A brief post for a little trick I used lately… The scenario was: the client have to print via sap but the printer isn’t neither connected to sap server nor a network printer. The method I adopted is SAPSprint, a sap windows utility that transform the pc where is connected the printer to a printer server compatible with sap. Once you installed SAPSprint there’s only a pair of step to complete:
- Share the printer from the windows sharing;
- Create a new printer on SAP, via Tx SPAD, with those parameters:
- On DeviceAttributes Tab:
Device Type – SAPWIN
Device Class – Standard Printer
- On Access Method Tab:
Host Spool Access Method: S: print using SAP protocol
Host Printer: <network shared printer path> (i.e.: \\PC12\SHAREDPRINTER)
Destination host: <name of the pc sharing the printer> (i.e.: PC12)
