PSF/2 Considerations

The IBM Print Services Facility/2 (PSF/2) program provides AFP to the local area network (LAN) workstation environment or stand-alone environment.

PSF/2 provides LAN printing and combinations of printer sharing among LAN users. By extending AFP to the standalone personal computer (PC) and LAN environments, PSF/2 lets you print high quality output on a PS/2 attached printer.

By supporting a wide range of data streams and printers, PSF/2 lets you print to almost any printer in your organization. You can add printers based on their capabilities rather than worrying about matching specific printers with specific applications.

PSF/2 also allows the same level of systems management, resource management, error recovery and reporting currently provided with the host PSF products. Like the host PSF products, PSF/2 provides the fonts needed for the supported printers.
