Re: Printing GIF with AFPDS printer file. -- MIDRANGE-L

So I was able to get the QIMGCVTI/QimgCvtImg api to work. However, I don't
think this is what I need. Because I don't see how I can get the image to
the printer file in the position I need it and the orientation needed.

Here is the code I was able to get working in case someone else needs it.

I am amazed by the lack of examples using the QIMGCVTI, QimgCvtImg APIs.

A lot of people asking for examples, but not getting any answers. I'm
going to give a shot and see what happens. I'm not completely sure what
needs to go into the data structures. So I'll see how it goes. Ask
questions as I go. Sorry!

Now that I think about it, I believe I found that before the last time I

I changed it to 22 and it still prints the image. But it only does it

if I

override the printer file to *PDF and to the IFS. Which requires me to

then

open in Adobe and print.

This would be a problem for us as the account will be printing a batch

of

these, usually more than 100.

Obviously, I could run a windows command to print. But that seems
troublesome and I don't believe that would work in a submitted job. I

say

don't believe because I've never tried and a submitted job; wouldn't

have a

terminal to a pc.

It probably wouldn't print as you say, because there wouldn't be windows
attached. That said, I wonder if it would be possible to print via qsh
(or similar) by using a *nix pdf print program or more directly calling
a java one? Obviously that would depend on getting the source, and/or a
successful compile in the *nix environment or java language (both of
which I have no experience with in the IBM/i world).

Anyway, is there any way I could get this to print from a spool file

much

like a page segment or overlay?

From what I've seen we need to have InfoPrint Server or something like
that. How can I tell if we have that?

Or can I take the base64 string and create an overlay/page segment?

We are printing to an HP printer. I test using HP OfficeJet Pro X476

dnMFP

Production printer will be HP LaserJet 4350dtn

I tried using Scott's PRTSTMF, but it's cutting off the last inch of the
page and telling the printer that I need to put legal paper in. I don't
know why.

That's the way I read it...

Strange that they don't have a symbolic constant for GIF.

That is indeed interesting. Am I reading it right that the image

type

there is 22, and not some symbolic constant?
