Configuring a *LAN IPDS Device Description
This document contains information on configuring *LAN IPDS device descriptions for LAN attached IPDS
printers. Support for *LAN IPDS device descriptions is available in the base code for R410 OS/400 and
above, as well as R370 OS/400 (which is no longer supported).
Note: Print Services Facility/400 (PSF/400) must be installed and licensed in order to print to LAN
attached IPDS printers.
24475739, Recommended IBM IPDS Port Number Values for *LAN IPDS Device
Descriptions
This document contains a list of recommended IBM ® IPDS ™ Port Number Values for *LAN IPDS printer
device descriptions, depending on the type of network interface or print server being used with your
printer. The Port number (PORT) parameter specifies which TCP/IP port to use when printing operating
system spooled files from an IBM System i system through a *LAN IPDS device description to a printer on
a Local Area Network (LAN) or Wide Area Network (WAN). Therefore, the specified TCP/IP port must be
open on any firewalls, routers, or SOCK servers used between the System i system and the printer. If the
specified TCP/IP port is closed, the printer writer for the *LAN IPDS device description will not be able to
open a connection with the printer and will, therefore, not be able to print to that printer.

This publication provides AFP and PSF information for AIX users interested in installing and using PSF for
AIX for printing in the AIX environment. Topics include: an overview of PSF; how PSF for AIX fits in with
the existing AIX print processes; benefits of PSF for AIX; hardware and software prerequisites; migration
considerations, and administration and usage considerations.
