For years on V5R1 and V5R4 I used PDF printers on Windows that I configured
and used for System i reports also. Originally it was the PDF printer from
Adobe and for the last 5-6 years it has been PDF995.

The printer on the System i was created using:



CRTDEVPRT DEVD(PZ) DEVCLS(*VRT) TYPE(3812) MODEL(1)

ONLINE(*YES) CTL(QVIRCD0001) FONT(11

*NONE) FORMFEED(*AUTOCUT)

SEPDRAWER(*FILE) PRTERRMSG(*INFO)

MSGQ(*LIBL/QSYSOPR) TRANSFORM(*NO)

PPRSRC1(*MFRTYPMDL) PPRSRC2(*MFRTYPMDL)

ENVELOPE(*MFRTYPMDL) ASCII899(*NO)

IMGCFG(*NONE) TEXT('PDF Printer')

DEPLOCNAME(*NONE)



Well, we finally moved to a 7.3 system. The printer is still defined the
same way on the new System i. And, it seems, I created in Windows using the
ACS Session Manager using the "Other Printer" option and the PFD995 device.



But, when I move a report to PZ, the report disappears (is completed) on the
System i but never "prints" in my open/connected PZ printer on my PC. If
the PZ printer is not connected in Windows (ACS), it stays in 'Ready' mode
on the System i, which is naturally as it should be.



I hope I have included sufficient information, but I'm willing to supply
more. Any suggestions as to where I should search for the problem/solution
would be appreciated.
