RE: send system generated PDF to system I printer/out queue

[Richard Schoen <richard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jeff, 

We have a native solution for printing PDF files from the i.  

I can have one of my sales team members set you up with a demo if you like. 

The CL command is PDFPRINT and there's NO PC involved.  Just need to make sure you have PCL compatible lasers.

If you send us one of your sample PDF files we can test before we have you demo.

subject: send system generated PDF to system I printer/out queue

I am creating PDF invoices/acknowledgements  using overlays and saving them to a network share.  My next step is to email them to customers using RPG mail (I'm already using RPG mail for other scenarios so that part I can
handle).  Here is where I need help.   If no email address exist on the
system for that customer I'd like to send that PDF to a network HP printer connected via remote out queue.  Once customer service has that paper copy it will be a reminder that the email addresses for that customer needs to be entered. 

 

A while back I created a VB script to print excel spreadsheets from a
network share.   I would think I could probably use a similar VB script to
print the PDF since I know the path of the file I just created however I'd
like to keep the logic all on the system I if I can.        any ideas?
