2417382 - Frontend print problem after upgrade to SAPGUI 740 patch 11 and higher

After upgrade to SAPGUI 740 patch 11 and higher, there is no print out from the printer when doing frontend printing with access method G, although the spool request status in SP01 shows 'Comp.'.

In the sapfprint.log file got as Note 1780896, the 'params' is empty. Below is an example.

Th 15552: (18.01.2017 08:20:56) CsapfPrintCtrl::Print about to print with parameters:
Th 15552: (18.01.2017 08:20:56) printer_name = __DEFAULT
Th 15552: (18.01.2017 08:20:56) filesize = 1574
Th 15552: (18.01.2017 08:20:56) copies = 1
Th 15552: (18.01.2017 08:20:56) suppress_print_dialog = 0
Th 15552: (18.01.2017 08:20:56) params =
Th 15552: (18.01.2017 08:20:56) CsapfPrintCtrl::~CsapfprintCtrl destructor called

Usually it looks like below:
