Create a New Printer (Microsoft Windows 10)Permanent link for this heading

To add a new printer that uses a Fabasoft Folio 2019 Printer Port, perform the following steps:

  1. Add a new local printer via the “Printers & scanners” Dialog.
  2. Choose “The printer that I want isn’t listed” after searching for new printers.
  3. Select “Add a local printer or network printer with manual settings”.
  4. As port select the Fabasoft Folio Printer Port (e.g. “FabasoftFolio191”).
  5. Select an arbitrary PostScript printer and click “Next”.
    Note: The selected PostScript printer is used to create PostScript files of your documents, which are converted to PDF files with the Fabasoft Folio Conversion Services.
    The created PostScript files must be compatible to the third-party product (e.g. Ghostscript) that is used by the Fabasoft Folio Conversion Services for the conversion. Depending on the used PostScript printer, documents with long file names (about 150 characters) may not be converted.
  6. After carrying out all steps of the wizard a new printer is available. Whenever you print documents on this printer the configured Fabasoft Folio application is started and in case of the FSCPOSTSCRIPT@1.1001:UploadFileFromPrinterApp application the PDF file is put on the Fabasoft Folio desk.

Note: When using Microsoft Windows 8.1 or 10 make sure to use a “V3 print driver” and not a “V4 print driver”. Using a “V4 print driver” will result in following error message: “Unable to install printer. Double check the printer name and make sure that the printer is connected to the network.”
