The previous post may be all you need, but a note that many use AFPDS printer files printing on lasers that have no IPDS card.
Yes, this is — as you've marked clearly — enabled through transform(*yes). What I have tested is that HPT limits the available fonts to Courier and something else monospaced. At least bold print is also available. Sending IPDS data to a "real" IPDS printer yields much more available font choices.
(I've grabbed an old S-P-E EBox IPDS adapter quite a while ago. An external box, connected to network and printer. IPDS jobs over TCP come in, and a connected printer — via parallel port — gets the translated data.)
Sadly, AFPDS/IPDS is too much of a niche for people to create yet another GhostScript incarnation for converting AFPDS/IPDS data to everything else the base code of GhostScript supports.
:wq! PoC
