Hi Todd and List
As you previously intimated, yes I want to force print jobs to output as
described by the 'Virtual' Printer.
Virtual Printers will be advertised to users, for example a user would send
a print job to the virtual printer 'A3 Black & White - Proof' It doesn't
matter what settings the user configured when printing the job the output
would be a High Dpi Black & White A3 print.
Virtual Printers are advertised by the Print Server and any jobs sent are
interpreted and outputted as specified by the Virtual Printer, the Virtual
Printer then builds the job and submits it to the correct queue which spools
it to the printer.
We also want to configure Virtual PDF Queues on the Same Box so people can
print Artwork as PDF for approval. We are a Design Agency and Print an awful
lot of documents on a daily basis and I am trying to reduce the incidence of
costly misprints.
Thanks again for any help given.
Sean
