Hi All,

i'm printing a form in background job.

i've passed the print parameters with submit for immediate printing from spool.

but the output is created in the spool with status 'Frontend Unavailable'.

the default printer 'LOCL' has also been configured and connected to the system.

there are multiple application servers.

kindly help resolving the issue.

regards

Prabhu

Use an actual printer, LOCL is you local printer (ie default printer on windows on your terminal/PC)

IN background the printer should be known by the application server not your terminal/PC.

but LOCL is also listed in the list of printers connected to the application server.

so is it like, we need to specify the application server to which this printer is connected.

Look at SPAD, what is the definition of the printer, if you find a link to windows, you cannot use it in background. (SAPWIN device where WIN stand for windows)

LOCL is (standard) the local printer attached to workstation, using it is through a submitted program from the workstation (SAPLPD.exe).
