• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PO122 - Only & lines of the spool request were printed ?

  The SAP error message "PO122 Only & lines of the spool request were printed" typically indicates that the output of a print job was limited to a certain number of lines, and not all lines in the spool request were printed. This can happen for various reasons, including configuration settings, printer settings, or limitations in the spool request itself.
  Causes:
