the maximum number of spool work processes that can be used for
front end printing for each SAP instance using the profile parameter
rdisp/wp_no_Fro_max (the default value is 1).
Front end printing is suitable for output on local printers, however not for
production or mass printing.
Of course, front end printing requires a connection to the front end PC.
This method can therefore not be used for background processing.
For more information, see SAP Composite Note 114426. SAP Note 351230
describes front end printing with the SAP ITS when using the SAP GUI for
HTML. SAP Note 150533 contains information about front end printing
when using Windows Terminal Server.

In addition to the information in the course material, note that a printer
cannot subsequently be renamed, and that the name of the printer in the
SAP system is case-sensitive.
Hint: Emphasize the central functions of transaction SPAD.
Do not become involved in discussions about connecting
existing third-party solutions. This topic must be addressed on a
case-by-case basis in the context of consulting.
The configuration of the spool system is a system administration task. The
