List,
At our site we scan the PrintQueue directory for new files (all reports
do not print immediately unless altered by user at submission). All
reports that need to be printed are listed in an .cfg file. The PDF is
analyzed and based on the User (location) we print it to a defined
printer. Based on the printer (logical or physical) we can add
backgrounds like COPY, Confidential....or multiple copies. Sort of basic
output printer management. It runs on Unix and works like a charm.
Quite a lot of configuration files and cron jobs though.
I just implemented a quasi-solution for this.
I created 2 tasks and added them to the task list (or menu for you
oexplore.exe users). They are windows tasks that call Windows command
line
scripts.
Within the .cmd scripts I call a NT resource utility called munge.exe.
This
utility will do a find/replace in text files.
My task "Print Immediate ON" calls PrintOn.cmd which sets
the PrintImmediate line in the JDE.INI to TRUE
The task "Print Immediate OFF" calls PrintOff.cmd which flips the
value back to PrintImmediate=FALSE
This allow users to turn it on when the need it (e.g. when they are
printing
several work orders) and turn it off when they don't want their batch
jobs to
go directly to the printer. The requirement for this solution is that
you
have the Default Printers table populated correctly for specific
Users/Groups/UBEs/Versions as necessary.
We use roaming profiles with Citrix so the JDE.INI file is read from
the
roaming \windows location rather than c:\winnt or c:\documents and
settings\<user name>\windows when a batch job is submitted to the
server, so
this is the only JDE.INI file I update.

complex solutions, or kiiled great ideas on our site.As a report
designer, I
would like to be able to override the jde.ini "Print Immediate" at the
report
version level. This would greatly improve the functionality for
me.Sorry I
can't provide a solution, but I think JDE should.
