...and print the docs on the network attached printer without having to 
download, un-arc, and upload. We don't have arc on this machine, and even
when we did, it hardly ever worked (Segmentation faults). I don't care about

downloading, and set up code for posting either at home (on a PC, presumably)
or on the big machine.
