RE: Infoprint successor

Adam,

        Which would you recommend: PS or PCL?

        Wrote one RPG to output PS to a file and it worked fairly well.
        Biggest problem was getting it to printer. (HP 4000).  Have not
discovered way to output directly to printer :(.  Had to print to
Generic / Text Only from PC.

        Jim

I would recommend moving away from IPDS printing (if that is what you
are
doing) and use Postscript or PCL.  You'll most liekly find a lot more
tools. Be able to use a variety fo different prints, cause frankly, IBMs
printers and their printer support sucks.  We moved out print to PCL and
canon printers because we couldn't deal with IBM and their pritners
anymore.

We're an insurance company also.
