Re: *afpds spooled file not printing correctly on ip attached printer

Richard,

I have (must not get my newsletter! lol).

They currently don't give access to certain APIs via the interface required
for the IBM i since there's no integrated browser via OAuth 2.0. They may
via the depreciated login process, but that's going away in a couple years
so I chose not to go down that route.

I've already integrated Google Cloud Print and Google Calendar (
www.bvstools.com/g4g.html) using OAuth 2.0, which is what Google is using
now for security.

I would have (and will have) a lot more features (such as google drive) if
they allowed access to the APIs for us running that would use a service
type account. But I want to keep it native to the IBM i. And they claim
that they will be opening up API access in the future.

Yes, once could probably "Fake" the web interface but that would be MESSY.

Brad,

You probably need to look into the Java API for Google Drive access.

It looks to be available.

We're currently embarking on a project to integrate google docs and google
apps into our doc management apps.

Jeff,

With Google Cloud Print you can print to your google drive as an option,
but right now Google doesn't allow access to the APIs needed to work with
Google Drive (for our type of "non-browser" devices).

When they do, it will be an option for sure in my GreenTools for Google
Apps product. As will others. Right now it's just Google Cloud Print and
Google Calendar.

But, if you don't mind if the file goes right into the root dir of your
google drive, the Google Cloud Print option will work. I have asked the
Google Team to add options to use GCP to put it into Drive and a specific
directory, so far nothing. :)

I don't believe this will help with rendering unless the printer has
PDF rendering built-in.

I believe this utility stuffs the raw PDF into a spool entry. That's
probably why it works with raw postscript files if you have
postscript printers.
