  The SAP error message 62609, which states "Select either 'Print immed.' or 'Spool request'," typically occurs when a user attempts to print a document or report without specifying a print option. This error is common in SAP systems when the print settings are not properly configured or when the user interface does not provide a clear choice for the print method.

  Missing Print Option: The user did not select either "Print immediately" or "Spool request" before attempting to print.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the printer configuration in the SAP system.

  Solution:
  
  
  Select Print Option: Ensure that you explicitly select either "Print immediately" or "Spool request" before executing the print command.
