Tom,

Adobe markets a version of PostScript in software which runs on the
370 series computers.  I believe that the 3820 is one of the printers
supported.  (In general, I think that 370 PostScript supports most of the
IBM AFP printers.)  Try contacting your IBM sales rep. for more details.

Hope this helps.
