Example: Local Printing

Assume that you have a Windows NT PC named SAP002. You want to use SAP002 as the server for printing R/3 output. The available output devices include the local printer SAP002P and the shared network printer \\SAP003\SAP003P.

To implement this printing configuration you would need to do the following:

Ensure that R/3 application server SAP002_C11_11 offers the spool service. You can do this by editing the application server definition in the Computing Center Management System (CCMS).

In the SAP002 print manager, define SAP002P and \\SAP003\SAP003P as printers. SAP002P is a local printer. SAP003P is a shared remote printer.

The SAP System accesses both printers by passing output requests to the print manager in SAP002.

Create definitions for these printers in the SAP spool system (Tools ® CCMS ® Spool ® Spool administration and Output devices).

The local printer is named SAP002P. The remote printer is defined as SAP003P. SAP002_ C11_11 is the spool server for both printers.

For the NT host system in this example, enter C (direct operating system call) as the host spool access method. If the host were a UNIX system, the access method would be L (Print locally via LP/LPR with signal).
