General Print Preferences
The General Print Preferences are used to set communication settings with the PlanetPress
Connect Server module that does the actual generation of print output. The Server module can
be located on the same computer (hostname: localhost) or on a different machine. Multiple
Designer modules can use a single Server module to generate Print output, as long as the
appropriate hostname, username and password are provided. In essence, this can be used to
create a single Print Server.
