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

Use this table to see which type of destination fits your needs.

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.
