Receiving Jobs from Print to Web

PrintShop Mail Web, on top of being a Web-To-Print solution, is also a print server that can receive jobs from any PrintShop Mail Design software whether this installation is local or remote. However, there are a few specific points that must be handled for this integration between Design and Web to be functional.

• It is strongly recommended that the Operating System be the same on the server and all client machines.
• It is recommended not to mix 32 and 64 bit versions of the operating systems and drivers (x86 and x64).
• Each PrintShop Mail Design user must have a their own username and password defined in PrintShop Mail Web.
• Printers that will receive jobs from PrintShop Mail Web must be accessible from the PrintShop Mail Web server and activated within PrintShop Mail Web's interface.
• Printer names must be the same across all machines that share PrintShop Mail documents, as well as the server.
• Printshop Mail Design users must have the printer drivers installed on their local machines for every printer they intend to output to through PrintShop Mail Web. It does not matter if the output printer is accessible or not from the Design machine, only that the driver be present. This is because the page setup and driver settings are set from PrintShop Mail Design but will actually be used from PrintShop Mail Web so they must match.

Once the setup is done properly, you can use the Print to Web feature from PrintShop Mail Design. The Print to Web dialog will display the URL of the PrintShop Mail Web server, a list of companies on that server and the printers that are installed and activated on the server. PrintShop Mail Design will send the job to PrintShop Mail Web for processing.
