SAPlpd for Printers and Fax Devices
To reach the spool system and printers on a remote Windows system, the SAP spool system must work with a process that runs externally to the SAP System. This process is the R/3 transfer (or SAPlpd) program.
This section explains how to set up the SAPlpd program on a Windows PC. For an explanation of how SAPlpd works on your network, see
Implementing R/3 PC Printing . 
SAPlpd.EXE and associated files may be updated between R/3 Releases. You can obtain the newest version from the SAPNet servers (SAPSERV4 for the USA, for example) by FTP from directory /general/frontend/saplpd. You can find out about the newest features of SAPlpd by choosing Help

You can also use the TCP/IP print server under Windows NT instead of SAPlpd, but only for access method U and not for device type SWIN.
