Hi, can 2Printer add the filename to the printout, similar to how it adds text via watermarks? I'd also like to add "_printed" to the end of the filename when moving the original file using the post-processing operation (-postproc switch).

Adding a filename to the printout automatically
To add the original file's name to your printout, use this sample command:
2Printer.exe -src "C:\In\*.*" -prn "MFP LaserJet" -oper textwatermark text:"{SrcFileName}.{SrcFileExt}"
Your printed pages will then show the original file's name in the top left corner:
If you want to adjust the watermark position, you can use the halign, valign, offx, and offy parameters. Learn more
Note: You can also set this watermark as the default. Use the Text watermark operation in 2Printer Settings following these steps:
- Run command 2Printer.exe -ini
- Switch to the Watermarks tab
- Add new → Text watermark
- Enter {SrcFileName}.{SrcFileExt} in the text field
- (Optional) adjust the watermark position using the options below
- Save the watermark by clicking OK
- Print your files using a basic 2Printer command (e.g., 2Printer.exe -src "C:\In\*.*" -prn "MFP LaserJet")
Adding a filename to the printout and "_printed" suffix when moving files to "successfully processed" folder
To add the source filename to the printout and append "_printed" when moving the file to a designated folder, use this command:
2Printer -src "C:\In\*.*" -prn "MFP LaserJet" -oper textwatermark text:"{SrcFileName}.{SrcFileExt}" -postproc passed:copy passed_dir:"C:\Out\_src" passed_name:"{*SrcFileName}.{*SrcFileExt}_printed"
As a result, your files will be printed with the source filename added, and the original file will be moved to the C:\Out\_src folder and named as "<filename>.<file extension>_printed".
