Doug,<br>
<br>
Although someone might have a solution that wouldn't involve any <br>
conversion, if you don't mind the conversion merry-go-round, here's an <br>
idea or two for you.<br>
<br>
I think the gs command is a part of Ghostscript. This command has been <br>
in place a couple of years and seems to work in our environment. It <br>
emails in batch the invoice pdf files (using pcl2pdf) which filepro <br>
creates. The only problem in your case is that it prints pdf documents <br>
instead of html documents. It converts the pdf ( I suspect it would <br>
convert many other formats as well) to a pcl file that then sends it to <br>
the laserjet.<br>
<br>
I know it seems like a lot of work considering you could have filepro <br>
print it's output to a pcl file, but these files have been already <br>
converted to a pdf document that contain images(logos graphics etc.)<br>
<br>
I think htmldoc might work to convert an htlm file to a pdf. <br>
<br>
This creates the PCL file<br>
/bin/gs -sDEVICE=ljet4 -q -dNOPAUSE -dSAFER -sOutputFile=1190-inv.pcl <br>
1190-inv.pdf -c quit<br>
<br>
This prints it<br>
cat 1190-inv.pcl | netcat -d -hhslaser -p9100<br>
<br>
Hope this helps<br>
<br>

The document is html to start. Filepro isn't actually creating the documents, just printing them based<br>
On the serial # tracking system I am working on.<br>
<br>
We do use ghostscript for printing to PDF. Works great.<br>
