U or S PC with Windows

95/98/NT4/2000 (requires SAPlpd running)
Destination Host (Like the name of the target PC / print server)
This is not required for F-Front End Printing as the destination host is the client PC that
the print request was made from (requires SAPlpd running).
For U or S, This must be the Host Name of the PC that will have SAPlpd running on it or
the Host Name of a dedicated Print Server with print queues setup. The easiest way to
determine the host name of a PC is to run SAPlpd and you will find it near the top of the
start up window. SAPlpd can be started by selecting Start-> Programs-> SAP Frontend->
SAPlpd.
This parameter is not required for L or C as the local server is the destination host.
Host Printer (Like the name of the target print queue on a PC or print server)
When using F, U or S with SAPlpd, this could be “__DEFAULT” (underscore
underscore DEFAULT) for the Default Windows printer or it could be the exact name of
the printer (not the share name), i.e., “Generic / Text Only”. This is the name listed in
Windows->Start->Settings->Printers.
When using L or C this is the “long name” of the printer. This is not the share name.
LPQ Format
This can be ignored.
Location
This is just an optional simple description/comment of where the printer is located.
Message

Business Suite server and sending it to printers on the local PC. The printers on the local
PC MUST use a generic text driver.
SAPlpd can be started by selecting Start-> Programs-> SAP Frontend-> SAPlpd. You
should see a screen similar to the following:
