Is it possible to 'start' a print job remotely?
I have looked all through to help files and software docs relating to ‘Printing & monitoring remotely with GrabCAD Print Server’. I have the GrabCad server set up and running. I can see my printer and the queue remotely, but I am having difficulty figuring out how to actually 'start' the print job.

It is not capable to 'Start' remotely. On our machines, 450MC and 1200es you can complete everything except for the last step which is physically walking over and hitting the start button on screen.
I have heard that this is set up so that there are no errors when queuing up jobs and so that it knows there is always a build sheet installed, but I feel like those are minimal excuses to not allow it to start remotely. I have not looked into the matter too much and there may be scenarios or 'work-around' that allow you to do so with a third party application or whatnot, but from my experience it is not available from the GranCAD Print application.
