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

Ghostscript is officially available from the IBM yum open source packages these days.

It can render to a PCL file and other print formatted files and then you should be able to copy that raw *USERASCII file into a spool entry using something like Scott Klements PRTSTMF.

Hi Lucia

Are these printers different? Do they support printing PDFs directly? If not, you would get nonsense, right? Do you have to define the DEVD as *USERASCII? I saw the posts you sent to a couple forums those years ago, about PRTSTMF, so I'm sure you have asked these questions already!!
