Printers for handlers

The Powershell handlers each need a direct printer definition to run. The printer definition determines whether the handler jobs are sent to the browser client or stored in the queue so that a service can handle them.

You can use printer names to route the handler call to a specific locally installed service. Routing is useful if you have an environment with multiple local services processing the queue.

Routing packages to a specific service works like regular direct printers.

Direct printers

Fields

Field Description
Direct Printer Name The name of the direct printer is used when the job is created from code.
Local Printer Name A local printer name is the name of the handler directory to locate the handler.ps1 script or the handler.exe executable.
Queue Jobs Determines if a job is created on the queue or downloaded to the browser client.
Hidden Hides the printer from the list of available printers on report request pages.

Routing

Handlers support the regular routing features of direct print printers. This means you can direct a handler request to a specific machine running the direct print service.
