Re: *afpds spooled file not printing correctly on ip attached printer

[Bradley Stone <bvstone@xxxxxxxxx>]

Richard,

I have (must not get my newsletter!  lol).

They currently don't give access to certain APIs via the interface required
for the IBM i since there's no integrated browser via OAuth 2.0.  They may
via the depreciated login process, but that's going away in a couple years
so I chose not to go down that route.

I've already integrated Google Cloud Print and Google Calendar (
www.bvstools.com/g4g.html) using OAuth 2.0, which is what Google is using
now for security.

I would have (and will have) a lot more features (such as google drive) if
they allowed access to the APIs for us running that would use a service
type account.  But I want to keep it native to the IBM i.  And they claim
that they will be opening up API access in the future.

Yes, once could probably "Fake" the web interface but that would be MESSY.
