What is better: file>print to distiller or file>print to ps file>into distiller?
I noticed that some files WILL convert to pdf by printing to PS-file first, and some ony when you print to distiller 'directly' Is there any difference in the 'quality'of the resulting pdf? Reason I'm asking is because my boss wants to set up a dedicated distiller-server, that we will send ps-files to, to be distilled. But from my experience, i get less failure if I print 'directly' to distiller from the application I'm using. Any comments on this welcome!

We've never had a problem either way, but we're a very small design outfit where 95% of the work is created and produced inhouse from just three apps: Quirk, Photoshop and Illustrator. Writing to PDF directly from Quirk rather than writing fat PS first produces identical results. The only advantage writing PS has for us is that...

unix command to print a pdf file
What is the solaris command to print a pdf file? lp -d <printer> lecture01.pdf does not work. Roughly 12/16/03 12:30, TingChong's monkeys randomly typed: > What is the solaris command to print a pdf file? > > lp -d <printer> lecture01.pdf > does not work.

There isn't any way to do this by default (as far as I know), but if you have ghostscript installed, you can do this: ps2pdf lecture01.pdf | lp -d <printer> Likewise, if you have xpdf installed, you can do this: pstopdf lecture01.pdf | lp -d <printer> If one doesn't give good results, try the other. :-) - Logan Logan Shaw wrote: > TingChong wrote: > >> What is the solaris command to print a pdf file? >> >> lp -d <printer> lecture01.pdf >> does not work. > > > There isn't any way to do this by default (as far as I know), but > if you have ghostscript installed, you can do this: > > ps2pdf lecture01.pdf | lp -d <printer> > > Likewise, if you have xpdf installed, you can do this: > > pstopdf lecture01.pdf | lp -d <printer> > > If one doesn't give good results, try the other. :-) > > - Logan > Huh?

You have to copy this file to a temporary directory (if FTP copy, use binary format), run "inutoc ." and then execute "smitty install_latest". If it's a RPM package, it must be for AIX.

Printing from SCO Unix to an NT print Queue
Hello, We have an application running on SCO Unix. We are trying to print reports from this program to a print queue on a server running Windows Server 2003. We are able to print to the desired printer, but the formatting is incorrect. We need the output to be set at 17 Characters Per Inch (CPI) but it is printing at 10 CPI. I have tried to change the settings on the Unix box (/etc/lp/interfaces/* and /etc/lp/printers/*) but these changes don't seem to make any difference. I'm guessing that when the print job is sent, the Unix system isn't processing these config files and simply passes the print request to our windows server. Due to limitations in the windows drivers, we are not able to set CPI and such on the windows server. Another option would be to set up the Unix queue to print directly to IP, but the jobs hang in the Unix print queue when I try to do this. Does anyone know if it is possible to have the Unix system format the print job before sending it to the windows print queue or know how to successfully set up an IP printer? Thanks!

lp -c to print temporary print files
I've had the most bizarre experience with the lp command on AIX 6.1. We have an application which prints files by writing to a temporary directory, calling lp -c <filename>, then remove the file. To date, I've always understood the -c flag to mean copy the file before printing, which sounds good since there might be a race condition where the print subsystem attempts to read from the original file to do the printing. So this script fragment should work: lp -c /tmp/filename.txt.$$;rm -f /tmp/filename.txt.$$ However we've been getting error write messages from the printer daemon to say the file's not there, giving me my usual puzzled facial expression since that was the whole point of the "-c" flag, wasn't it? As it turns out, whether you use -c or not, the lp command does not read the file itself, but (probably) checks the file exists, then sends the filename to the print subsystem and then quits. The functional difference is that with "-c", the job would be printed from somewhere in /var/spool, while without "-c", the job would be printed from the original targeted file. However practically it has very little difference; in either case the lp command quits, allowing the script to run the rm command immediatly, opening up the race condition that the file gets deleted before the queue subsystem gets to print the file. Printing from standard input would have to spool the file first and then quit, so that seems safe....

Printing to a Print Wizard file via Accuterm
Not really a MV issue, but I'm sure someone here has encountered this already and can save me from slamming my head on the wall. I'm also sending it over to the QM list, just in case. I have Accuterm. I have Print Wizard. I have configured the print adapters so I see "PrintWizard PCL converter" and "PrintWizard user interface" as a pull-down menu in the Accuterm printer setup for my session. But I am getting tripped up when I print. I wind up with .tmp files under a temp folder. I want to put the output in the folder of my choice on the first job via the "PW user interface", then have it go there without me having to tell it by setting it back to the "PCL converter". Ideally I'd save these to a file as a .pdf document because I've got about 1000 or so of these to create for a deposition next week. When a real printer is on the target port and I'm not printing "to a file" I get the hardcopy output I want. So my issues are: (1) how do I get this so I can print "fire and forget" so I can whip through these this afternoon? and... (2) What step/process am I missing so that PW will automatically create PDF when it writes to a file? and.. (3) If PW won't do want I want, what will that works with Acuuterm? When I change the .tmp files to .txt I see that the correct output is all there. If push comes to shove I can live with that, but the legal beagles for both sides ha...
