Hi all,

While i am trying to configure printer ,the spool n output requests r been created but it says 'Unable to reach the remote host spool system'.

I am unable to get where i am goin wrong.

Unable to reach the remote host spool system

Message no. PO537

Diagnosis

The SAP spool system cannot connect to the host spool system to which the requests for this output device are to be sent.

System Response

Requests sent to this output device cannot be proccessed. They remain in status Waiting.

Procedure

This message usually means that the host you specified under destination host (Host spool access method tab) is either down, or the transfer program SAPLPD (or LPD) is not running on the host.

Procedure for System Administration

Check to determine whether the destination host is on, or whether SAPLPD (or LPD) is running.

Ya it clearly says to SAPLPD isnt running....

Plz tell me how can v make SAPLPD running n how to check the same?

Plzzzzzz Help.

Thanks,

Malti

it may be a matter of the extremly bad design of SPAD gui,

that forces to maintain data with error, e.g. missing LPD-PortNo.

hi malti

Please Check the access method of printer is frontend or not then check the lan connection of target. if some problem in saplpd then u have to down load saplpd program from sap portal it totally free. so stry to upgrade the saplpd program up to current release.
