Printing failure mechanisms

[Nancy Palmquist]

Bob,

If the job is sent to WIN:laser as the destination in the printer setup 
or you set the Printer Destination in your programming that way, the 
output goes to the print queue for the printer called "laser" on your 
local printer.  I think the WIN: part of the Destination accomplishes 
that.  The job is in the normal print queue and can be controlled and 
held as needed.

With a PFPOSTPRINT command, it is picking up a file you wrote, which is 
what activates the command.  Then the command is doing whatever you 
asked it to do.  You can load the file into a word processer, web 
browser, spreadsheet, fax server, print server, etc.  That is a command 
line issue as to how that is handled.

That is how I understand the process and it seems to work for me on the 
many computers I have setup with this.
