Shared Printer Driver
Restrictions
The printed images will be generated on the server, not on
the client.
On the client printer driver you must properly configure the
following settings for it to work properly:
-Output Directory (on the Filename Generation tab):
You have to select an output directory that exists on the
server. If this directory does not exist on the server, the
printed image is generated and placed in the TEMP directory
for the machine.
If the output directory is a shared network directory (for
example \\aaa\ccc), and the printed image is generated in
the TEMP directory on the server, then the port monitor does
not have read/write permission to generate the image in the
network directory.
-Enable Start Application (on the Start Application
tab): If you select a start application in the client
printer, and this application exists on the server at the
same location, the
|
selected application will run.
This application won’t run on the client machine.
-Watermarks (Watermark tab): If you select a
watermark on the client machine, these files must exist on
the server machine with the same full path.
If the watermark image doesn’t exist on the server, the
printed image will not contain the watermark.
-Using bates numbering (Bates Numbering tab): If you
enable bates numbering and select a format from the combo
box, the name of the format must exist on the server printer
driver. If the format does not exist with the specified name
on the server printer driver, the Bates number won’t be
added to the printed image. The printed image will contain
the Bates numbering, however it will be in the format that
the server’s driver is configured for.
-Profile Manager (the Profile Manager tab): The
management of the printer setting profiles does not work
when the driver is shared. |
