Has anyone implemented this feature to act as something like Adobe Distiller
except for the AS400?  Just curious, because this seems like it would be a
great tool.

Thanks again

lp5250d env.DEVNAME=PRT03 'outputcommand=scs2pdf /tmp/spoolfile$$.pdf'
192.168.0.2

That's the command I ran, and prt03 is created, and I don't seem to be
getting error messages when I print to it, however I don't seem to get
any files created either, and I ran the command as root on the linux box

:<

Im doing this because we are having a lot of remote users being added
(connecting via an Ipsec tunnel) and they have to all use PRT03 since
anything past 3 won't work on their network connection, but local prints
work fine on prt04 etc

So I figure if I can print to files, Ill work on a script to take the
file printed by a specific user and have it auto copied to a dir where
they can download it (or have it SMB mounted) and then they can do a
local print
