Hello John,

You DO NOT need an IPDS printer. If you set up a device for Host Print Transform you can print directly to pretty much any laser with AFPDS.

If you decide to explore an easier way to do electronic forms, feel free to visit our web site and check out our iForms product.

Regards,

subject: Forms printing

The redbook, http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg242160.pdf is easy enough to read. But, I have a couple of questions:

1) I have an existing blank form. I am assuming that the form would need to be scanned and then printed to a file using the AFP printer. Which one would I use?

2) Is an IPDS printer required, or would an AFPDS printer file work when directed to a laser printer. The form has boxes and text with different fonts.


Currently, forms are being generated by a forms chip inside a Lexmark printer. Would really be nice to not be tied to a specific printer model, which is no longer manufactured.
