Virtual printer

Hi, How can i output a to a local drive on my pc or a network drive. I have created a virtual printer on SAP but not sure what command to save to my local drive.

i have setup a printer with Host spool access method L, with the host printer pointing to IP address of my PC.

Thanks

U don't need to insert the IP address, because the local printer has to work for every PC.

Insert __DEFAULT as HOST and F (FRONT END) as Host spool access method

Thanks Max for the quick response.

I have a separate test printer setup with Host spool access method F. It works fine, but i need to be able to automate this process without the user having to enter a file location.

Basically, i need to output a PCL file to an external location

We finally resolved this. All that is required is to set up SAP printer as Host spool access method C, then enter file path to network folder.

All that is required is to set up SAP printer as Host spool access method C,(direct operating system call) then enter file path to network folder.
