Brooks Internet Software [1]supplies a new addition to its line of ExcelliPrint IPDS-to-Windows software: ExcelliPrint Standard. ExcelliPrint Standard enables management of multiple Windows printers from a central interface, eliminating the need to deal with different IPDS DIMMs on many printers. ExcelliPrint runs on a Windows-based PC and replaces any IPDS printer. It receives and processes IPDS print requests generated on System i and System z computers, which see ExcelliPrint as a high-end IPDS printer. After receiving the data over a TCP/IP network, ExcelliPrint converts and saves the data in a variety of standard formats, or more commonly, prints the documents to non-IPDS, Windows-based printers.
