We replaced VPS with NPF, the "free" component of CommServer (not AOP). We did
not have DRS, but we do print from CICS using virtual printers defined to
SuperSession. It was a hundred-some-odd printers, and there wasn't much to it.

Subject: IBM IP Printway, NetSpool, from LRS's VPS/DRS?
[External Email. Exercise caution when clicking links or opening attachments.]
Again, with our downsizing, and nearing EOL of my systems, I need to drop
VPS and DRS.
I am looking at the base IBM support in this area, The AOP. stuff.
Has anyone else done this? A Redbook by chance?
And, yes, I know about McKinney and in some ways wish we'd gone there a
couple decades ago. The guy who supported this area at that time couldn't get
the batch AFP to PCL working to our needs. So, we didn't.
LRS has been silent, when asked about any short term renewal.
