The technical description of the process involves connecting to an FTP server using an FTP client software, downloading the specific file you want to print, opening the file using the appropriate software, selecting the print option, configuring the print settings, and finally starting the printing process. The process essentially involves establishing a data connection between the FTP client software and the FTP server to transfer files over the internet. Once the file is downloaded and opened, the printing process takes place using the local computer’s printer resources.
