Can't printing in front-end when implement LOCL access method 'G'

[kuen_cheng]

We are implementing ECC5.0 and print Purchase Order in normal status.But in recent,user print PO by long printer name with some trouble.So we check the notes,and it recommand us to implement access method 'G'.It seems every thing is OK on front-end printing.Still not work for printing PO on front-end output immediate.If we choose short printer name and access method 'F',it work fine.But SAP will no longer develop method 'F'.Please advise it.

Did you find any solution on this?

I am implemention new type "G" too right now and it ends in the GUI communication. I have quite the latest patch level so it should work fine.

Any ideas why it does not print with type "G" ?

No,I haven't got the solution for PO printing.But we have an alternative.When we want to print PO,SO....we should use type "F" instead.Thanks for your reply.

SAP PO is using background printing. SAP frontend print doesn't support background printing.

As per SAP Frontend document, You cannot perform front-end printing in the background, as there is not connection to the front end.

For this, you need to configure network printer.
