Same print function as to any other printer -- it's just another printer to
Windows, same as the way you do it but there's no intermediate .ps file.

With the pdf995 local printer when you print a file save type requestor
comes up asking the name and where you want to save it and the AS/400 puts
the pdf file in a directory of jobname\user\file.pdf.

Really it sounds like there isn't much difference in the way you do things
to the user and only a structural difference in the background.
