Hello,

I have a customer that is looking at replacing an HP 4100dn printer with an HP 4650dtn in order to add color printing for both PCs and the iSeries. They are currently using HPT with the 4100 to print lines, boxes, bar codes, logos and various font sizes via *AFPDS. The iSeries is at V5R2, soon to be V5R3. The speed of their iSeries and network makes this work quite well without PSF.

What I am trying to confirm is that HPT will be able to do the lines, boxes and fonts in color or will an IPDS SIMM and PSF be required? The InfoCenter at best is unclear on this area. It would be nice if IBM produced a grid listing all printer DDS keywords (and each option to them) with columns for SCS, HPT, IPDS, and PSF and check marks for required or "works with". I think I read somewhere that the logos (page segments) can not use color even with IPDS and PSF due to the iSeries stored image format.

If an IPDS is required what is the list's recommendations as the best for the money?

Thanks.

Roger Vicker, CCP
