l Create a matching Printer Queue in Workflow (see "PlanetPress Workflow printer
queues" below).
l Associate the document with that Printer Queue (see "Associating PlanetPress Design
documents and PlanetPress printer queues" on page121).
Printer-centric printing
Alternatively the merging of the document and data can take place inside a printer (if the printer
is suitable for it). In that case, PlanetPress Workflow sends one of two things to a printer: a file
that contains only the data to the selected Printer Queue, along with a trigger that specifies
which document the printer should use to merge the data. The document must already be
present on the printer’s hard disk or memory, otherwise printing will fail; ora 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.
PlanetPress Workflow printer queues
The printer queues displayed in the Configuration Components pane of the PlanetPress
Workflow Configuration program are not to be confused with Windows printer queues. When
you start building a PlanetPress Workflow configuration it contains no printer queues. If you
want Workflow to dispatch spool files to printer queues, you have to create queues in Workflow
and set each one’s properties.
Printer Queue types
The PlanetPress Workflow Configuration program lets you create four types of printer queues:
l Windows Output printer queues are used to send print jobs to local or network printers.
See "Windows Output printer queue" on page116.
l LPR Output printer queues are used to send print jobs to printers via the LPR/LPD
protocol. See "LPR Output Printer Queue" on page117.
l FTP Output printer queues are typically used to send print jobs to FTP sites. See "FTP
Output Printer Queue" on page118.
l Send to Folder printer queues are typically used to send print jobs to local or network
folders. See "Send to Folder printer queue" on page120.
The properties associated with each queue will differ depending on the queue type. In the case
of an FTP Output printer queue, for example, the properties include the IP address of the FTP
