Well, I really have no idea what you are trying to get.
Are you trying to generate a PDF file, and back on ancient versions of the
OS you did this by printing to some attached Windows printer?
Or are you trying to print to this one physical printer and it only prints
PDF files?
Knowing the desired end result will really help. For example, on
currently supported versions of the OS I would load on the free 5770-TS1,
change a few parameters in a printer file and simply have that generate a
PDF file.

Subject: PDF Printer Not Working on 7.3
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.
