Windows Output printer queue
Windows output printer queues send print jobs to local or network printer queues set up in the
Windows session in which PlanetPress Workflow is running. Note that jobs sent to those
queues completely bypass the printer driver.
Properties
General tab
l
Printer queue: Select the Windows printer queue to which you want to send print jobs.
l
Job name: Enter the job’s file name. By default, the variable %f (Job File Name; see
"System variables" on page715) is used. You may use a different variable, but you may
not use a data selection. This information may be used for the printer’s banner page.
l
Job owner name: Enter the job owner name. You may use a PlanetPress Workflow
variable. The field is empty by default, which is equivalent to use the default print job
owner name, i.e. the current logged in user name.
Advanced tab
l
Print speed: Enter the speed, in pages per minute (PPM), of the printer associated with
the printer queue. This value is used to determine how to divide jobs when you use the
Queue Balancing option for load balancing.
l
Commands: The list of available commands appears in this box. Select either Pre-job
commands or Post-job commands in the Selected box, and double-click a command
from this list to add it to the appropriate list.
l
Selected: Select either Pre-job commands or Post-job commands to add new
commands to the appropriate list and to see those commands that have already selected.
Double-click a command to remove it from the selected list.
l
Add: Click to add a new command to the list displayed in the Commands box. You must
then edit the new command’s description and value. Note that new commands are shared
by all printer queues.

l
Command description: Use this box to edit the description of the command currently
selected in the Commands box.
