RE: Print images to network printer -- MIDRANGE-L

FYI, .NET doesn't have native PDF printing capabilities. You must resort to "hacks" that convert the PDF file to a TIFF (using non-native libraries such as ghostscript) and then send it to the printer using the native printing libraries or do shell executes to Adobe Acrobat to print.

The more elegant solution, is to buy something like Aspose PDF for .Net. With it you can print PDF files with about 5 lines of code and it's a 100% .NET native library.

The files will be either PDF or TIF. Older files are TIF and newer ones are PDF.

What kind of "images"? TIFF? JPEG?

I have a requirement to be able to print images stored on our IFS on a
business group's printer. Some of these print requests can run into
the tens of thousands of pages.

Is anyone printing images to network printers from the i? If so,
would you mind sharing how you do it?
