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 PlanetPress Design documents that use those features.
Input
This task can accept either a data file with a correct Emulation, which is then merged to a
PlanetPress Design 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).

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.
