Print

Contents

Info

The Print connector uses the Print Host service. Make sure the service is running otherwise a service error will be generated when attempting to open / use the connector.

Info

The Print connector uses local Windows print drivers to submit print jobs. If you don’t see the desired printer listed in the list of printers please install the driver on the same Scanshare server. A network printer is allowed as well as far as installed on the Scanshare server.

Info

The Print connector is spooling print jobs as Microsoft XPS documents. The Output Profiles section is missing because the output is automatically processed as a print job.
