Selecting a DSS for printing from PC-based applications or a host system using IP Printway

If you do not use DPF or MVS Download to submit jobs, use Selecting a DSS for printing from PC-based applications to see which type of destination fits your needs.

If the data stream that your applications send to InfoPrint Manager is:	PostScript, PCL, or any non-IPDS data stream			PostScript, PCL (versions 4, 5, 5c and 6), or any non-IPDS data stream
and the data stream that you send to this printer is:	the same that the application sends to InfoPrint Manager			PCL4, PCL5, PCL5c, PCL6, PPDS¹, IPDS
and your jobs are going to be sent to a printer:	through a Windows 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 Selecting an attachment type for PSF actual destinations.
Create this kind of actual destination:	Passthrough²	BSD	IPP	PSF
Note: You can only print PPDS on a non-Windows system, for example, by sending the PPDS data stream to an AIX system. If you are printing PCL data to a Windows-defined printer, you might want to consider creating a PSF (other-driver or command) 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.
