No, you can use HP by specifying Host Print Transform. You may need to have an *AFPDS device type. I just tried one on a Brother multi-function (HP-compatible) through a Client Access printer session.

What you don't get is performance - IPDS sends a lot of control data down once - with HPT and non-IPDS it has go down for each page - something like that.

You might want to look at the AFP printing sampler at <http://www.printers.ibm.com/R5PSC.NSF/Web/4sample>

Hi,

If I want to print a barcode, am I limited to only using an IPDS printer?

Also, can I print a barcode on a HP printer, or am I limited to using IBM?

Thanks,
Dave
