Network printer configuration in windows

[Former Member]

Hi All,

we are on win2k3 withECC 6.0 and sqlserver 2005, i have created the new printer thru spad and added in the user workstation as network printer from add printer option .

For one workstation we add by logging in the system , but for more than 50 or more workstations is there any way to add the printer .

Please suggest..

Thanks,

I'm not sure if I understand your question.

The idea of an network printer is to create it centrally in e g ECC.

There's no need to do anything at the workstation.

I can imagine that 50 users might not share the very same network printer so there might be more network printers in the system.

Then it's a matter of setting the correct default printer for each user.

unless you have 50 users, all with local printers connected to their workstations.

Then I suggest that you invest in a couple of network printers instead of using front-end printing technology.

You must of course configure the printer once on a server. The spool server can be the SAP system, it can also be a different server in your domain (if the SAP System runs in an AD domain).
