​Note that ​​DEVCLS(*LAN) TYPE(*IPDS) requires both
1) the chargeable PSF for IBM i license program (5770ss1 option 36,37,or 38)
2) An IPDS capable printer. Normally from IBM/Ricoh/Lexmark. HP doesn't
offer IPDS but some 3rd parties offer IPDS chips for HPs.

WSCST aren't used for IPDS printers.

For ASCII printers, Buck's pointing out the right path.

Create a WSCST, looking up the escape code needed for your printer, and add
a :DWRSLT parm if not there.

Then you can simply specify DRAWER(3) on the printer file or via OVRPRTF.
