Creating a switch flow to Print to océ Varioprint printers

[johnt]

Hello,



I am looking to create a flow that will automatically submit jobs to our océ varioprint printers and was wondering if anyone could help.



We currently use a utility to send pdfs to the printers. It is caled "Job submitIT"



Andrea from Tribay wrote the following but I am not sure where to start or where the "execute command element" would be. (I am still a novice with switch)



_______________________________

The Varioprint supports the LPR command line for printing. This can be executed in a Switch Javascript or via the Execute Command element using Switch variables.



The Script (or variable string) would build the command line based on the information you need to pass to the printer: Number of Copies, Tray, Duplex, Finishing etc. and execute the command line.



Your printer would need to be tested using the command line to ensure all commands work correctly.



Basic command is in this format to print 3 copies of a pdf to a queue:



lpr -IPAddressPrinter -jobQueue -#3 jobItem1.pdf

Thanks

Assuming the arguments Andrea gave you are correct:



Command or path: lpr

Arguments: -IPAddressPrinter -jobQueue -#3 "%1"

Output: None
