SAP printing strategy

[Former Member]

Hi all

I have couple of questions for general printing used

1. My dear customer has some odd 3200 printers for production systems

I would like to know what will be best practice to have all this printer configured

2. We have some third pary software called DAZEL where all printer are configured and used with production system

But the administation of this becomes difficult and not somthing SAP BASIS related ,hence knowledge is limited

3. I would like to know if I can configure this with some printer server or on SAP CI host and use almost all printers without any problem by creating print queue on unix and using spad

I really appreciate your views on this

Hi Ganesh,

There are some options for printing in SAP. But generally one of the best solution is defining printers in spad and using U: Using Berkeley Protokol. Firstly What you must do is to define all the printers in sm55 transaction in THOST table. and you must use this SAP name in spad. For Device types you can use I9HP4.

Thanks
