[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am trying to print locally(LOCL)  from  SAP. But after saplpd starts i get the following message,

Also i also check the solution as suggested on  SDN

for the output device you are using check the values entered for fields "Host spool access method" & "Host Printer".

If the access method is "F-printing on frontend", then the expected value for the Host Printer is "__DEFAULT" two underscores

But we alread have the above setting for the output device !!!

Has any faced the similar issue before ?

Thanks in Advance,

Hello harsha,

Even i have faced & facing the same problem.In SPAD, try to change the Access method option to 'G' from 'F'.

As Access method 'F' is used for release > 4.6c.

Follow SNOTE: 821519.

You need to follow few Prerequisite like upgrading SAP GUI patch,SAP_BASIS support package, Dependent Kernel patch, 

Please let me know after it get resolved.

Thanks & Regards,

On your desktop printer name should not contain spaces. Thus rename your 'CutePDF Writer' printer

hi kathia,

for local printing:

you can call transaction spad -> look for host spooler acces methode > if you use F for Frontendprinting then the value should be for the printer __default .

check the default printer on you frontend, are you able to print from your desktop ?

check the saplpd version/patch

check the sapgui version/patch

do you use citrix or somthing else?

Hi Julius,

the solution that you have mentioned  I already had check and mentioned in the post !!

Yes from  desktop I am able to print it .

I think the issue is the length of printer name on the client system its more than 40 characters.

Can you let kindly let me from where should i check the saplpd version /patch ?

Thanks for the reply

hi haresh,

dependent on your sap-release you could also use the asessmethode G=frontend print with controls in spad!

this will work, i'am not sure but since 6.20, note:Note 821519 - Front-end printing with control technology

@saplpd:

here you get the newest saplpd version, as attachement on this note:

Note 328252 - Support Packages for SAPLPD and LPRINTG

to get the version of saplpd:

go to the installationdirectory of the saplpd.exe and read the file slpdread.txt!

example.:

  README File for SAPLPD Version 6.29

example: C:\Program Files\SAP\FrontEnd\SAPgui\SAPlpd

a usefull note for changing saplpd with sapsprint:

Note 894444 - Tool for server-based printing on Windows (SAPSprint)
