Problem with frontend print using SAPlpd

Problem:
I can't solve problem with printing using frontend (SAPlpd). In our company we are using frontent print (access method F). All employees print without problem, but I can't print from one notebook (Windows 8.1).

Each print finish with status INCORRECT and SAPlpd doesn´t start!





Complete message: Connection closed after (protocol) error (RC=1)

I tried:
- reinstall notebook
- few version of SAPGui
- change setting of firewall, try print with turn off firewall
- use old version of SAPlpd
- look in path for log files (print options editor of SAPGui), this folder is empty
- look in path for temporary files (print options editor of SAPGui), this folder is empty

Solution:
Note that Access Method F is the old and not supported method for frontend printing, because it has been replaced by Access Method G.

Please switch to Access Method G - further information can be found in SAP Note: 821519 - Front-end printing with control technology.
