Hello everyone,

I am helping a company that, believe it or not, is moving their AS/400 (yes, it is an AS/400) model 170 running V5R2 to a cloud provider. They bought that machine probaby in 1998 to get y2k compliant. They got their moneys worth and then some. They currently print invoices on a tractor feed form that are envelope size and are stuffed in an envelope and mailed out. We are looking to move that to a laser printer, but the first page will need to be on pre-printed form and all other pages need to print on regular paper. I have always done that in the past using AFPDS going to laser printers such as the IBM Infoprint printers with IPDS capabilities and we would print the first page from a drawer with the pre-printed form and the other pages from another drawer with plain paper. My question is how can we accomplish this if we just want to use a regular laser printer with multiple drawers but without IPDS capability? I would imagine it the spool file is defined as SCS, the drawer keyword in the DDS won't do anything, and I know if I send an AFPDS spool file to an non-IPDS printer, it just laughs at me and puts the spool file on hold.

Any insight is appreciated.

Thanks, Jon
