Does RPM handle AFPDS files, no but ExcelliPrint IPDS AFPDS does

Question:

Does RPM Remote Print Manager™ support printing AFPDS files generated from an AS/400 or System 390?

Answer:

The AS/400 will convert AFPDS data streams via Host Print Transform for AS/400 printer emulations. An RPM raw type queue will pass the converted data directly to the printer bypassing the Windows print driver.

ExcelliPrint does handle AFPDS files, please visit ExcelliPrint's IPDS Printing home page. ExcelliPrint gives you the power to print IPDS to ANY Windows-based printer, IPDS or Non-IPDS.

System 390 supports the AFPDS conversion via the Infoprint system. RPM can then pass the converted data directly to the Windows printer through an RPM raw type queue.
