PSF is not required to have a printer configured as IPDS.  Granted, the
capabilities are limited without it, but you can do barcodes (which is what
we use it for), fonts, and probably a few other things.

I already have S544-5312-05.  Using that is how I was able to figure out
what SCS command I need to send to the printer to use tumble duplex, it's
just a matter of figuring out how to get it there.  A data transform program
should be able to do it, but I couldn't get it to work, and the
documentation on it is poor even for IBM. :(
