RE: IPDS Printing

Joan,

We do use *IPDS printers but not for that reason. We use them
because of the performance hit that APFDS host print transform
has on our overworked, (relatively) underpowered system.

If you just want IPDS printing on just about any HP, change either
the printer file: CHGPRTF FILE(AMALIB/XXXXX)DEVTYPE(*AFPDS)
or change the override in MAPICS to be *AFPDS. I think the *IPDS
on the current files is just a hangover from prior versions
of MAPICS and should be changed globally. Overlays can be
attached though the printer overrides as well. No source
changes needed at all.

For those really into customization you can also create
workstation customizing objects and attach them to the
printer. These can control paper trays, form sizes, etc.

Regards

Konrad
