First you will need to install a printer driver. Here is the guide for Windows Vista:
| • | Double-click on Printers. |
| • | Right-click and choose Add Printer from context menu. |
| • | Choose Add a Local Printer, click Next and choose a manufacturer from the left list. For this example we will use HP. |
| • | From the right list (Printers), select a PCL driver. For this example we will use HP LaserJet 5200 Series PCL 5. Click Next. |
| • | Remove spaces from the printer name - i.e. the name should look like this: HPLaserJet5200SeriesPCL5. |
| • | Click Next, Next and Finish. |
Now that we have a PCL printer driver, we can create a PCL file with Ultrascale. Using URender.NET, the command line is:
URender.NET.exe c:\temp\input.fo -parameters:printername=HPLaserJet5200SeriesPCL5;outputprintfile=c:\temp\outputFile.pcl
In the same manner, if the printer exists and you want to print directly to it, use the following command line (notice that no output file is specified):
URender.NET.exe c:\temp\input.fo -parameters:printername=HPLaserJet5200SeriesPCL5
If you want to print from the local network, using a shared printer, you can use the following command line (in our example, we'll use HPLasterJet5200SeriesPCL5 attached to computer srv01 ):
URender.NET.exe c:\temp\input.fo -parameters:printername=\\srv01\HPLaserJet5200SeriesPCL5
