RE: printing PDF from IFS on AS400

I have noticed that in a pc dos shell I can send a PDF file to a PC network
atached printer, using something like :
c:>  copy thepdf.pdf > 172.16.....

So I would guess, (never tested),  that if you had a java lpd and  lpr, you
might be able to send the raw pdf file to that printer, and have the printer
print the file for you, instead of you trying to render it your self...

Just a thought...
