IBM signed an agreement to sell their Printing Systems Division to Ricoh in 2007. The joint venture is called InfoPrint Solutions Company. IP was also sold.
Line 1:
'''Intelligent Printer Data Stream''' (IPDS) is IBM’sInfoPrint Solution Company's Systems Application Architecture host-to-printer data stream for [[Advanced Function Presentation]] subsystems. 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 IBMInfoPrint and OEM print servers 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.
 
The IPDS architecture allows for both spooled data and print job management to flow bidirectionally between the print server (or print driver) and the Printer Controller.
