Walter, We have done a similar exercise, our channel attached Xerox printers had a lot of forms, overlays etc. in uniquely Xerox format. We replaced them with Xerox IP printers and to handle the formats we installed XPAF from Xerox. Xerox did the data conversions for us. We also run CA-Spool to replace Printway, early releases of which we found to be a dreadful product - broken by design (search the IBM-MAIN archives). I guess we could replace CA-Spool by XPAF, but not vice-versa. Contact your Xerox representative. Neither I nor AGCO have any commercial interest in Xerox that I know of.
