PCL 5 Printers

[Jose Lerebours]

Wouldn't the logical thing to do be use the PDF features now available 
natively (I think) to filePro?

Eventually, you will run out of OLD PRINTERS and people that have them - 
perhaps, it will be
some one else's problem down the road but why kick the can down the road !?!

We asked for PDF in filePro and then refuse to use it - or is it cost of 
upgrading the problem?

Gees, even if you buy ANZIO version that allows you to pass-through and 
print directly to PDF,
you should be able to just go that route and know that you have a 
permanent solution and no
need to worry about legacy technology (lol, even if filePro itself is a 
legacy tech ...).

All that being said, we can talk about writing PHP scripts to generate 
your reports in PDF format! ;-)
