Subject: Re: Forms printing

I usually use the AFP 300 printer driver.

I generate the forms using an overlay, and HPT to a laser printer.
Need to specify *AFPDS for the printer file, but just a regular laser
printer.

The redbook, http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg242160.pdf is easy enough to read.  But, I have a couple of questions:

1) I have an existing blank form.  I am assuming that the form would need to be scanned and then printed to a file using the AFP printer.  Which one would I use?

2) Is an IPDS printer required, or would an AFPDS printer file work when directed to a laser printer.  The form has boxes and text with different fonts.


Currently, forms are being generated by a forms chip inside a Lexmark printer.  Would really be nice to not be tied to a specific printer model, which is no longer manufactured.
