Note
If you plan to use an LPR output printer queue to send PlanetPress Connect documents generated
using the Optimized PostScript Stream option, you should not enter data selections in the Printer
address and Queue name variable property boxes. If you do need to use information stored in the
data to configure the LPR output printer queue, you should first use Job info variables to store the
information, and then use these variables in the Printer address and Queue name variable property
boxes.
