Since the version 1.5 you can print to Postscript, by creating of Postscript files in a specified directory. This is to handle direct printing on printers, attached to the server.

Following configuration files are to be imported in the GN4 database when upgrading to 1.5:

1.Print configuration: DefaultPostScript (..\Config\Data\GN4\GN4EditorialData.xml)

2.Print queue: PS file(..\Config\Data\GN4\printQueue_PSFile.xml)

3.Print template: PS file(..\Config\Data\GN4\printTemplate_PSFile.xml)

4.Who use the new workflow PSFile (..\Config\Global\GN4\wf_PSFile.xml)

5.and GeneratePS(..\Config\Global\GN4\wf_GeneratePS.xml)

When creating a new database, all the above files are automatically imported by the Editorial_InstallConfig.xml.

The workflow uses the transformation step in ParseAPDFL.dll called GeneratePS.

GeneratePS use two set of print options: the standard PrintOptions (used also for PDF, for create an “in-memory” document object) and the PS options (used for transform the document into a Postscript file).

You can view and set Postscript options only in EdAdmin (PS Options tab while editing a print preset).

All Postscript options have default values.

About some printers and binary upload

Some printers may fail to print if the PS_binaryOK is True. Set it to False and retry.
