Re: Apogee PDF RIP named pipe port installation

Start menu --> settings --> Printers

The printers list opens. From that window, select: File --> Server Properties

Select "ports" tab.

Select "Add Port" button

Enter the line below:

\\.\pipe\pdfip

You now have a new port. However, this only works if the PDF Rip has its named pipe input set to "pdfrip." I believe that is the default (what my old Series 3 RIP has at the moment, and I never changed it). If the named pipe is not correct, you will have to open the RIP Tuner and detect what the named pipe lists for a name and modify the line above.

From here you may create a printer using a PPD generated by the RIP and set its port to the new one you have created. That will direct anything printed to that printer, to the RIP itself.

"The system cannot find the file specified"



Any help will be appreciated.
