LOCL printing issue

[Former Member]

We have a Device LOCL-UL in SPAD.

Device type is ZHANWIN

Host Spool Access Method: F

Host Printer: __DEFAULT

Users are complaining that when they print labels, sometime the print is getting delayed, even for 5 minutes, nothing is happening. Even restarting Print Spooler does not help.

Network team suggests that there is no issue from their side.

Please help to resolve.

Hello,

as David already said: do NOT use SAPlpd and access method F (I think it is unreliable for production purposes like printing labels for shipments/goods) but reconfigure your printer in SPAD to use access method G. All the code for G is integrated in SAPgui and should work immediately.

Regards,

Alex

Hello,

Please notice that:
SAPLPD will only be supported for frontend printing in Releases < 4.6C.

For all other Releases, please note the following:

_________________________Front-end printing___________________________
- For frontend printing, customers should use access method 'G'
instead of access method 'F'. See SAP note 821519 for more details.
Also fully review SAP note: 128105 Frontend printing (collective note).
___________________________________________________________________

_______________________Server based printing___________________________

- For server-based printing via access method 'S' or 'U', customers should use SAPSprint instead of SAPLPD. SAP Note 894444 has all the details. This is valid for ALL Releases.
Also be aware that SAPSprint should not be installed on frontend PCs!
It is a server tool only.
Acess method 'G' should be used instead of 'F' as mentioned.
_______________________________________________________________________

Please also have a look at the SAP note:
85469 Options for the SAPSprint print server tool
