using Rfile

[dhanuxp]

Hi All,

I want to pdf to spool using Rfile, it creates spool but It is not printed the content in pdf file but some unrelated info
(I have tried with Scott's PrtStmf command but result is same)

cat -c /tmp/test2.pdf | Rfile -wbQ -c "ovrprtf file(qprint) devtype(*userascii) outq(PRT10) splfname(qshprt) hold(*yes)" qprint

Can someone please show me the right way...

PS : PRT10 is connected lexmark printer
Thanks

Re: using Rfile

Neither the 'cat' command nor the 'prtstmf' utility understands the internals of a PDF. They will NOT interpret the PDF document and render them in the printer's language. To do that, you need a program such as Adobe Reader.

Tools like cat/prtstmf only copy the raw data from the PDF to the printer. And are only useful if the printer itself understands PDF format and can render it itself.
