Hi Jeff,
That is fairly easy if you have PASE installed on your IBMi.
That involves:
1) Convert your PDF to PCL using ghostscript.
2) FTP the generated file into a printer file.
3) Print the new printer file into ANY printer or remote queue attached to the IBMi.

I can help if you need more specifics on how to implement it.

Subject: send system generated PDF to system I printer/out queue
I am creating PDF invoices/acknowledgements using overlays and saving them to a network share. My next step is to email them to customers using RPG mail (I'm already using RPG mail for other scenarios so that part I can
handle). Here is where I need help. If no email address exist on the
system for that customer I'd like to send that PDF to a network HP printer connected via remote out queue. Once customer service has that paper copy it will be a reminder that the email addresses for that customer needs to be entered.
A while back I created a VB script to print excel spreadsheets from a
network share. I would think I could probably use a similar VB script to
print the PDF since I know the path of the file I just created however I'd
like to keep the logic all on the system I if I can. any ideas?
Thanks,
Jeff
