Printing from a IMS Transaction

System: HACPEE
Actor: User needing new feature

Hi, we are installing HACPEE to replace the tn3270 software and use HACPEE for more than 24000 users.
Nowaday, is working fine, but we found that HACPEE havent got any communication with LU3 printers that are in HoD's configuration when you send a print instruction.

Description: We need to able the printing from a IMS transaction when the user sends the instruction from IMS.
We think that the best option for us is:
0-> From HACPEE
1-> Execute the IMS Transaction from mainframe and send the printing job.
2-> HACPEE or HoD recieves the printing job.
3-> Store in the HACPEE linux server the PDF or txt file
