The best way is to define the printer on linux level.

Then define a printer in SAP (transaction spad) using the print method L. You will directly send your print request from SAP to the Linux queue. It works very well for me.

hi,

what's SAP version you are using ?

I am using SAP R/3 4.7 ext 2.00 and have Basis patch level 52 (minimumly), I am able to use SAP Front end printing.

You can use Access Method : G : Frontend print with control technologie

and also Host Printer : __DEFAULT
