This question is in regards to PSF/AIX and OEM printers. We have been
trying to get into an account for about 2 years now, and have maybe
found a way to get in. They have a large Xerox printer 4890 color, and
one of the DP managers saw PSF/AIX demoed at some show. We think that
the Xerox printer will attach to an RS/6000 via the S/370 Emulator/A
adapter, however will PSF/AIX support this?
A:
PSF/AIX only supports IPDS, PCL (4, 5, 5C) and PPDS as output data
streams. PSF/AIX does not support the proprietary Xerox data streams,
either as input or as output data streams. Nor am I aware of a device
driver for the Xerox printer off a S/370 Channel Emulator/A adapter.
I'm sorry, but PSF/AIX will not provide the function you seek.
