The printer driver works like a virtual printer, that allows you to create documents and other forms in windows applications and through activating the print driver creates an AFP file or Overlay. The driver is fairly limited in its ability to manage resources, color and adding indexes to the documents produced, but it is definately a useful tool for a quick fix for creating static AFP pages.

afp mailing list by michael botos
Website:
http://www.topica.com/lists/afp-l
A quite interesting unmoderated AFP Users List. Members of the users list send questions, to the group which are answered by other users, that might have had similar experience in the field. The list is also used by a number of vendors
to bring in their marketing hype, but in most cases the information is quite useful.
