This post shows an approach that can be used with
ePrint to to re-align a printed page after scaling down the size of the page.
The first step is to
create the
Realignment Task Printer that will print to the target output printer (whether physical or virtual) while re-aligning the scaled down pages.
To do this, choose
Tools -> Task Printers Manager and in the
Task Printers Manager dialog, click the
Add button and do the following:
- In the Batch Print section, select the target printer and enable its checkbox.
- Right-Click the target printer and select Properties and configure the target paper size (e.g. A4/Letter)
- Right-Click the target printer and select Enhanced Options
- In the dialog that shows, enable Enhanced Options then select the desired settings for layout, gutter control, and margin. For alignment, enable Best Fit then select the desired horizontal and vertical alignments.

Scale-Down Task Printer that will print the source page to a smaller paper size, thus scaling down its contents. As above, use the
Task Printers Manager to
create a second
task printer with the following configuration:
- In the Batch Print section, select the Realignment Task Printer created above and enable its checkbox.
- Right-Click the Realignment Task Printer and select Properties and configure the target paper size to scale down the pages as desired. You can also use the Add... button to configure a custom paper size (e.g. 50% scaling of A4 dimensions)

Task Printer will automatically scale down the the pages then sends them to the Realignment
Task Printer which will realign the pages before sending them to the output target printer.

It is not possible to share ePrint printers over the network. ePrint Terminal Server edition is designed to work in a Terminal Server environment which means that they would use ePrint as if it were installed on their desktop (when they log in with MSTSC or Citrix). They will need to create their own Task printer like you did with the first one that you attempted to share.

I'm afraid this is not possible through the Workstation because (as you already figured out) the Workstation uses the default Windows printer by default.
Have you considered the option of creating an ePrint Task Printer?
An ePrint Task Printer can perform all the functions of the LEADTOOLS ePrint 5 (Lite) printer. That is, you save print jobs in one or more file formats, email, and re-route the job to other printers.
So, if you need to do any of these functions, create a Task Printer that does what you need, then make that printer as the default printer. Whenever you send a print job to that printer, it will perform all functions without any user intervention.

Clint,
If you want
to print through ePrint to several network printers you can do this, but the
printers should be configured on your PC and you should be able to print to
them (for example, printing a test page).
This means
for ePrint to work, these sites must appear as regular printers in the Windows
Printers (or Printers and Faxes) folder.
If that's
the case, you can create a task printer and modify the options and select the
desired printers to print to.
If you
don't have ePrint 5 Professional, I recommend that you download the free evaluation
version and try the operation with it to see if it meets your demands. You can
get the evaluation from this link:
eprintdriver.com/about-ePrint.htm">http://eprintdriver.com/about-ePrint.htm
If
you want to use ePrint 5 printer as a shared printer through network am afraid
you can do that. However, we have a Terminal Services edition of ePrint, which
can be installed on a Terminal Server and access from Terminal Client machines,
but even this version cannot be used as a shared printer.

Hello,
<br><br>
I have a question about something i've not been able to find any information about through the forums and over the internet.
<br><br>
When using LeadTools ePrint (Terminal Server version) in order to convert files - through task printers -, how do the COM component process them?. I have thought about two things but don't know which of them -if anyone- is right:
<br><br>
1) Even if you create more than one Task printer that makes the same job (i.e, convert PDF to TIF), if you send two files simultaneously, one to each task printer, in the reality, the two jobs are processed sequentially, but never in parallel. On the other side, jobs for different "goal" Task Printers are processed in parallel (i.e, if you send a file to a Task Printer that converts PDF to TIF and, at the same time, you do the same with another file to another Task printer that makes the DOC->PDF way).
<br><br>
2)No matter if the "destination" format the jobs you're trying to process simultaneously is the same or different, jobs are processed in parallel.
<br><br>
The information that, finally, i want to get is what degree of "parallel capabilities" this product has. If having multiple task printers with the same conversion settings allow to an external application using the COM component parallel process and, if the answer to that is "no", if there is a way to do this.
<br><br>
I would like an explanation from anyone from the LeadTools staff, due this is very important to know that for the project i'm working to.
<br><br>
Lots of thanks in advance,
<br><br>
