Update to Standard Printer

Note: Print Distributor has now been discontinued.

14 August 2017

The Standard Virtual Printer in Print Distributor captures documents using a TCP/IP loopback port. This used to be set to port 9100 and incremented for each new printer. With this release we have increased the base to 9200 and allowed you to set a custom value. This should avoid conflicts with any printer software listening on port 9100.

There is also a small change to the Ghostscript action, it now tries to write a dummy file before creating the PDF. This flushes out any errors with permissions which are quite hard to trap with Ghostscript.

This is a free update for users with license for versions 5.xx, 6.xx and 2017.xx.
