Hi,

printing PDF is possible if you have a PDF-capable printer or you use SAPSprint with the optional pdflib (which prints PDFs via Windows printer driver).

You cannot do the same with the formats you mentioned, no printer understands XLS or JPG directly. You would need 3rd party software to print these documents. Many years ago a certifiable interface called BC-XDC was created to support printing some of these formats, check out SAP note 562518
