AutoPrint
|
AutoPrint runs in the background on a local workstation or on a LAN server. On a dedicated computer one or more special file folders are assigned - depending on the number of printers to address through AutoPrint. A simple tool to batch print nearly any printable file.
Each folder is reserved as a file container for one of these printers, multiple folders for one singular printer are also possible. These folders may be defined as public and are so far accessible for by all operating systems within the local network. Some user-application now sends a file to print (e.g. dosapp.prn) into one or more of these folders.
AutoPrint will pick up this file and send it to the corresponding printer and delete it finally.
Features:
1. Good old DOS-jewels now have - if print-file output is possible - access to one or more Windows-printers.
2. Optionally for each printer one or more optional static ESC initialization strings may be defined.
3. Access any shared printer in your local network.
4. Transfer BMP, JPG, GIF, TIF (including multi-page) and G3N bitmap image files to any Windows-printer.
5. Multiple standard page layout setups can be defined for each printer.
6. TXT and RTF files are transferred through a Windows canvas.
7. PDF documents can be printed through Adobe Acrobat/Reader in a background procedure.
8. MS Word DOC files and similar documents like WRI or WPD can be printed through MS Word or equivalent
