Printing pdf files from a HP-UX server

[Gerard Moroney]

Hi,

I need to set up a number of print queues in order to print pdf and text files created on a HP-UX server running HP-UX11.00. I have hppi on the server and have tried setting up a postscript print queue but witout any success. Can anyone give me hints, pointers or referecnes where I might find out about setting up queues on HP-UX for printing pdf files on network printers ? Fortuately, all of the printers are HP's !

Cheers,

Gerard

hi,

If you want to print pdf files to a HP laser printer->
set the printerqueue using jetadmin and select the appropriate model (it lists
all hp models. if in doubt use the laserjet4). That''s it. Now, you can use applications like adobe to
print out pdf files to the printer queue.

PDF files cannot be printed without a PDF interpreter. Unlike Postscript, PCL and plain ASCII, PDF is not a printer language, so a reader program such as Adobe Acrobat Reader must be used to read and interpret these files. Then they can be printed using the Acrobat Reader program.

Hi,

PDF file can be printed by adobe's acrobat reader. No need to have additional settings if you have your printer configured. Open the file in acrobat reader and use print option

Goodluck,

Hi
Use the acrobat reader to read and print the PDF files on printers defined.
You can get acrobat reader for HP at following link.
