I get asked how to direct a PDF directly from the IFS to a printer all the
time. Never really had a good answer as there doesn't seem to be anything
native (that I know of, maybe there is with V6 or V7).

but...

I have some new software that lets you print to a Google Cloud Printer
right from the IBM i command line. That means you can send a PDF file from
the IFS, or give it a URL where a PDF is online and it will print it to any
printer you have set up as a Google Cloud Printer.

Contact me for more info and I'll explain. :)

Sure, most printers nowadays can print PDFs directly.

well that is not good. Since Gumbo does a good job of printing the
AFPDS spooled file to PDF, I wonder if I can route the PDF file to the
IP attached printer somehow.

anyway, thanks Charles.

Because the AFPDS to ASCII conversion has some limitations...

I have an *AFPDS spooled file, that is produced using a DDS PRTF, The
PRTF uses the CHRSIZ keywork to print the report heading in a large
font. And then the BARCODE keyword to print a barcode. When I use
Gumbo to email this spooled file to me as a PDF document the document
prints as it should. However, when I print the spooled file to a
connection type *IP output queue the output is off. Text overlaps
other text. The heading line with the CHRSIZ keyword does not print.
But the barcode prints.

Why would this *AFPDS spooled file not print correctly on an *IP
attached laser printer? When I WRKOUTQD I see that host transform is
set to *YES and there is a workstation customizing object for an HP
printer.

thanks,
