Dear Rableen ,

did you tried manually printing from that waiting list using Tx sp01  ?? if yes what was the result

also perform the following configuration

run Tx Su3

go to Defaults tab

in Spool Control area select the following 

1-     Output Device

2-     Output immediately

3-     Delete after Output 

Best Regards

Rableen,

If all you spools are going in waiting status, sometime i have noticed is that if any particular job is running which create temp files under the path

/usr/sap/<SID>/DVEBMGS00/data

can create temp large spool files which could also fill up the file system if you 2-4 GB filsystem, taking all the space and not able to create new spool temp files..etc eventually letting the other to pile up

Thank you

Normally if one  SPO work process is busy or in error the other 2 should take the incomming work.

Can you stop the "waiting" spool requests and start one for test to see if it is going through?

Also you can restart the SPO PID from os level and set the start flag on it in dpmon

Hi Rableen,

     Without providing any information it is little bit difficult to give answer for your query. Provide us SP01 Error screen shot for that request.

1. Ensure the printer port should open b/w the user's desktop and the local printer. You can ask the user to pint for any of the word document to check whether he is able to print or not

2. Check in SU01 for that user is having printer access or not

3. Login with User's credentials from your desktop and try to give print whether you are able to print or not

4. Check any network issue b/w SAP Server and Local Printers

As i told you it is not easy thing to give direct resolution. Ask if you have any queries

As @Santosh pointed out, addtional information will be more helpful for the community.

Something I would first look at is the error of the waiting state, in SP01 after executing a query double click on the waiting status and it will provide more information with why the system put it into a waiting status.
