Chapter 2. Selecting a type of actual destination Once you have decided how many logical destinations, queues, and actual destinations you want to use and how to configure them, you need to determine which kind of actual destinations to create. In InfoPrint Manager for Windows, there are four basic types of actual destinations: PSF printers, Passthrough printers, BSD printers, and IPP printers. The names of the destination types refer to the destination support systems (DSSs) that process the print data and send it to the printer. Consult these tables to help you determine what kind of destinations to create based on where your print jobs are coming from: v PC-based applications or a host system using IP Printway v Both PC-based applications and host systems (using MVS™ Download) PC-based applications or a host system using IP Printway Use this table to see which type of destination fits your needs. Table 1. PC-based applications or a host system using IP Printway If the data PostScript, PCL or any non-IPDS data stream stream that your applications send to InfoPrint Manager is: and the data stream that you send to this printer is: the same that the application sends to InfoPrint Manager PCL, PPDS1, IPDS™ and your jobs through a are going to be Windows sent to a printer: defined port using a command such as lpr that is IPP enabled that is attached to your InfoPrint Manager system in any of the ways listed in the PSF Attachment Types table Create this kind Passthrough2 BSD IPP PSF of actual destination: Note: 1. You can only print PPDS on a non-Windows system, for example, by sending the PPDS data stream to an AIX system. 2. If you are printing PCL data to an Windows-defined printer, and have therefore chosen to create a Passthrough destination, you might want to consider creating a "PSF attachment types" on page 7 destination instead. A Passthrough destination uses fewer processing resources, but a PSF destination provides much more functions, such as accounting and automatic data stream transforms. 5
