Client printing
FH Web Edition supports client-side printing on all clients. By default, FH Web Edition automatically detects the client's default printer information once the user has signed in to the FH Web Edition server. This includes the default printer's port and printer driver. If the printer driver is not installed on the FH Web Edition server, FH Web Edition attempts to locate the driver and automatically install it.
When running applications on FH Web Edition servers, users can print to network printers and to printers that are directly connected to their computers, such as through serial, parallel, and USB ports.
Administrators can control which, if any, printers are available to users using the -ac
and printerconfig
FH Web Edition startup parameters.
When running FH Web Edition from a shortcut, use the -ac
parameter with all
, none
, or default
, to respectively make all, none or only the default printer available from applications running on the FH Web Edition server.
Example: To make all printers available, create a shortcut with the target specified as: "C:\Program Files\ACSXerox\FH Web Edition\Client\FH_Web.exe" -ac all
Similarly, when running FH Web Edition from a hyperlink, use the printerconfig
parameter with all
, none
, or default
.
Example: The following hyperlink makes all printers available:
http://hostname/fhweb/logon.html?printerconfig=all
If no options are specified, FH Web Edition automatically configures the user's default printer only.
Note: The Print Spooler Service must be running on the FH Web Edition server to configure client printers.
