Sap Lpd

Driving Zebra Printers from Smart Forms

U or S

PC with Windows® 95/98/NT4/2000 (requires SAPlpd running)

Destination Host (Like the name of the target PC / print server)

This is not required for F-Front End Printing as the destination host is the client PC that the print request was made from (requires SAPlpd running).

For U or S, This must be the Host Name of the PC that will have SAPlpd running on it or the Host Name of a dedicated Print Server with print queues setup. The easiest way to determine the host name of a PC is to run SAPlpd and you will find it near the top of the start up window. SAPlpd can be started by selecting Start-> Programs-> SAP Frontend-> SAPlpd.

This parameter is not required for L or C as the local server is the destination host.

Host Printer (Like 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), i.e., “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/comment of where the printer is located.

Message

This is just an optional simple comment/message that you may wish to associate with the specific print queue.

If you have chosen to use access methods F then you will have to run SAPlpd on the local PC.

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 MUST use a generic text driver.

SAPlpd can be started by selecting Start-> Programs-> SAP Frontend-> SAPlpd. You should see a screen similar to the following:
