Print Wizard

Print Wizard version 4 is supported on Windows Vista and later, including Server 2003 through 2012, Vista, Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, and Windows 11.

Print Wizard version 3 through 3.3 is supported on Windows XP and later. However, for Server 2008 through 2012, Vista, Windows 7, 8, and Windows 10 we require you to be on the latest release of 3.3.

Print Wizard is a 32-bit program. It will run fine on either 32-bit or 64-bit versions of the above platforms.

"bang" commands are commands that can be included in a data stream that will change the behavior of Print Wizard in printing a portion of a file. Bang commands are discussed in detail in the Print Wizard manual.

Print Wizard version 3.0 introduced the concept of Smart Print. With "smart print" turned on, virtually any print file that resides on your PC and has a related file association can be printed.

Print Wizard supports several types of files by their file extension, from text files with a .txt to graphics files with a .JPG extension. However some files only print properly through the applications that support them, such as a .DOC file. With "smart print" on, Print Wizard will try to determine, from the file extension, how best to print a file.

Print Wizard Personal Edition includes the basic of the user interface, the Print Wizard engine and the Print Wizard DLL. It does not support any remote or despool Print Wizard or Windows services.

The Service Edition is designed for those PCs that will be receiving print jobs from remote locations or despooling print jobs from a specific remote or local directory. Print Wizard Service Edition supports the Despool, FTPDespool, Listen and LPD protocols.

Print Wizard version 3.0 introduced a new concept of 'print profiles'. Print profiles are settings that will be applied for each subsequent print job that includes that profile as a parameter.

Print profiles include information such as the printer to use, the various printer settings, number of copies to print, whether to print it, fax it, email it, etc. These can all be set up in the user interface by settings things the way you want and then saving your current settings, or by creating a profile from default settings and saving it.

The Print Wizard DLL is designed to interact with the many features of Print Wizard through program calls. These program calls are made by your own Windows program or script and result in Print Wizard doing all the print work for you. Check out our documentation on Using the Print Wizard DLL.

Yes. All of the Print Wizard engine functionality can be run from within a script. With the "/q" command-line switch for quiet-mode, Print Wizard will display no dialogs, but will return error codes. See the Print Wizard manual for a complete list of error codes returned.

The Print Wizard engine is designed to be fully functional through the use of print profiles and command-line switches.
