For Black-and-White printing only, we’re using HP Laserjet M402n.
Currently on sale for $169 at Best Buy.

For color laser printing, we’re using HP M477FNW.

So not only do the folks on the floor gets new, modern printers for their
Window’s printing, it configures just fine as a standard 3812 printer on
our AS400.

Note, we’re running on V7R2 if that matters to you. We bought on printer
to test it first, worked fine first time and ran with it.

Here’s a link to the printer on HP’s website. If you look at the specs
link, then “Printer Languages”, you’ll see it supports Direct-PDF. No
other packages or middle-man processes needed.

Hope this helps.

What HP printers are you using?

For the past few years, HP laserjet printers that one can buy new for
$120
support direct-PDF. We replaced most of our old and outdated AS400
printers with these. The benefit is that we use Scott Klement’s PRTSTMF
command to print .PDF files from our IFS to the printer directly from
the
AS/400.

For labels, we’re migrating to Zebra ZD500 thermal/ink printers with
also
support direct-PDF (with additional license). Again, with the PRTSTMF
command. Our .PDF labels have been printing with zero issues as well.

No 3rd party packages necessary. It’s been working flawless, and fast
for
us. Prior to this, it was an old Windows Server package that was just
causing us nothing but headaches over the years.

Retrieving the PDF with GETURI or HTTPAPI would be easy enough. From
there
you just need to figure out how to print it. Hopefully in your
database
you can then store the location and name of the file to associate it
with
the order.

Some printers you can send PDFs to and they will print (I believe via
FTP),
but not all of them.

I believe Printing PDFs from the IFS has been covered a few times over
the
years. If the archive search is working, give it a go. Or just a
Google
search may work too.

We have a trading partner that wants to begin sending us their
shipping
label instead of us generating it inhouse with UPS Worldship.

They have offered to either email us a PDF, or to include the URL of
the
label in the EDI document. Here's an example:
http://lb.123stores.com/bkaasv

What I would like to do is to automatically print this web page when
processing the inbound EDI file without any input from a user, but I'm
not
quite sure how to go about doing so? Suggestions?

Thanks
