Re: HP FONT download to SCS laser

If it were me, I'd try FTP'ing directly to the printer's address.  Just go
into binary mode and PUT the file to the printer.

Does anyone know how to send a true type font (binary physical file or IFS
file) to a TCP attached printer natively, without using third party
products
or additional licensed programs or writing their own programs.

Using the CPYF font.ttf  *PRINT might work with the right overrides or
*PRTF
but I am fuzzy on this.

This really old DOS PC coomand works using a binary copy:
COPY /B selectfont.bin \\myserver\myprinter
COPY /B font.ttf \\myserver\myprinter
COPY /B makeperm.bin \\myserver\myprinter

the cp command in QSHELL does not seem to be able to address iSeries
printer
devices or queues for output? can they?
I would use an environment variable QIBM_QSH_CMD_OUTPUT('DEV=PRT01')
If that was legal.
I would be nice if this would work;
addenvvar QIBM_QSH_CMD_OUTPUT('FILE=qsys.lib/qusrsys/qsysprt.file')

How can I do this on a V5R2 modern machine without finishing the RPG
program
I am writing to do it?
