re: AFPDS vs IPDS...

As far as I remember, AFPDS will do everything that IPDS does,
without any special adapter boxes, etc.

When it comes to overlays, AFPDS will print your graphical overlay
just fine.  The AS/400 will build a bit map and send it, page by
page, to your AFPDS printer, whether locally attached or remotely on
your network.

IPDS, on the other hand, lets the AS/400 separate the graphical
overlay from the variable text-- and only send the graphics once.
This greatly improves the efficiency of your printing.
