Tom ... I'm curious why you would pursue a "PDF capable printer" instead of cranking out PostScript from CICS, or generating PostScript. It's easy to do.
PostScript is a 4th-like language (where, for those unfamiliar with it, there was once a language called "4th" and PS is like it). I never learned 4th, but was blessed with a PostScript based workstation once upon a time. Good stuff! The nasty part about PostScript is that you have to have a PS interpreter. But if that is built-in to the printer, then you're in business and ready to run. I cannot objectively compare PS to PCL. Perhaps others can. The high point about PS from my perspective is that it is plain text. (That is, version 1 was entirely plain printable characters, though version 2 and up allows binary stuff, but does not to my knowledge require it.) -- R; ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
