Hi Nilesh,

SAPLPD is used when you print via a windows device type like SAPWIN. This ustilizes the windows print driver on the remote windows print server or the frontend PC.

SAPLPD is now obselete. For Access Method S, you should use SAPSprint.(see SAP Note #894444) The SAPSprint is installed on the server as a service so there is nothing that has to be started manually.

Hi Aiden ,

Thanks for your quick reply .

My requirement is like :

I am having one zbra barcode printer which is connected to a workstation .

Now whenever i have to print my barcode form own program , i need to check that weather that system's LPD is open

or not .

Generally we will open that through widows : start -> All programfile->SAP Frontend ->SAP Printer Daemon .

So now i don't want the above manual process , Just my program directly send my barcode file to SAP ComPort .

Thanks 'n' Regards ,

Hi Nilesh,

Which device type do you use? if you use a windows device type like SAPWIN or SWIN, then there must be a windows system used between SAP and the printer as it utilizes the windows printer driver. But as I said, the sapsprint utility can be installed as a service so there is no need to manually start.

If you use a native device type for Zebra like LZEB2, then you can use Access Method U without windpws server or frontend PC.

Hi Aidan ,

Thaks for your reply .

My requirement is :

" Whenever user scan a UPC no. into SAP System ( or our SAP Prog) should not create any Spool Request for barcode

printing , it directly pass data to SAP Comport and print label "

Because there thousands of UPC can be scan so thousands of spool will stored into SAP System , which decrease the

performance plus extra space will consume by system .

Is that possbile without creating a Spool data directly send to printer .

Thanks 'n' Regards ,
