Before you can print the pdf you need to convert it to a .ps file You can download and install ghostscript (free) on the hp system, then use the pdf2ps convertor that comes with it. pdf2ps can be run separately to product a ps file that is then spooled to a postscript printer, or it can be incorporated as the backend process of a print queue specifically designated to print pdf's. -- Carl Dula Voice: 973-227-8440 X111 Pulsar Systems, Inc.Fax: 973-227-8440 271 US Highway 46, STE H209 email:c...@pulsarsystems.com Fairfield, NJ 07004-2474http://www.pulsarsystems.com ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users

I don't know whether the hp7460 is one of them, but a lot of modern printers are pdf printers. If it's a postscript printer there's a decent chance it's also a pdf printer. In which case, just copy the the pdf to the printer (dump it to tcp:9100, ftp it across, dump the file across the raw connection, whatever) and the printer will recognise and print it. Just look at the options the printer's network card offers you for transferring print jobs.

That's just the title that shows up at the top of the reader window.

Re: [U2] How do you print a .pdf from inside a Unix Box
As long as the pdf extension has been linked to a reader program in windows, it should be opening up the document in the reader program automatically. I have used the acrobat reader switch to automatically print before (bringing up the Windows printer dialog, I mean to say), but not with the start command - never had a good reason to, most people want to preview what they print anyway. I did use it back when I called the acrobat reader program directly. I switched to start because that kept me from having to worry about where the reader program was located and what it was called - that gets changed a lot I've noticed. -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Bruce Conway - Bamac LTD Sent: Thursday, April 04, 2013 2:15 PM To: 'U2 Users List' Subject: Re: [U2] How do you print a .pdf from inside a Unix Box Oh Dave, This just opens the window.

Re: [U2] How do you print a .pdf from inside a Unix Box
Sometimes the hardest information to find is that what you want to do isn't possible. So let me tell you what is and what isn't possible, in printing PDFs in Windows. 1) You can OPEN a PDF based on its file extension. From the command line, you can simply type type pathname of the PDF. From Windows Explorer, you can double-click. These use a system in Windows called file associations. Specifically here, you're using the OPEN verb. In the Windows registry there is a command associated with .PDF and open; typically it runs Adobe Reader. Once open, it is up to the user to print the file. 2) You can also execute the command string yourself, if you know what EXE to use. That is what you cited in a later email. 3) In Windows Explorer, you can also right-click on a PDF and select Print, to cause Windows to print the file on the default printer. This is using the print verb in the file association. Behind the scenes, this will run a command, typically running Adobe Reader with a /p parameter (for print). 4) There is NOT an equivalent way to do this from the command line. 5) You can create a shortcut to a specific printer on your desktop. Then you can drag a PDF to this shortcut, and it MAY print on this (non-default) printer. This uses the less-documented printto verb in the system of file associations. Support in Reader for printing in this way has varied by version. 6) There is NOT an equivalent way to do this from the command line. 7) You MIGHT be able to invoke Reader with some command line parameters to cause it to print on a specific printer. Results may vary by version. 8) NONE of these will let you control various output options in Reader, such as whether the report should be shrunk to fit the printable page. 9) All of these assume that the PDF file to be printed exists on the Windows PC, or is accessible to it, such as via Samba. None will pull the file from an HTTP or FTP server. Bottom line is that there is not a good and convenient way to do this using Windows commands. However, we offer a solution, in the form of our Print Wizard product. Consider the following command: printwiz.exe http://somehost.com/somefile.pdf /pMy laserjet printer This will bring up printwiz.exe, which will fetch the PDF from the http server into memory (never being stored on the local disk), and print it to the specified printer. Printwiz is doing the PDF interpretation itself, it is not using any Adobe or other products. There are a huge number of other options, such as shrink-to-fit, page range, multiple copies, password entry, preview, watermarking, form overlaying, and more.

[U2] c#/uniobject/chinese/spanish characters
hi all, anyone care to share any suggestions on the best way to create pick records that include chinese/spanish characters via c# and uniobjects or just c# and writing to a unix file? I have some ideas I am mulling around in my head but I thought I'd tap into the vast knowledge base available on here. I am basically looking at creating a pick record (or a unix one) that is a mixture of html and text (in english/chinese and spanish). any thoughts/suggestions are extremely welcomed thanks dougc ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
Re: [U2] c#/uniobject/chinese/spanish characters
way easier, + CREATE-FILE DICT BLOB + edit voc entry to create a VOC file pointer to a ../udir/blob on line 002 + write said files to file BLOB keeping the record keys in a pick record, + open 'BLOB' as a file, OS thinks it is a Type 1 file, to READU, SELECT, SORT etc + !!!DO NOT!!! READ record (unless you want to trash the file and possibly your whole system!) , but can select, sort, etc on key. + !!!DO NOT!!! ADD DICT ITEMS to access any part of the record, including I type size (eg in line 2) dict items. + If needing to store more detail about each file, eg EXIF, write it into an X coded dict item with the same key as the DATA record (naughty, but possible, and keeps everything in the same file (or at least it looks like it does!). The 'X' code is ignored by the LIST DICT. +++ eg 001 X +++002 1024x728 +++003 Canon PS280 +++...etc... +++ + If needing to store more detail to SORT each file, add it into a composite key (ideal), or worst case, have a separate tag file + + The O/S can auto load the correct external app when 'filename' is 'echo'ed from a BAT / BASH as long as filename has the correct suffix.
