Map Finishing printing directly to a windows printer

I just had the Map Finishing software installed and I am only able to send my prints to an ps of pdf file and then print them there. When we had cadscript we could print directly to a printer. Is this possible for Map Finishing? If so, how would I go about setting this up?
Thanks, Bianca

  • Bianca,

    Select Printer.pltcfg from the "Select Printer Driver Configuration File" icon.  Then use the "Select Windows Printer" from the File menu to choose and configure the printer of your choice.

    The "Part II" of this issue is that before using the Map Finishing Print dialog, you must first set the CS_PLTFILES variable so that the temporary .ps file can be written to disc in the specified folder (the software then prints from this file).  You should also un-check the Print to File box, then select the desired Printer from the list.  This printer must be capable of printing Postscript files.
