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 PReS 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 HPPCLprinters.
The Print Using a Windows Driver output taskrequires a PReS Workflow license, otherwise this plugin
will cause a watermark.
Note
This type of output task does not support PDFtransparency and duo-tone features, so you should not
use it with PReS Connect documents that use those features.
Input
This task can accept either a data file with a correct Emulation, which is then merged to a PReS Connect
document, or a PDFfile which is to be printed natively.
Processing
Either the data file is merged with the document if one is selected, or the PDFFile is printed natively through
the PReS Printer driver (which prints the same as if one were to open the PDFin a PDFreader and print it).
Properties
General Tab
l 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.
l Properties: Click to change the current printer queue properties. Note that PReS Workflow generate
the job file and hands it over with the available print options to the Windows print driver, which takes
the relay for the actual printing part, so there is no way for your PReS Workflow Tool to ensure that all
the settings you make will be applied to the printed document.
