Re: How to print an IFS PDF file on a LAN printer

What I can't do is to have these PDFs sent to a physical printer: the
methods I know about (reading file from IFS and sent it to an *USERASCII
print file or FTP it) both require the physical printer to accept direct
print, so at this time I am struggling with it.

It seems there is no way (except Infoprint) to make the conversion in the
Ibm system before sending the spool file to the physical printer.

Someone else mentioned using Ghostscript to convert PDF to other
formats (presumably one that your printer can handle directly).
Ghostscript is freely available software, and it's already been built
for PASE, released by IBM as a yum-installable RPM.
