Re: Convert image file

[Brad Stone <bvstone@xxxxxxxxx>]

Kent,

Not sure about converting images, but if you want to convert the spooled
file to PDF first, I have a utility built into my SPLTOOL software (
www.bvstools.com/spltool.html) that will allow you to add a image (or
barcode) to an existing PDF in the IFS.  Then once that's done you could
print it.

Just another option.  Here is more info:
