RE: IPDS Cards

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

AFAIK, with a true IPDS printer (and cards?) the system will send resources 
down once and store them at the printer. But if you emulate IPDS with Host 
Print Transform, this does not happen, so it is slower. There are some 
posts about sending stuff to HP printers as macros, thus storing AFP 
resources at the printer.
