As of SAP Web AS 6.20, front-end printing with control technology (access method G) is available, which replaces the traditional type of front-end printing with SAPlpd (access method F) for printing using the WTS. Front-end printing with control technology has the following advantages:
· It is significantly easier to configure and runs more stably.
· SAPlpd is no longer required as a separate process.
· The environment variable LP_CMD is no longer required in Windows Terminal Server environments.
For information about setting up front-end printing with control technology, see the section Front-End Printing with Control Technology (Access Method G).
