Local Connection to a Windows NT Printer
A printer is local when the SAP spool server can pass output requests to the Windows spool system directly without having to send the data across a network. That is, the SAP spool server is running on the Windows PC to which the printer is attached.
Prerequisite: An R/3 application server that offers the spool service must be running on the Windows NT system.
