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.
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.
