Check the manual...
Otherwise just try it. If they have an FTP interface, you can just
try FTPing a PDF to them.
I have printers that are 5+ years old that understand PDF.
Since PDF and Postscript (PS) are so closely related, it wasn't a big
deal for mfgs to add PDF to a PS printer.

seen Scotts PRTSTMF command and plan on attempting to use that, but
you wrote
The key is, can your printers natively understand PDF? If they are
somewhat recent, the answer is probably yes.
The printers are NOT recent. Is there a way to determine if they can
understand PDF?
My instincts are saying that they will NOT be able to understand
PDF, but that needs to be determined

Alan,
The key is, can your printers natively understand PDF? If they are
somewhat recent, the answer is probably yes.
In that case, all you seend to do is send the file to the printer.
- via FTP (assuming your printer has an FTP server)
- via the spooling subsystem using Scott's PRTSTMF or some other
method of copying the data to a *USERASCII printer (spool) file.
As Bryan mentions, this has come up before, check the archives.

Hi everyone--
Hope you had a really merry Christmas, and hope you have a really
great New Year Before I forget - because I generally do, we are on
V5r4
We are in the process of using a new courier, and part of that
process is to receive data from the courier, via web services,
decode it from
Base64 and unzip the data We seem to have this working The end
result is that we have 2 sets of data One is for labels - which we
have printed, and the second is pdf files I have searched the
internet on how to print pdf files from the AS/400 - with no
success I have been told that it's the printers we are printing to
I have also been told that we need to load some software onto the
AS/400 to convert FROM pdf to some other format
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Do we need new printers? If so - which type?
Do we need software? If so - what?
I can (hopefully) answer any questions that needs to be asked
