How do I send a job to the printer?

 

Starting new jobs

There are three different ways of outputting a job to the HP Designjet 50ps printer with the HP Designjet 50ps software:

  • Virtual printer
  • You print the job in the usual manner directly from your application on the client computer. For this purpose, you select the virtual printer which best fits the print job settings in the printer setting menu. If necessary, you adapt the settings to your special print job by using Jobstream.

  • Hot folder
  • You copy a suitable file to a hot folder that has the settings you want (format, color management, etc.).

    The system automatically performs any further processing. You can, for example, define a link to the desired hot folder (in the UserDir\VirtualPrinter directory on the server) on the desktop of a client computer connected via the network and drag the files to be printed onto this link.

    Refer also to Which are the files a hot folder can process? in Tell me about virtual printers and hot folders.

  • Direct download
  • Click New job at the bottom left of the In progress or All jobs job lists. By clicking the Browse button, you can select a local or remote file (stored on the network) which is then to be output as a new job. The criteria for output are the same as with hot folder jobs.

    Clicking Open in the Select File dialog loads the selected file. Then click Next to open the job settings.

    Here, you specify the virtual printer you will use for output and, if necessary, can still edit the job settings and define the number of copies you want.

    By clicking OK, the job is added as a new job to the In Progress list.
