Publication settings
When publishing documents to PrintShop Web, it is important to check the following:
•
Windows Printer Settings
•
PrintShop Mail Publication Settings
Windows Printer Settings
To print documents correctly it is important that the printer set in the PrintShop Mail document matches
the printers available on the PrintShop Web server. Check the following:
•
Printer name
•
Verify the PPD version
Printer name
The printer name should match. PrintShop Web verifies if the printer specified in the document is
available on the web server. If the printer is not available, the default printer will be used for that
document. You won’t get a warning when you publish the document and you should check the printer
name in PrintShop Web after publishing the document.
On the PrintShop Web server you can add, delete and modify printers in the Printers and Faxes
window of the Microsoft Windows operating system. This window can be accessed via the Start menu.
Verify the PPD version
PostScript printer description (PPD) files describe the fonts, paper sizes, resolution capabilities, and
other features that are standard for your PostScript printer. PPD files are used by PostScript printer
drivers to determine how to print your document. If you do not use the correct PPD file, your document
might not print correctly, or not all of the printer’s features will be available when you print.
Use the same PPD (PostScript Printer Description) on both your PrintShop Mail client machine and
PrintShop Web server. Contact your System Administrator which PPD to use.
PrintShop Mail Publication Settings
In order to publish documents to the PrintShop Web server it is required to adjust the settings in
PrintShop Mail. To change these settings open the Preferences dialog of the PrintShop Mail (Edit
menu). Select the PrintShop Web pane on the left side of the Preferences dialog. Change the settings
for the URL, Login and Password. Contact the Administrator of the PrintShop Web for the correct
settings.
To test your settings click the Test Connection button.
