Go to transaction SPAD.

Enter the output device and check "Host spool system access method".

In general that is not very very difficult, when needed check the help or use printer local. That should work when needed to just print something.

HI,

In most cases, the SAP System already provides the appropriate device type for the printer type for the printer model that you want to use.

These standard device types are completely defined and need no modification or extension before you use them in device definitions.

· You can also download missing device types from the sapserv server. For a current list of the supported device types, see SAP Note 8928 in the SAP Service Marketplace.

· Most printers can be controlled using a generic format, such as PostScript. They can be switched to a mode that is compatible with one of the standard printers for which an SAP device type is available. In this case, a supported model is emulated.

· Almost all printers are delivered with Microsoft Windows printer drivers. The system can control these printers with the generic (device-independent) device type SWIN. The Microsoft Windows spool system then performs the processing of the print data.

· If the specified device types are not available, and generic device types cannot be used, you must create your own device type or edit a copy of an existing device type. We recommend that only those with specialist knowledge of the SAP Spool System and printer driver code do this.

if you want to define a new device type
