SAP Note 360718 - SAPLPD: No write authorization for work directory

Component : Printer Control via Frontend PC -

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/360718 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
Users are unable to print via SAPLPD due to a lack of write permissions in the specified work directory, leading to an “errno=13” error, indicating “Permission denied.” This issue arises when the SAPLPD is unable to deposit print files into its designated work directory, which varies based on the method by which SAPLPD is launched. For auto-started SAPLPD via SAP GUI (access method F), the directory used is the current SAP GUI directory. If manually started, the directory settings follow those predefined in the startup link. Solutions involve granting write permissions to the current directory or altering the work directory to one with the necessary permissions. For issues persisting despite correct permissions, additional logs and error messages provide further troubleshooting insights, such as automatic directory switches to C:\WINNT\temp when write permissions are absent. For service-run SAPLPD, see SAP Note 42268 for specific guidance.
