Hi,
We run a piece of software that requires an IP addressed printer to run. We are wanting to capture documents as they are printed and keep them digital (as a lot dont need to be printed). I have had a look at the different imports and cannot identify one that would work in this way. Does anyone have any advice?
The name isn’t very clear, but it sounds like Telnet Input may be of use to you. This is, in fact, Raw Socket Printing input. You’d have to direct your third party software to print to the IP address of the server that Workflow is running on.
More info on it here: PlanetPress Workflow Workflow 8.6.1 User Guide
Likewise, LPR/LPD is IP based, Of course, this requires your third party software to be compatible with LPR/LPD.

It all depends on what your third party software is capable of working with, really.
Furthermore, your software could even use a HTTP POST submitted to the HTTP Server Input task.
So you have plenty of options!
Thank you very much. Am testing these now, so will hopefully confirm whirch worked best
