After having issues with printing invoices from SAP S/4HANA Cloud. Support team explained that in cloud edition of SAP S/4HANA Cloud, output management is the only available framework for output. Printing is done either online from the web browser or in the background via a Print Queue and the Cloud Print Manager. They corrected our setting and give us a good example and manuals so we can do it now by our self and know where to look for setting if issue will happen again.
