I have earlier configured the SAP, but recently when trying to print there is an unknown error spotted on the system called lexmark 900 firmware error, The error is not allowing me to print and it causing massive problems, Is it regarding the configuration of the SAP as the SAP of the printer is not set, I would really appreciate any help provide from you all.

Hello Durga,

My Query as below,
My printer is connected to my laptop locally and through VPN am connected to SAP(Company netw). When i give print from SAP, am not getting print from my local printer, even though the spool is showing successfully completed. I have tried SAPWIN and frontend print under device type and access method.Is there any way to take print from SAP to my local printer.
