AFPDS printer driver woes

[Rich Duzenbury <rduz-midrange@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Is anyone having problems with overlays created via the IBM AFP printer
driver?

I've discovered that using word I cannot get 'wordart' lines, ovals,
clipart and such to print in an AS/400 overlay when printing directly
from word to the AFP driver.  They simply do not appear.  

If I print the document from within word on my workstation to the
printer, all of the 'artwork' appears just fine. 

If I print the document to a generic-postscript printer driver on file:,
and then open and print from 'gsview' to the AFP driver, and create the
overlay from that, the artwork appears just fine.

I've also had similar problems printing directly from PageMaker.

I believe I have the latest version of the driver downloaded from the
IBM web site.  

I've tested both the Win98 and WinXP versions of the driver, both appear
to have the same issue.

The target output device is an HP4050TN.  On the AS/400, I'm using a
remote output queue with host print transform to an *HP4 as there
doesn't seem to be an *HP4050 in the list.

Suggestions welcome.  Thanks.
