FSS is Functional SubSystem (which is so much nicer than the NSS - Nonfunctional SubSystem delivered by some vendors - and yes I know that NSS is z/VM's Named Saved Segment). It refers to printers which are usually AFP printers. They are driven in an address space (STC) separate from the JES address space.
