Printing on Linux
Actuate sends output to any Windows printer and to PostScript Level 1 or 2 printers. If the PostScript font is not installed on the system, the PostScript file, generated at print time, contains only the references to the missing font name.
You must install required PostScript fonts on either the printer or iHub; otherwise, the printer substitutes a font or printing fails. If you install the PostScript font on iHub, font information embeds in the PostScript file, and the document prints with the correct font.
iHub uses Adobe Type-1 font technology and a font configuration file for printing. The configuration file is in the following directory:
AC_SERVER_HOME/operation/print/fonts/fonts.supported
Throughout this documentation, AC_SERVER_HOME refers to the folder that the installer chose as the location for binary files during the iHub installation. By default, this location is AC_SERVER_HOME/AcServer in a Linux environment. To print documents, check that XVFBDISPLAY variables, start_srvr.sh and display_value, are set in pmd11.sh.
