Summary :
This SAP Note explains frontend printing, a process where print data is sent from the SAP GUI to a user’s local printer. Frontend printing allows for use of dynamic IP addresses and requires minimal backend setup, needing only a general printer definition without specifying names or IP addresses. From Basis Release 4.6C onwards, access method 'G' enables frontend printing on non-Windows and terminal server environments, replacing 'F', which ceases development post-4.6C. Implementing frontend printing involves setting up a general output device in transaction SPAD, observing necessary authorizations, and adapting to its limitations (e.g., unsuitability for large, time-sensitive documents and its dependence on an active GUI connection).
