Re: AFPDS printing or other recommendations

We generate a lot of pdf's that we email.

After reading your post Eddie I downloaded the PRTSTMF and gave it a test.

It failed but I am guessing it is just the printer configuration.

Could I ask what printer you are using to print the pdf's and the
associated device description.

Thanks

The error we receive is: CPI3373
Writer PRT07 cannot re-direct file QSYSPRT to device PRT07

re-direction was required because the page width, page length, lines per

printer which supports the attributes of file QSYSPRT or re-create the

specifying page width, page length, lines per inch and font attributes
that
are supported by the printer. If device PRT07 is a printer configured as

AFP(*YES), specify an image configuration object for the printer, or
re-create the file with a form definition and page definition and try
printing the file again. This allows some types of PC data to be
printed.

We generate all our reports as .PDF’s, and send them to the printer as a
stream file using Scott Klement’s PRTSTMF command. Would this help you?

I have figured out the printing and it is generating the print file as
needed. I can see the report in ACS as a PDF and it prints correctly

from

the PDF to the printer.

When I print it to my HP printer as a 3812 printer, it prints a blank

page.

I am using host print transform.

How should the printer be configured?
I assume it's a printer configuration issue. I have attached the
configuration below.
