Thanks Brad. I doubt they'll want to apy for this, but I'll suggest it. Thanks Adam Brad Jensen <brad@elstore.com> To: midrange-l@midrange.com Sent by: cc: midrange-l-admin@mi Subject: Re: List of iSeries supported printers drange.com 29/11/01 10:45 AM Please respond to midrange-l MARYLOU ATWELL wrote: > > Hi, > > Mostly every one in the School District has a printer thru Emulation. > (The don't like to go "running" for the output.) (I'm about to mention a product as a possible solution to the 'support my printer'problem, if you don't like such mentions please skip to next message, thanks.) Another alternative is to use something we are just putting on the market, PDFMAILER. PDFMAILER is a LPD (Line Printer Daemon) that runs on a PC TCP/IP attached to the AS/400. Set up a PDFMAILER PC printq for each destination (such as a user who now prints thru emulation). Each printq can have a default email address, subject line, and message. Then set that printq as the output writer for that person's outq. Then everything that goes to that ouqw, is printed to PDFMAILER, converted to a PDF file, and emailed to that destination. Now your users get their print files as PDF files - which means they can save them and not lose them, they can print it on any lan or pc attached printer (and it will print correctly on all sorts of different printers). You'll save time, paper, toner, and headaches. You can also print directly to it using the LPR command on the AS/40-0, and set a from/to/subject to send a print file to a specific destination. No software ont he AS/400, just the LPR command. You can set PDFMAILER to only accept print from a certain IP for a certain printq. You can also set up new printqs on the PC, from the AS/400 side by printing a dummy file to the printq *CONFIG (with a password of course) setting the new printw name and parameters. It supports SCS and AFP print files, but not IPDS. Runs on any old PC you can find - we run ours on a print server used for networking printing.
