'''Intelligent Printer Data Stream''' (IPDS) is InfoPrint Solution Company's [[IBM Systems Application Architecture|Systems Application Architecture]] host-to-printer data stream for [[Advanced Function Presentation]] subsystems.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/980540512|title=Guide to the electronic document body of knowledge.|date=2014|publisher=MC2 Books|isbn=978-1-893347-05-2|pages=203|oclc=980540512}}</ref> It provides an attachment-independent interface for controlling and managing [[all points addressable]] (APA) printers that allows the presentation of pages containing an architecturally unlimited mixture of different data types, including text, image, graphics, bar code and object container. It is used by a variety of InfoPrint and [[OEM]] [[print server]]s that drive all points addressable (APA) page printers. Generally these printers are at the medium to high end of the print speed and volume spectrum.
"One of the strengths of IPDS is that independent applications can create source data for each data block. The output of these independent applications is merged at the printer to create an integrated mixed data page."<ref>{{cite web |last1=IBM Corporation |title=Intelligent Printer Data Stream |url=https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ssw_ibm_i_73/rzalu/rzaluidps.htm |website=IBM Knowledge Center |access-date=May 30, 2020}}</ref>

Similar to [[Personal Printer Data Stream|PPDS]], IPDS uses binary encoded commands and parameters, but IPDS is not compatible with PPDS.
"IPDS is the 'online' way being used to print AFP ([[Advanced Function Presentation]]) documents. They can also be printed using the AFPDS format 'offline'."<ref>{{cite web |title=IPDS : Intelligent Printer Data Stream |url=https://www.mpitech.com/ipds-intelligent-printer-data-stream |website=MPI Tech |date=28 July 2016 |access-date=May 30, 2020}}</ref>
