Hello All,
I have my SAP Running on SUSE Linux,My desktop is on Windows.
I have configured Front end printer it is working fine and is generating spool request and i am able to print the desired output.
Now we need to configure the new network printer which is IP based, i am able to ping the ip address from my sap server host.
I have created a new Printer in SPAD with access method as
S: Print Using SAP Protocol
Host printer : _Default
Destination host : My printer ip address and port.
When i save and test the connection it say " Remote host spool system available " .
Since i am doing it for the first time am i right with all the configurations, my SAP is on Linux and GUI is on windows am i using the correct access method
" S " or should i use " U ".
when i do a print it is generating the spool request but with an error " Output device unavailable "
in Logs
SAP spool error log | |
===================== |
Print request processing log
The host spool is reporting errors
(SAP)LPD cannot accept request (Queue __DEFAULT disabled?)
Unable to connect to output processor
please Help me in moving forward
Thanks in Advance ,
Vardhan.
Hi Vardhan,
You may do the following.
1) Install the network printer onto your desktop/laptop.
2) Make this printer a default printer
3) In SPAD , define a frontend Printer using type F or G.
4) You can test the printing from SAP.
Hope this helps.

Deepak Kori

Hi Deepak Kori
Thanks for your reply
Front end printing is working using access method F and G.
We need to use this access method S or U.
As my SAP servers and printer , me are in two different countries.
we don't want to install printer driver on every users Desktop/Laptops.
My SAP is running on Linux and My GUI on Windows am i using the correct access method S please confirm
Thanks,
Vardhan.

can any one please help me what i am missing.
i Don't see any updated in SAPLPD on print server
Thanks,
Vardhan.
My issue got resolved
All My configurations were correct.
to generate the correct output we also need to check
.1. Default printer configured on spool server is the same printer we are using over network or not if you have two different printers (*in my case)
2. For Further logs check C:\Program Files \SAP\SAPSPrint\Logs directory on spool server (*On windows)
Thanks,
Vardhan.
