No. The printer itself must support IPDS (Intelligent Printer Data Stream) for PSF to print to it.
The input to PSF can be fully composed AFP, or plain line data (formatted into AFP using a FORMDEF and PAGEDEF) or a mixture of line data and AFP x'5A' records, but the printer must support IPDS for PSF. Now, it doesn't necessarily have to be an IBM or Infoprint Solutions printer. Other vendor printers also have IPDS support, and some printers accept optional IPDS cards to add IPDS support. --Roger On Thu, May 5, 2011 at 8:12 AM, Roberto Halais <roberto.hal...@gmail.com>wrote: > Listers: > > We have an IBM 6262 mod D22 impact printer that was converted from bus/tag > to coax.
