l LPR output queues let you send print jobs to remote printers via TCP/IP using the LPR/LPD protocol. See LPR
Output Printer Queue.
l Windows Driver Printing:
l The Print using a Windows Driver output task lets you send a job to any printer installed on the com-
puter, using its own drivers. In this particular case, the printer does not need to be a PostScript printer. See Print
Using a Windows Driver.
PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools provides you with three main printing scenarios:
1. Send output data to be printed as is: PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools sends a file containing only the data to
the selected queue.
2. Send output data to be merged with a document on the printer: PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools sends
one of two things:
l A file that contains only the data to the selected printer queue. The document with which the data must be
merged must be present on the printer’s hard disk, otherwise printing will fail.
l A file that contains the data and the document to the selected printer queue. Since the data and the document
with which it must be merged are both sent to the printer, printing should never fail.
l In both cases, the document+data merging process takes place inside the printer.
3. Send output data already merged with a document:PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools sends a file that con-
tains the document already merged with the data to the selected printer queue. The document+data merging process
therefore never takes place inside the printer.
In PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools Configuration, you may associate a single Printer Queue output task with mul-
tiple Printer Queues. If you do so, you have the option of using load balancing or not (see Load Balancing).
