No, it is never necessary to recompile print resources (barring some unusual bug). PSF and IPDS printers are designed to be backward compatible with PAGEDEFs, FORMDEFs, page segments and overlay, and fonts with the exception of old 3800 fonts. Function of existing PAGE/FORMDEFs won't change with new releases of PSF, although different printer hardware may behave differently (eg., simplex printers can't print duplex or a job that gets paper from bin 3 can't pull paper from that bin if the printer doesn't have a bin 3). In these cases the hardware takes some reasonable action or issue a message.
You will, however, need to recompile any PSF exits you may use for each new PSF release.
