Title: Printing a PDF file on an AS/400 printer

We are converting AS/400 spool files to PDF files for e-mailing and it works great!  (We use Spool-a-matic from Gumbo Software because it handles SCS and AFP print streams and is strictly AS/400 - no downloading to PC's, etc.)  Now, I'd like to know if anyone has come up with a program that will let me print that PDF file (an IFS stream file) to an AS/400-attached printer.  I'd like to print to an HP laser printer (HP 4) which is attached with a Extended Systems' ExtendNet print server, and serviced using a remote outq.  Anyone done this, thought about how this might be done, or interested in writing a program to do it?

If you're wondering why I don't just print the original spool file directly, it's because it is AFP and has a lot of stuff in it that Host Print Transform doesn't handle well.

Thanks,
Dave
