Summary :
Print jobs in SAP R/3 are marked as FAULTY, with system logs showing "Connection to SAPLPD/LPD cannot be established." This issue does not cover cases where requests remain in the spool in "Waits" status but specifically addresses requests marked as "Error.” Causes include network issues or incorrect R/3 configuration. The formatting computer handles spool processing and sends data to the switching computer for printing. Recommended steps include verifying switching computer type, checking network connections with commands like "ping" and "ftp," configuring the printer as a remote device, and ensuring SAPSprint or LPD is running. Detailed logs and test results should be provided to SAP Support if the problem persists.
