Is it possible to create a ps file that will work with 2 different printer ppd’s? We don’t want to have to process the file twice for each printer type if possible. Just process once and move to an open printer.
Of course, since the PPDs are defined in the Output Preset, you need to defined two differents Output Preset, each dealing with its own PPD.
Then in your Workflow process, branch after the Create Job into two Create Output.
So we can’t just have 1 postscript file, we’ll have to produce 1 for each printer. What we kind of thought but was hoping different.
Although it is possible to generate a Postcript file that will enquire the printer’s identity and choose its command but this is very complex to achieve and i would advise against it.
Can you tell me what this is all about? Saw this in release notes can’t find anything else.
Output Creation
Tweak PostScript headers
Certain printers require very specific information in their header comments to work correctly. Although this could already be handled through custom printer definitions, it can now also be done directly through Dynamic PPD mode.
You can refer to this part of the documentation.
what you have read earlier is the release notes which simply note what has been added/improved in the new verion.
