ECC6 server is located on Linux, and network printer located at client place on Windows system.

Do i need to configure network printer ? If yes what is the access method ?

I have selected L and then U which says "Unable to reach the remote host spool system"

I have sucessfully tested ping from SAP to Network printer .

Is any other solution.

you cannot use frontend printing when a job is sent in the background.
