    Do you *HAVE* to use access method L? An alternative is to set up
    SAPLPD as a service on the Windows server (see SAP Note 42268) and use
    access method S.

    The Windows server name goes in the "Destination hosts" field (natch),
    and the Windows queue name is the "Host printer". If the queue isn't
    local to the SAPLPD server, you may need to qualify the host printer
    with the \\SERVERNAME\QUEUENAME format.

    Format can be handled in two ways - if you set the "Device type" to
    SAPWIN, the Windows Printer Drivers will format the output much like
    someone printing via their frontend printer. You can also set the
    device type as you would for a LPR printer to let SAP handle the
    formatting - SAPLPD will then basically act as a pass through.

    HTH.
