I've _never_ been clear on this issue.
If nothing else, an element of IPDS that I haven't seen outside of
IPDS is the ability of the printers to inform the system of printing
status. Spooled files could be sent to 'intelligent' printers to be
printed when the printer has completed previous print jobs; the
files might be 'queued' inside the printer. The notification that
printing completed wouldn't appear for the user until that spooled
file physically finished printing.
I've often felt that the 'intelligent' communication between printer
and system was a kind of defining characteristic of IPDS regardless
of AFPDS content.
But there seems to be so little clear info on both terms...
