AutoPrint Professional
4.07
The server edition                               
for Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7/Server 20xx 
 

You are facing one or more of these challenges ?  

- You’d like to send text or graphic files directly to a certain printer but you don’t want to open huge
 applications first
- Your DOS-application runs quite well on the Windows-PC, but print-out is no more possible. 
- You are receiving a lot of text or graphic files and you don’t have the time to print them manually.
- You receive many PDF-documents and need to print them manually file by file.
- Your incoming files need to be printed without a user logged in.
 

Solution: 
 
AutoPrint Professional automatically batch prints nearly any printable file, including several standard bitmap graphic file types.

+ Good old DOS-jewels now have - if print-file output is possible - access to one or more Windows-printers. 
+ Optionally for each printer one or more optional static ESC initialization strings may be defined.
+ Access any shared printer in your local network.
+ Prints BMP, JPG, GIF, TIF (including multi-page) and G3N bitmap image files to any installed Windows-printer.
+ Multiple standard page layout setups can be defined for each printer.
+ TXT files are transferred through a Windows canvas.
+ PDF documents are printed without the need of external applications.
+ After successful output the print-files are deleted automatically or saved in a certain folder. 
+ AutoPrint Professional runs as full-size application, minimized to the system tray or as unattended  Windows32 service.
+ New: Now also prints watermarks and header or footer text lines, including page numbers, file names and more.

 

How AutoPrint Professional works: 
 
AutoPrint runs in the background on a local workstation or on a Windows server system. On any connected computer one or more special file folders are assigned. Each folder is reserved as a file container for one of these printers, multiple folders for one singular printer with different driver settings are also possible. Any of these folders may be defined as public and is so far accessible for by all operating systems within the local network. 
Some user-application now sends a file to be printed (e.g. dosapp.prn) into one or more of these folders. 
AutoPrint will pick up this file and send it to the corresponding printer and delete it finally.

Text-files (*.txt) files are handled by AutoPrint Professional directly.

Image-files (*.bmp, *.jpg, *.tif, *.gif *.g3f) are also processed and transferred by AutoPrint.

The printout of typical ASCII text-files (like *.bat, *.ini, *log) are printed with the printers standard build-in font or - if defined - with an alternative internal printer font defined by an individual initialization string. 

PDF-document-files are printed through an internal rendering engine without the need of any external application.

Raw print-files (like *.prn or any other) have to be built for a certain printer type. That means, the generating application has to deal with its internal printer drivers first!

Latest beta version:
From time to time you may be able to download the latest beta version here.
If available this link is active and directed to a zipped set of files. These files
can directly be copied over your existing installation. Make sure to have installed the full version first and quit its operation. A possible registration remains as is. Also the setup configuration is unaffected.
Anyway, we can not guaranty that a beta version would work as expected.
You may save the previous exe-file in case you want to restore the old situation..
