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

["Jeff Elam" <jelam@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm going to try this route, any ideas on why I get the following when I try
to install ghostscript?  I get this type of error on both files.  

tar -xf ghostscript.8.54.tar.z                                          
tar: 0511-169 A directory checksum error on media; 0 not equal to 53120.

Thanks,

Jeff

Hi Jeff,

That is fairly easy if you have PASE installed on your IBMi.

That involves:
1) Convert your PDF to PCL using ghostscript.
2) FTP the generated file into a printer file.
3) Print the new printer file into ANY printer or remote queue attached to
the IBMi.

I can help if you need more specifics on how to implement it.

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?

 

Thanks,

 

Jeff
