Re: Any example available to print a PDF stored in database

Sending a PDF via *userascii is not slow for us. We found that the longest
amount of
Time was being wasted waiting for the printer to get ready. Our printer
vendor changed the sleep settings and other things and we are happy.

I print two ZPL spool files, convert them to a jpg using a web service on a
windows server, place those in the document, then print an overlay and
text. We see the printer start to light up and print usually within one
second

YMMV. We see 90-120 seconds per page, on a very low workload POWER 720.

Regarding ghostscript: we use gs to convert the pdf to pcl or ps (depending
on destination printer) and then send it as *USERASCII to the printer.
Works very fast.
