Yes, you can print from SAP to the printer attached to a pc.
In SAP, set up the printers with the SAPWIN driver. This will allow
the print job to take the format of the default Windows printer. On
the workstation run SAPLPD (which is part of the gui's). When setting
up the printers...use the ip address and the host name of the
workstation as the destination.
This works for local or remote pc's. One thing to consider....if the
remote users get an ip address assigned to them from a pool of
addresses....then you need to define all of the ip addresses in the
modem pool to SAP i.e. RMT1, RMT2, etc.
