Download to Printer action tasks (see "Download to Printer" on page318), but they include
image specific options. Furthermore, they can be used to send images not only to printers, but
also to the virtual drive of other computers running PlanetPress Workflow applications. Note
that each Sent Images to Printer action task must be followed by a Printer Queue Output
task set to "passthrough", in order for the images to be actually sent to that printer.
Note
Images sent to a printer are stored in the root folder of the printer’s hard disk, while
images sent to the virtual drive of another computer are stored in a sub-folder of the
PlanetPress Workflow folder.
