RE: GIF or JPEG printing still struggling

I got GIFs to print using

R GIFLABEL AFPRSC(&GIFLBLID 22 0.08 2.20 +
(*ROTATION 0) (*PATH &GIFPATH) +
(*SIZE 7 4) (*MAPOPT *ST))

I pass my label name to GIFLBIID and the path to GIFPATH within my RPG program and it works great (this is used to print UPS labels that are sent back from their API)


Now I need to print PDFs the same way but only get a blank page. I have tried component id's 25 and 49. Has anyone been able to print PDFs this way? I need this for printing FedEx labels.

Yes that's the same issue I was having. I got around that by converting PDF and then converting the PDF back to a userascii spool file. I know you mentioned in another thread that it doesn't work likely because it's a dell printer emulating Hp. So you really need to convert to pcl. There's a thread on experts exchange if you want to read up. Go to google and search for aix PDF to pcl.

Interested in ANY more ideas. I created a simple GIF with the letter
A on it.

We don't have any HP printers but the DELL printer I'm testing with
emulates HP
