Your IPDS printer emulates the IBM 4234 twinax models 008 and 012.
IPDS Twinax printers can only print IPDS data streams and nothing else.
Even a simple job, such as a screen print, is IPDS data in a twinax
attachment. Because the printer definition on a twinax host is either set
automatically (by auto configuration) or manually, the printer type is already
known.
NOTE: A general discussion about starting and stopping IPDS can be found
in the IBM 4234 Product and Programming Reference Manual
(GC31-3879). Sending a non-IPDS data stream to an IPDS printer
and vise versa will result in a hung spool file or writer.
