Ilham - One of the conclusions of the overview paper on The Athena
Palladium Print System is that, "The incorporation of centralized
management into the system will allow for easier and more effective
management of the print services ...."

"Centralized" things are worrisome, particularly in a distributed
environment.  Do the centralized management procedures run in a single
machine; are they essential to the AP Print System; what recovery
actions do you have planned when a failure occurs?  Regards - Craig
