HI Sriram,

Assigning Ip address is ok but that ip should be reachable from server .we have server in one country &printer in another country so two diff network.

so don't we need to do anything from network side ?

Also we need to open 515 port in sap router?

Any entry on print server?  how prinwill ever will come to know about Sap server?

Hi Vinay

1 . Assigning Ip address is ok but that ip should be reachable from server .we have server in one country &printer in another country so two diff network.

IP & Port 515 should allow in WAN area

2. Also we need to open 515 port in sap router?

515 port is SAP Sprint service, you have to enable in WAN area

3. Any entry on print server?  how prinwill ever will come to know about Sap server?

By using the 515 port it will communicate from SAP System is spool server to host spool server (that is on SAP SPrint service running )

First do the configuration on the local network, check the sample printouts and then try for WAN area.

In my environment we have more than 500 printers are configured in LAN & WAN area.
