  Front-end printing is a feature of the SAP BC-CCM-PRN Print and Output Management component. It allows users to print documents directly from their SAP system, without having to install a printer driver on their local computer. This feature is especially useful for remote users who may not have access to a printer or the necessary drivers.

This can be done by entering the printer's IP address in the SAP system's configuration settings. Once the printer is configured, users can select the "Print" option from within their SAP system and select the desired printer. The document will then be sent directly to the printer without requiring any additional software or drivers. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When configuring a printer for front-end printing, it is important to ensure that the correct IP address is entered in the SAP system's configuration settings. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the printer is connected and powered on before attempting to print from within SAP.
