SAP Printing Overview
SAP prints documents and lists either locally from
the operating system, or remotely from an Output
Switch. The access method set during the printer
device definition of the printer determines the type
of printer connection used.
The lab tested the Samsung ML-4050N printer in a
SAP environment using the SAP printing features.
They tested both the PCL and PS drivers using
Windows.
