RE: PDF to AFPDS using Infoprint server and AFPDS to PCL using HPT

MarkMagic does not accept PCL. MarkMagic is software that transforms your
data and format into native printer language, so I am confused about the
whole "turning it in to PCL" for MarkMagic to print.

If you have a PDF, I agree, why not just stream it to the printer?

I'd like to better understand the rationale for MarkMagic. My understanding
is that PDF, AFPDS, and PCL are all "printable formats". What is the purpose
of "printing software". Why not simply stream the given PDFs to a printer?
