I see two options here. You need to make it so the printer can process raw
PDF files, as it apparently cannot right now, due to a memory constraint.
Or, you need convert the PDF to an image that host print transform can
handle when printing. For the second option, we use IBM's Infoprint
Server, which has a transform manager product that converts the PDF output
to an image. Being IBM, its not quite as easy as it should have been, but
we made it work. Maybe there is another option, but that is what we
already had on hand.

Subject: ZPL, EPL printing to HP LaserJet
Sent by: "MIDRANGE-L" <midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
My previous project about getting a GIF from a xml document and printing it
on a packing slip (PRTF) has hit a snag.
After getting the image, I save the image and use the AFP resource on the
printer file and have the printer file create a PDF. Then I use QIMGCVTI
procedure to convert the PDF back to a spool file of *USERASCII.
Everything worked fine on our IT printer. The issue came about when we
tried printing on their HP LaserJet 4350. They are getting an error
stating "PDF file not printed 128 MB of memory is required to enable
direct PDF printing.
". Unfortunately, I cannot tell you where this message was displayed.
I've been working from the hospital with my daughter so I haven't seen it
personally.
I changed the IMGCFG Keyword to *IMGA01 on CHGDEVPRT command which I think
may be wrong for the printer type. I think it needs to be *IMGA02.
I will be testing that tomorrow morning. But in the meantime...
I've found out that I don't have to request a GIF image from UPS, the label
print method could be ZPL, EPL, or SPL. Is there anyway I can take that
information and feed to the HP LaserJet 4350 using a workstation
customization object? Maybe QWPDEFAULT or some other?
My experience with Zebra Label printing is very limited. I would need to
print this on a PRTF spool file. There are other things with the printer
file that need to be kept. Such as rotating some of the text 90 degrees
using the TXTRTT command.
