To setup SAP to communicate directly with the printer, do the following:
1. Access method U.
2. Host Printer PORTLF1.
3. Destination Host Your Printers IP Address.
Host Printer (such as the name of the target print queue on a PC or print
server) When using F, U, or S with SAPlpd, this could be “__DEFAULT” (underscore
underscore DEFAULT) for the Default Windows printer or it could be the exact name of the
printer (not the share name), such as “Generic / Text Only”. This is the name listed in
Windows >Start > Settings > Printers.
When using L or C this is the “long name” of the printer. This is not the share name.
LPQ Format This can be ignored.
Location This is just an optional simple description or comment of where the printer is
located.
Message This is just an optional simple comment or message that you can associate with the
specific print queue.
SAP LPD If you have chosen to use access methods F, U, or S, then you need to run SAPlpd
on the local PC (this is assuming you are not using U with a print server, such as ZebraNet II or
ZebraNet 10/100).
SAPlpd is a proprietary print server that runs on a PC taking input from the mySAP Business
Suite™ server and sending it to printers on the local PC. The printers on the local PC normally
use a generic text driver. This could be any driver as SAPlpd sends the data in pass through
mode. This means that you can use a Zebra or generic text driver.
