Summary :
This SAP Note provides guidelines for enabling printing from an SAP application server to a Linux print server using CUPS facilitated by the LPD Berkeley Protocol. "inetd" or "xinetd" services must be installed and configured on the Linux server for proper function. Setup involves configuring the "cups-lpd" daemon as per the instructions in the CUPS Administrator Manual. Successful connection via "telnet" to port 515 confirms correct setup. Finish the process by configuring the SAP application server in transaction SPAD with settings for remote UNIX printing (access method U as documented on the SAP Help Portal).
