Check Printing with multiple printers

[Barry_Wallace]

I have a question for the community, but I suspect I know that answer already.  I have a customer going live in a few weeks and they have asked about the ability to print checks from multiple locations.  The customer has a printer in their office, but they are looking at getting a second printer for the AP clerk to be able to print checks from home as well, since that person works remotely most of the time.

With the SAP Cloud Print Manager, is it possible to have more than 1 printer setup for check printing?  If so, can that user print checks from home (when working remotely) OR print checks from the office (when in the office)?

Thanks,

Yes it is possible, in SPAD - Spool Administration  you need to create output device with the following settings 

Host Spool Access Method: G: Front end printing with control tech
or 
Host Spool Access Method: L: Print Locally using LP/LPR

both options should work 

Host Printer: _DEFAULT

this will direct the SAP to the client local printer  not the printers on application server.

Hi Yasin,

I should have mentioned in my question that this is for SAP Business ByDesign.  Does your solution work with ByDesign?

Thanks,
