We are big into TN3270 Telnet "Associated Printing" here and are getting to
the point where thousands of users will be added who need to get output off
the IBM JES2 Spool. Naturally the applications are not willing to modify
anything as to where they might put this output except the Warm and Fuzzy
JES2 Spool.
Has anyone implemented any kind of Web Print Server where
1. accessible using just a Web Browser
2. sucks the print off the Jes2 Spool
3. runs entirely on z/OS or maybe z/OS & Linux; makes it easier to stay
with our Disaster Recovery.
4. gives the user the output printed on them PC printers exactly like it
would have printed, text wise, on a JES2 Printer. Maybe converts it into a PDF
for viewing and later printing
5. Uses RACF Security for sign-on
6. Has the ability to requeue back to the JES2 Spool to print someplace
else on remote printers.
I think this is enough for someone to recognize if they are running something
close. Let me know either on list or offlist if needed.
thanks jim
