SAP systems rely on basic operating system print spooling capabilities, which provide limited functionality and no integration with SAP. This results in a lack of print job status visibility for users. Third-party print management software like OM Plus is designed to interface with SAP and support advanced spooling features like bi-directional printer communication and real-time print status updates within SAP. OM Plus replaces the OS spooler and adds functionality like error handling, load balancing, and accounting.

2. SAP Systems and Printing
 SAP itself has no enhanced print capabilities and relies on the basic
spooling capabilities found at the operating system (O/S) level.
 These operating system spooling systems are very basic in their
function. On its own, SAP print spooling has very limited uses.

3. SAP Disadvantages
 There is no integration between O/S spoolers and SAP, therefore no print
status information can be passed back to the SAP system.
 Further, there are no communications between printer and spooling
system.
 This means there is no printer or print job status available.
 An SAP user looking at their SAP screen would never know whether printing actually
occurred or if there was an error.
 O/S spooling systems do not perform advanced print spooling functions
that are required by many businesses.
