Re: Printing pdf data from teh AS/400

[Bradley Stone <bvstone@xxxxxxxxx>]

I think my reply got mixed in with a fast discussion, but we do offer the
ability to print a document that is in your IFS (or even via URL) via a
command or ILE subprocedure to any printer set up on Google Cloud Print.
http://www.google.com/cloudprint/learn/

It's a pretty neat piece of technology (Google Cloud Print, that is) and
would make this quite easy.

You could set up a printer anywhere in the world and print to it from your
IBM i.
