Dear all,




















I am trying to get my head around print drivers. PS and PCL seem to be the 2 
main ones.
Now here is what I have encountered:
If I move a print job across the network, the release printer recognizes the 
settings. Which leads me to believe that all a driver needs is the PS file 
generated. 
However the PS file is in essence a set of 2 files. One is the SHL and the 
other is the SPL.  Given that all the driver reads of the print job is inside 
those 2 files is it possible to alter the print job properties from that spool 
file?
If not then how does the driver know the correct properties if the originating 
application is not even on the server (moving scenario). All the information 
regarding that print job must be inside those spool files right? 
RegardsAdam
