About printing
To print a document you can either use an Output task, or a combination of "PReS Workflow
printer queues" on page94 and the Printer Queue Output task. Decisive factors, in addition to
the printer that you're using, are:
l The type of job (Connect, or PlanetPress Suite).
l
The features that you want to use. When you associate a single Printer Queue Output
task with multiple printer queues, you have the option of using load balancing or not (see
"Load balancing" on page102).
l The file type. Printer Queues can only handle PostScript and PDF files.
Printing can be done locally or remotely. The spool file is sent to the printer by the Output task
itself, or by Workflow if the file is placed in a Workflow Printer Queue.
Printer-centric printing - which means that a document and data are merged on a printer - is
only supported with PlanetPress Design documents, and requires that this feature is available
on the printer.
OL Connect print jobs
There are two OL Connect tasks designed to create print output using a Connect Designer
template: the "Create Output" on page461 task, and the "All In One" on page450 task which
combines 4 different OL Connect tasks, including the Create Output task, within a single one.
Both tasks can produce many different types of files and distribute them to many different
printers, or to a folder.
Print options
The file type, printer model, output type (a folder, LPR queue or Windows printer), and print
options and settings are normally contained in an Output Creation Preset. Output Creation
