Printing Labels from SAP R/3 2009

of the standard available connection types in SAP R/3 (local print on the application server/removed

print via lpd server/removed print via Windows PC and SAPlpd/frontend print).

Your thermal printer must be connected to one of the available output channels for print output.

Possible methods are:

Output channel Access Method

Local printing on the application server L, C

Remote printing via lpd host U

Remote printing via PC and SAPlpd U, P

It would be easiest to connect the printer to a Windows PC and install NiceDriver Windows printer

driver. Then start the output program SAPlpd. You can then define the printer with access method “P”

or “U” in the spool administration (Transaction SPAD).
