<div dir="ltr">Hi Jose,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I already have a script that will convert anything I print
to a PDF however I am not using any print drivers, just raw
print jobs. Can I push that PDF output to the printer from
linux with no print driver?</div>

<div>Upgrading to the latest fielPro version is too costly for
most of my clients. They are all on old 5.0 versions that
they have been running on for over 10 years. Most of these
have been on filepro since the late 80s, early 90s. I am
mainly an applications developer and do not have the skill set
to develop anything in PHP or other coding languages. </div>

<div>Any suggestions would be appreciated.</div>

the logical thing to do be use the PDF features now available

natively (I think) to filePro?<br>
<br>
Eventually, you will run out of OLD PRINTERS and people that
have them - <br>
perhaps, it will be<br>
some one else's problem down the road but why kick the can
down the road !?!<br>
<br>
We asked for PDF in filePro and then refuse to use it - or is
it cost of <br>
upgrading the problem?<br>
<br>
Gees, even if you buy ANZIO version that allows you to
pass-through and <br>
print directly to PDF,<br>
you should be able to just go that route and know that you
have a <br>
permanent solution and no<br>
need to worry about legacy technology (lol, even if filePro
itself is a <br>
legacy tech ...).<br>
<br>
All that being said, we can talk about writing PHP scripts to
generate <br>
your reports in PDF format! ;-)<br>
