Printing from UNIX operating systems

Use the advanced server property, RSVP.PRINT.POSTSCRIPT, to control which interface you want to use to print a PDF from a UNIX operating system.

RSVP.PRINT.POSTSCRIPT

The default setting for this property is true, and only applies to UNIX operating systems. Keeping the default setting, true, provides users with the ability to print PDFs using the internal postscript interface from a UNIX operating system.

If you want to continue to use the (unsupported) Adobe Acrobat PDF interface, then you can set the default to false. Before you do this, ensure that you have downloaded the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader for your operating system.

You can change the value for RSVP.PRINT.POSTSCRIPT to false by editing advanced settings for the Batch Report service on the System page in IBM Cognos Administration.
