Copying Encrypted Files to a Printer

Once an encrypted print job has been created, it needs to be sent to a printer. The
exact details of this process will vary from installation to installation. What follows
are some general guidelines.

Microsoft DOS or Windows Command Line Environments

After aesCrypt has created the encrypted job file, the copy command may be used
to send the file to a printer. The following examples assume the encrypted job has
been placed in a file called encrypted.prn:

The command

copy /b encrypted.prn lpt1:

will copy the encrypted file to a printer attached to a local parallel port or a port
that has been "captured" by a network printer. The /b switch is required to insure
that a "binary", not a standard "text", copy is performed.

The command

copy /b encrypted.prn \\10.0.0.224\lj4100

will copy the encrypted file to the printer share named lj4100 on the computer at IP
address 10.0.0.224. The computer's network name may, and probably should, be
used instead of its IP address. Note that this printer share must not be running an
encrypting printer driver because the printer would be unable to decrypt the
doubly encrypted file.

Microsoft Windows Graphical Environment

The aesCrypt utility may be incorporated directly into the printer driver when
running under Microsoft Windows. Contact Capella Technologies for more
information.

UNIX and Linux Environments

The aesCrypt utility is available for several UNIX and Linux environments. Contact
Capella Technologies for more information.
