When you're working in Photoshop, you can decide exactly when you want the Panels to start.
Connect with neoStampa's Print Server
The first time you open the panel, you need to establish a connection to the Print Server to send your designs to the printer. In the Print, Server workstation start your Print Server process so that it remains active.
