Timeout
During a job transfer from the OL Connect Send Printer Driver to Workflow, a timeout could
occur (indicated by a log entry like “ERROR: sendBinaryContents: Could not open request.
Reason: 12002”). In this case, the timeout for the HTTP service in Workflow needs to be
increased. It is recommended to use a value of more than 10 minutes (>600 seconds).
Additionally, the timeout in the browser on the client side should be enhanced. Please see the
help pages for your browser about how to do this.
Security
In order to provide security when printing over the internet, OL Connect Send includes several
protective features.
HTTPS Communication
The OL Connect Send Printer Driver can be set to use HTTPS for any job transfer. To do this,
Workflow must also be set to use HTTPS.
Job Origin
Each print job will include unique information about the machine it has been sent from. This
unique machine ID is calculated with a proven method and will be transferred, encrypted and
enhanced. The enhancement will result in a different encrypted machine ID per print job, so that
spoofing can be detected. On the server side, if spoofing is detected a respective message will
be created.
Users can set up Workflow processes and filters to accept only specific jobs from known
machine IDs, thus enhancing security.
Database connection
The Job Processor plugin works with a database to store all relevant job information. This
database is a HyperSQL Database (HSQLDB, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HSQL_
Database_Engine). It is installed as a service with the name OL Connect Send DBServer (the
internal service name is OLCSServer).
Communication between the plugin and the database occurs using port 9001 (the default port
for HSQLDB). However, there may be situations where this port is already blocked by another
application and may need to be changed.
Several database settings can be modified by creating an ini file. This file must be named
“OLCSSvc.ini” and stored in the same folder as the executable OLCSSvc.exe, located under
