I was asked this question and I have to admit I am so clueless I'm  not
even sure how to google it.

If you're talking AFP attached printers  INFO/Print has a separate(but free 
FMID) called transformer to handle this.  Then in printer setup you tell it how 
to process the input. IIRC the pc2AFP  transforms are free and the AFP2pc are 
payfor. Where pc includes  PS,PCL,PDF,SAP and maybe a couple other I can't 
remember.
 
There is and AFP list over at Topica.com but  doesn't see much action.
 
The other side of the coin is the  Printer features. From the 1140 on down 
they are multi-server  knowledgeable. And can do AFP/PS/PCL over IP
and have a serial port for direct PC  attachment. I forget the model numbers 
but one LAN admin was in tears 'cause  he couldn't get it to motor. Course the 
postage stamp size IPDS chip had been  discarded with the other packing 
material. 


_www.printers.ibm.com_ (http://www.printers.ibm.com)  was a good source  of 
knowledge. Now that Ricoh has purchased the printers division don't know  how 
things have been.
