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 HPPCLprinters.
The Print Using a Windows Driver output taskrequires a PlanetPress Workflow license,
otherwise this plugin will cause a watermark.
Note
This type of output task does not support PDFtransparency and duo-tone features, so
you should not use it with PlanetPress Design 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 Design document, or a PDFfile which is to be printed natively.
Processing
Either the data file is merged with the document if one is selected, or the PDFFile is printed
natively through the PlanetPress Printer driver (which prints the same as if one were to open
the PDFin a PDFreader and print it).

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.
