l Local printing:
l Windows output queues let you send jobs to a local printer. See "Windows Output
Printer Queue" on page69.
l Send to Folder output queues let you save jobs to a local or network folder from
which they can be picked up and printed. See "Send to Folder Printer Queue" on
page73.
l Remote printing:
l FTP output queues let you upload jobs to an FTP site from which they can be
picked up and printed. See "FTP Output Printer Queue" on page72.
l LPR output queues let you send print jobs to remote printers via TCP/IP using the
LPR/LPD protocol. See "LPR Output Printer Queue" on page70.
l Windows Driver Printing:
l The Print using a Windows Driver output task lets you send a job to any printer
installed on the computer, using its own drivers. In this particular case, the printer
does not need to be a PostScript printer. See "Print Using a Windows Driver" on
page577.
PReS Workflow provides you with three main printing scenarios:
l Send output data to be printed as is: PReS Workflow sends a file containing only the
data to the selected queue.
l Send output data to be merged with a document on the printer: PReS Workflow
sends one of two things:
l A file that contains only the data to the selected printer queue. The document with
which the data must be merged must be present on the printer’s hard disk,
otherwise printing will fail.
l A file that contains the data and the document to the selected printer queue. Since
the data and the document with which it must be merged are both sent to the printer,
printing should never fail.
l In both cases, the document+data merging process takes place inside the printer.
l Send output data already merged with a document:PReS Workflow sends a file that
contains the document already merged with the data to the selected printer queue. The
document+data merging process therefore never takes place inside the printer.
