Print Using a Windows Driver
Printing Using a Windows Driver output tasks are used to send jobs to a local or network printer without
going through a PlanetPress Workflow printer queue. Since the printer driver itself is not necessarily
postscript, we cannot optimize the print file, so using a Windows Driver Output will always generate a larger
and slower print job. However, this output can work with non-postscript printers such as HPPCLprinters.
The Print Using a Windows Driver output taskrequires a PlanetPress Workflow license, otherwise this
plugin will cause a watermark.
Note
This type of output task does not support PDFtransparency and duo-tone features, so you should not
use it with PlanetPress Connect documents that use those features.
Input
This task can accept either a data file with a correct Emulation, which is then merged to a PlanetPress
Connect document, or a PDFfile which is to be printed natively.
Processing
Either the data file is merged with the document if one is selected, or the PDFFile is printed natively through
the PlanetPress Printer driver (which prints the same as if one were to open the PDFin a PDFreader and
print it).
Properties
General Tab
l Printer queue: Select the queues to which you want to send the output. Note that this is a variable
property box, so you can use various schemes to use printer queue names that change with each job
at run-time.
l Properties: Click to change the current printer queue properties. Note that PlanetPress Workflow
generate the job file and hands it over with the available print options to the Windows print driver,
which takes the relay for the actual printing part, so there is no way for your PlanetPress Workflow Tool
to ensure that all the settings you make will be applied to the printed document.
