I am a little confused. In the past, to use overlays or special fonts in
printing, we always had to use IPDS compatible printers. Lexmark
printers
have IBM PPDS compatibility built in, but they charge almost $600
additional for an IPDS/SCS card. I can't find an IPDS card for HP
printers
with the company we buy from. Does anyone know if the IPDS card is
required for Lexmark/HP printers? Does HP allow IPDS printing? I haven't
had to buy printers in several years but am trying to find a decent
quality printer that will duplex and allow IPDS printing from the i5
that
doesn't cost $1700/ea. It doesn't have to be high capacity
500-1000pp/week. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I'm not aware of *any* current laser printer that natively supports
IPDS. They all, including IBM Infoprints, require IPDS cards. We have
IPDS equipped HPs, but went to IBM Infoprints when we couldn't find a
source for the HP cards.
Our future direction is to avoid the printer issue completely and so
we've installed IPDSXpress. This product allows us to create print
queues on a win2k3 machine, which appear as normal *IPDS capable *LAN
printers to the iSeries, and which output to *any* PCL 5/6 capable
printer that win server can reach. Dirt simple to install, and works
beautifully. I'm not a vendor, yada yada yada.
