When you say that the 5 spools sent to the Kyocera - one prints, but all 5
go to SAV status?
That's an indication the Kyocera accepted all 5. Then failed to print
2,3,4,5...
1. Does the Kyocera give you view access of their print jobs?
2. You have also not given us the definition of the printer on the system to
evaluate...
3. Have you consulted this IBM doc on Kyocera printers? What model is it?

4. qcvtimg - do you mean this and are you doing the exit program to process
PDF?
...from the v7r1 api finder
The Convert Image (OPM, QIMGCVTI; ILE, QimgCvtImg) API converts an image or
print data stream from one format to another, and optionally prints the
result. The input and output data streams can reside in a stream file, a
spooled file, or main storage. The supported input data stream formats are
Graphics Interchange Format (GIF), Tag Image File Format (TIFF), OS/2R and
WindowsR Bitmap (BMP), and PostScript Level. The supported output data
stream formats are Advanced Function PresentationT, Hewlett-Packard Printer
Control Language (PCL), and PostScript Level 1.
In addition to the input data stream formats listed above, the following
input data stream formats may be supported through the use of a valid
registered exit program: Hewlett-Packard Printer Control Language (PCL) and
Portable Document Format (PDF). In addition to the output data stream
formats listed above, the following output data stream format may be
supported through the use of a valid registered exit program: PostScript
(including Level 2 and above). By specifying UNKNOWN for the input data
stream or the output data stream, the user may also, through the use of a
valid registered exit program, transform data streams that are not listed
here.

Subject: 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?
