Sam,
Where I work, we are fine without IPDS,
which seems to be just one of several
possible print "language" solutions,
and which appears to be fading.
Looks like Ricoh still makes some
but only for AIX and Windows?

Subject: InfoPrint IPDS Alternatives
We have a lot of InfoPrint IPDS laser printers of various models, large and small. We have smaller models in the warehouse and in the manufacturing building. We have some bigger ones as departmental printer, shared with Windows printing. All are TCP/IP attached; no twinax.
They have been very reliable workhorses but some are now over 10 years old and we are thinking about replacements.
Hardware is not my expertise and I have inherited the responsibility, so I could use a little help...
- Are there any IPDS printers that are replacements for InfoPrints [IBM/Lexmark doesn't seem to make them any more as far as I can tell from Google.]
- Why do I need IPDS and what does it buy me?
[We print a few overlay forms (e.g., Invoices, though most are EDI these
days) and we print some barcodes on internal picking documents. Most of our barcoded labels are done on Zebras driven by TL Ashford software thru remote OUTQs.]
Any input appreciated.
Thanks,
Sam
