Print Services Facility/6000 Function
The PSF/6000 licensed program provides an intelligent print driver that accepts
input
data stream files, including Advanced Function Printing data stream (AFPDS)
and ASCII. The program also produces different
output
data streams like Intelligent
Printer Data Stream (IPDS), IBM personal printer data stream (PPDS), or
Hewlett-Packard printer control language (PCL).
The PSF/6000 function allows you to perform the following tasks:
v Integrate workstation and host printing under a common architecture.
v Enable LAN print serving capability supporting multiple workstations, operating
systems, data streams, and print types.
v Improve systems management of printing by using Network File System (NFS).
Configuring PSF/6000 Function
This scenario configures for PPDS. To configure for other scenarios, refer to the
IBM AIX PSF/6000: Print Services for Users of AIX
, G544-3814-01.
To use the PSF/6000 function, configure a PPDS printer (or an IPDS printer or a
PCL printer). Specify the following:
smit psfcfg
Add a Printer or PSF/6000 Queue
AIX-Defined (Parallel, Serial, or LAN)
The system prompts you to choose a data stream type (PPDS, PCL4, PCL5, or
PCL5C).
Following this, specify the information as shown in Figure 223.
