Re: Printing more than one document, only prints first

Yes it starts with PDF. FTP works sending the PDF's from the IFS using Mput.

We convert those pdfs to a spool file using qcvtimg(?) and that generates a *userascii spool file.

Releasing all 5 spool files to the printer only the first one prints.

We don't think it would be good to go to production using FTP to send the pdfs to the printer. Users are used to changing printer names or holding and releasing spool files.

Note that so far the HP, Xerox and Ricoh printers we've tried are working. The Kyocera's just don't.

I don't recommend Kyoceras. They have a proprietary pcl language as default. In NJ, our reseller and their upper level resources have no idea what an IBM i is. They recommend creating a remote outq which is V5r4 stuff. And it still doesn't work.

My understanding is that a *USERASCII spool is streamed straight to the
printer as is. You say ftp-ing pdf works, but that is one doc with multiple
pages I guess? And are you sure that the spool content is really pdf, i.e.
that it starts with "%PDF-" ?

If we FTP the documents directly to the printer, they print fine.

How do the *USERASCII PDF's that are sitting as ASCII spool files get sent
to the printer when we release them? Are they going through another
conversion to PCL?
