Summary :
SAP recommends using the new front-end printing mechanism in Windows Terminal Server environments as outlined from release 4.6C onwards. Specifically designed for WTS setups, this method improves printing effectiveness and stability. Users must ensure they have the latest Support Packages and Kernel Patches installed. The note details the necessity of adapting the system-wide environment variable LP_CMD and ensuring paths do not contain spaces unless explicitly handled. For troubleshooting, it directs checking this variable in the DOS shell. Key references include SAP Notes 821519, 128105, and 328252 for further information and updates on this topic.
