Line 249:
The laser setup is a bit clunky since we're making it so that multiple computers can use a single laser, which is not a normal feature of Trotec JobControl. This section attempts to describe the setup so it can be recreated as necessary,
 
JobControl uses the "Spool Directory" optionconfig to know what jobs to load. JobControls installs its own driver that pretends to be a normal printer,
 
Essentially, we need to "trick" the printer driver from the desktops into sending a job to a remote JobControl instance, hosted on the laser laptop.
 
The way that the lab is setup is that, the lab computers mounts a network drive shared from the computer connected to the laser, at the time of writing is the "X:\\" directory. The laser computer is then accessed by VNC, which should be an icon on the desktop of both computers
 
The JobControl executable should be renamed to prevent the executable from loading when "printing" a job from Adobe illusttrator.
