SAP Note 13376 - Spooler prints slowly or has stuck entries

Component : Spool System -

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/13376 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
Output from the spooler is delayed or displays stuck entries due to various causes such as slow data transfer to remote printers, direct network connections of printers, and connection problems. Specific scenarios include output devices using connection type "U" or "S", networked printers, failed connection attempts causing a 60-second wait, and individual unprocessed requests due to server communication issues. Solutions include enabling the host spooler to forward print requests, distributing tasks across application servers, ensuring network-compatible printers are served by the host spooler, and scrutinizing system logs for errors. For instance, configuring printers as remote printers in UNIX systems using tools like SAM or SMIT can enhance handling.
