Dave, Each printer we use is set up in the device file and the driver simply 'cat' s the file to the respective printer in the OS. I tried to spool something to a 'non Device file' printer and got a message 'Requested printer does not exist.'
To make it easy, you could simply write a quick program to accept the printer name, file name, record name and do an EXECUTE that does an 'lp' command. This should do the trick nicely. This is the approach that I would take. Its simple. So you would end up with something like; AIX.PRINT my.aix.pdf.capable.printer INVOICE.ARCIVE 10298478.pdf Where AIX.PRINT is your program, my.aix.pdf.capable.printer is a printer set up in aix, INVOICE.ARCHIVE is a sequential file, and 10298478.pdf is the actual record that you want to print.

All of their printers are network (TCP/IP) printers - none are serial or parallel. They have installed a UVDEFAULT printer on AIX connected to an AIX print queue. They can print to this printer from TCL but can not SPOOL a print job to it from a file (not the &HOLD& file) using the AT option. 1. Can the SPOOL command see O/S level printers/queues without having to add them to the &DEVICE& file? 2. Do they need to add these networked printers to the &DEVICE& file so that the SPOOL command will see them, and if so, what does that record need to look like? 4. Is there anything else they need to do within Universe? 4. Do they need to install these printers differently on AIX? As always, thanks for your assistance.
