IPDS spool file? or AFPDS spool file?

Everything that I've ever seen works with AFPDS spool files, but not IPDS
ones.

However, as IPDS is basically a subset of AFPDS, it's a usually simple
matter of changing the printer file from DEVTYPE(*IPDS) to DEVTYPE(*AFPDS).

Before we spend a bunch more on hardware, is there software that will take
an
IPDS spool file and turn it into something that can print to an HP
printer, just using
CL?

I would be willing to entertain IPDS-->PDF-->E-mail-->User as well.

Thanks
