Hi,

all printing has previously worked, but now suddenly the following error occurs when printing using the LOCL printer (Device Type: SAPWIN, Access Method: G)

Status test: "Frontend unavailable"

SP01 Log:

-

SAP spool error log

=====================

Print request processing log

The host spool is reporting errors

dev_PrintTrace log includes the following info:

-

username calld = batch =

2009-09-01 11:15:18 CONTROL_CREATE failed with sy-subrc 1

username calld = batch =

-

When printing with a printer with device type PDF1, and access method F through SAP GUI for Windows the SPAD status "Incorrect" occurs, but no info in the log.

The above PDF1-printer works perfectly through SAP GUI for HTML.

Scheduled printing through GUI for Windows with Device Type Post2 and Access Method U aslo works fine.

Any ideas for how to solve is very appreciated!

Thanks

Hm, no there is no scheduling going on. I get this by simply using Tx SPAD, Display Output Devices, Print this list, and selecting the LOCL printer.

Update: Regular frontend printing - i.e. not through scheduling - also works fine with Device Type Post2 and Access Method U.

Have you recently changed your GUI version? There may have been some updates as to how the front-end printing is made there. If so, can you check with an older version just to be sure?
