New to Kprint

[Blackshaw]

I am taking over the administration of KPrint. This was originally installed many years ago but all the training was given to one guy who has since left.

I have the server and access to it along with various documents (kpadmin?)

I have kprint as a program so I seem to have everything.

I know the source documents come from Format stationary and are somehow "deployed" onto the server but I cannot find anything to tell me how they are deployed and where to.

The changes I need to make are quite simple (typo's - a new phone number etc) but joining the dost is proving to be difficult to find.

Can anyone help?

Common practice would be to have a resource file (just a text file) holding that sort of information. In the Kprint/resources folder, have a look in there.

Deployment is done via FTP. This is where there is 1 central location for all Kprint forms, and then each individual server downloads the latest one if it does not have a copy of it - I think this is set the FTP locations settings from the file menu.

If you a single server setup though and running on NT is more than likely that everything is stored locally.


The one to bare in mind which always catches people out is when editing the documents and saving back - Make sure you save to the correct version for the Kprint server, otherwise the form wont work.

I have finally got a handle on what goes where based on yoru info .. very helpful.

Now all I need to do is work out how, having edited the Stationary Formats in Kerridge, I can deploy them to the KPrint server.

Any hnady hints and tips will be appreciated.

Normally it's just a case of copying them into the forms folder on the server running Kprint.

There are a few notes in the www.kcml.com FAQ's section on K-Print, which has now been re-written & re-branded as Print Manager

Not sure if things have changed with Kprint since becoming Print Manager, but in the past you needed a license for Kprint Form Editing. Without this license simple changes would need to be made by ADP for a fee. Licenses were very pricey if i remember correctly, so unless you are planning to make lots of changes, it may be more cost effective for ADP to edit them.
