Defining the Windows gateway printer

Your ERP print jobs are submitted to a Windows gateway printer that is associated with the appropriate PostScript or PCL driver for your printer. To define your Windows gateway printer:
  1. Create or select an InfoPrint actual destination that accepts the data stream that you are sending to the printer (PostScript, PCL, or AFP).

    This actual destination can be almost any type of InfoPrint printer (Passthrough, BSD, IPP, PSF) that you can create using the InfoPrint Manager Administration GUI. If you do not want to use the default queue and logical destination, create them and associate the actual destination with them.

  2. Install the appropriate PostScript or PCL printer driver on the system that your InfoPrint Manager server is located on.

    To install the driver on your system:

    1. Insert the DVD or disk containing the driver into the correct drive or copy the driver files to a temporary location.
    2. Start the WindowsAdd Printer wizard and create a local printer. When you have to select a port, select FILE:.
    3. When the wizard gives you a list of manufacturers and printers, browse and select the correct driver.
    4. Finish the wizard without printing a test page or making this printer the default.

    Once you finish the wizard, you can delete this printer; the driver will still be installed.

  3. Open the Management Console and create a Windows gateway printer.

    In the Target destination field, select the destination that you created or chose in step 1. In the Windows driver name field, select the driver that you installed in step 2. Remember the Share name that you choose; you will need it later. See Management Console online help for additional information.
