Charles:

I appreciate the added info. I recall printing to IPDS printers back 
OS/400 V3 or earlier (hard to be certain exactly) where two-way 
communication worked. But somewhere back there, the PSF/400 product 
started showing up, IIRC.

Perhaps that 'intelligence' was removed in a kind of lobotomy? 
Removed from the base system and moved into the LPP.

I haven't worked with IPDS printers since then. Maybe it's all just 
lost in the fog of memory. I tend to forget stuff that I don't use 
after a decade (or two).
