I've used AccuTerm, wIntegrate, FTP, rcp, cp, COPY and others I cannot even
remember their names. I used them for conversions, setup demos, setup
development accounts, etc. They all are slow, sometimes they do not copy
all of the data, and or require multiple steps. Must I learn archaic codes
The same is true for HTTP based services, provided the service is secured
for Internet querying or a VPN is in place for WAN requests. The only time
port 80/443 are issues is when the PC is locked down due to a strict IAP. If
you have a bridged VPN you can even use Windows/Samba shares across

Spell out what you want to achieve and I'm sure several solutions will be

Later versions of AccuTerm support Print Wizard which will process
documents that use PCL5 for formatting and print them on any Windows
printer, or send the document as a pdf via email or fax. Lots of
other bells whistles. The hooks to call Print Wizard can be used to
pass the slave print job

Print Wizard can work for this as well. One possibility is to use the LPD
protocol from the server, and run
On file transfer: Kevin King explained to me how he can use directory
files in Universe to create a file that is visible to the underlying OS.
This raises the possibility of firing off an OS-based file transfer
protocol (such as 'sz' for Zmodem) to do a robust transfer. What do you
think?

Glen, the goal is to be able to print a label on a laser printer from a

You will need to write sequentially (OPENSEQ, WRITESEQ) to make the DIR
file not only visible but also usable to the OS, though.
Unless you use CR:LF at the end of every line instead of attributes of
course.
I just changed a program today that was using the proprietary SB+
interface to write text
I'd opt for print wizard unless you want to hard code the PCL and
avoid middleware. You can code the PCL font and spacing escape codes
directly in your app and just print the code to the slave printer like
normal. It's a little more design time, but it'll be a fairly static
setup. If
If the default printer on the remote session is used for the label and for
all other documents, then you don't need this code at all, but I figured I'd
post it anyway for reference.
Here's the code I use to change the default printer in Accuterm:

Kevin, now that you're asking questions like this, perhaps the
demos I've provided for PrintWizard would be of value:
nospamNebula-RnD.com/products/PW/demo2.htm
(Nebula RD does not sell or support PrintWizard)
That's BASIC code to provide text positioning, styles,
justfication, images, barcodes,
While the PW thing looks cool, and especially the integration with AccuTerm,
the customer is on an earlier version of AccuTerm and I'm not entirely
certain I can convince them to upgrade. But... we have some really good
ideas floating around here, and I appreciate all the input.

If that's the case, then check out HTMLDOC. You can generate PS from an
HTML file and then have Ghostscript create a pcl3 file from that using the
pcl3 output device option. You can then dump that file through the slave
printer and clean up the temp files.
I'm not 100% proven on the PCL
If you can, email the user a pdf :-)
I went to a lot of trouble many years ago printing via samba on AIX to local

As a former devoted fan of HtmlDoc I'd now vote against it.
- It only supports most HTML 3.2 specs, not all. These days
anything that doesn't support HTML 4 is downright primitive.

We have a strange result happening with a simple soap service call and I was

We have 3 different soap calls: SSN.VERF, SSN.VERF.SUP SSN.SUBMIT. Each
