Topic: PFPOSTPRINT

[Dave]

I am trying to print to a Brothers QL-500 label printer. I am also using Anzio Print wizard and his instructions are to set pfpostprint to run printwizard.exe. I tried to set this in the configuration editor to be pfpostprint = printwizard.exe. I set the printer maintenance to pfpostprint and I find a file in my C: drive that is what I want to send to print wizard. What steps am I missing?

Thanks in advance for any help.

for one thing, PFPOSTPRINT=printwizard.exe is probably not good enough for printwizard.exe to be found.
set the full path to the executable.
e.g. PFPOSTPRINT=\printwizard\printwiz.exe
along with any command line arguments you want to pass to printwizard
filepro will add the print-file name to the arg-list you send to printwiz.exe so you don't need that.

also make sure none of your processes, formats, or command line arguments to *clerk or *report override printer destination - there is a heirarchy of what overrides what, but i do not have it handy.  how did you set "printer maintenance" to pfpostprint exactly?

Joe,

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I ended up using the feature on the print wizard program that allows me to print to a specified directory. When a new file hit that directory print wizard sends it a the specified printer and then deletes the file from the directory.
Thanks again for responding.  The print wizard program works really noce.
