Question:
Hi all, i'm running sapconsole on a telnet client running in pocket pc 2002.
The thing is i have a printer directly connected to the rs-232 port of the PPC, and the only way of printing is sending to it's COM port.
The printer is no RF and is not posible to do a share of it so i can not define it as an SAP device in SPAD.
Thanx
Answer:
Use device LOCL and set your default printer to COM1:

Answer:
Thanx R, but when you mean to use LOCL is in the print params for Device??? or indestination, and COM1: where should i use this?
Answer:
Your SAP Printer device is LOCL, COM1: is the first com port on the device (if that's the one you're using) or the relevant COM device if you're not.

Answer:
Hi R can you please explain some more on how to define the device and print to it from sapconsole telnet session.

Answer:
i fyou want to print from sapconsole firstly foreget using sapconsole.
sapconsole provides a GIU to text conversion, apart from that not a lot else.
if you want to print on a pronter be it RF or not RF you will need to establish a connection to your SAP enviroment , this can be through either :
1. Direct connection to your print SAP server
2. Connection through your local PC using LPR/LPD software on the SAP client.
now if you want to use LPR/LPD then you need to be able to run the SAP client on the protable device and then connect the printer to the portable device.
OR
easier way, connect you printer to your SAPprint server either throught a TCPIP wired or wireless connection.
Your RF transaction will then need to coded to send the print to the specific printer (users usually assigne them selves a printer on the RF start up).
There are proposably other more concoluted ways, but the above method works, is easy and cheap.
