How do I setup a drop shortcut to print?

There are two methods available.

By default, the desktop shortcut set up to the Print Wizard installer will cause the file dropped on it to print with the default Print Wizard settings including auto-fit, auto-margins, etc.

For more advanced printing needs, you can go through the Print Wizard User Interface program (PWUI) and define a "profile". These profiles determine what to do when processing a job with a profile, including the ability to print with specific options set.When you define the profile, PWUI will ask if you want to create a desktop shortcut. If you answer yes, you will end up with a desktop icon that you can drag and drop files on.

If you want to manually set up a shortcut, you can do so by including the profile name on the command line, or target line, for the shortcut:

C:\Program Files\Printwiz30\printwiz.exe /profile=myprofile.profile

You can take this further by setting up the drag/drop profile to do one of the following:

• Always fax to a specific number
• Include specific fax information, such as the subject, notes line and attachments
• Always ask where to fax to

You can then open up your Windows Explorer or other file applications and drag a file from there and drop it on this shortcut to email as you need.
