I'm a developer and I'm trying to understand how I can print a PDF file directly to Canon ImageRunner advance 5035 using code without having to load up any PDF Reader software. I've tried using LPR commands but that results in an error message on the Printer's display panel as follows: "PDL Img Invalid Data"
Any ideas how we can do this? Do the Canon ImageRunner Advance models support PDF printing directly? Do you have to use a specific driver and do you set the printer driver settings to LPR or RAW?
Note that we are doing Booklet Mode with Folding + Saddle Stitch so whatever method we use needs to support that. Currently we have a printer object configured with these settings as our defaults. It does work but the Adobe Reader UI has to load each time to send the PDF to the printer and that ends up causing some glitches that we haven't been able to resolve. Plus, it makes the computer unusable, it takes extra time for Adobe Reader to load each file and render it, and then it's marginally outside of Adobe's Terms of Service for their Reader product (not being used on a server or headless machine). So we would really like to print directly but have been unable to find anything that works.
