Do I need PSF/AIX with PSM if the printers are controlled by PSM?               
Do I need PSF on the RS/6000 to print AFP documents through PSM?                
                                                                                
Q:                                                                              
PSM does not drive printers itself.   It works with either AIX backend          
programs or PSF/AIX V2.  So if you want to drive IPDS printers, or if           
you need the datastream transforms with PSF/AIX, or if you want to              
print AFPDS to PCL or PPDS printers, you will also need to install              
PSF/AIX.  So the answer to your question is yes, you will need PSF/AIX         
on the RS/6000 to print AFP documents to PSM-managed printers.
