Hi Aishash,

Please go to tcode SPAD.

Create a new printer as Local, short name you can give as LOCL.

You can choose Device Type as HPLJ4 (or whatever is available).

Device class will be "Standard Printer".

In "Access Method" tab, in Host Spool Access Method: choose F:Printing on frontend computer.

And Host Printer: __default.

Other fields you can leave as it is or you can fill it.

Let us know if you face any problem.

Regards,

Sujit.

hi mr srikrishnan,

thanks for your reply. i have made it and putting host printer as _DEFAULT. so that it will print my default printer on our internal pc. and putting access method C. but now the error is incorrect (error when sending data) i saw formatting is INCH11. now you think what was the problem?

thanks
