That is exactly what I was looking for too! And I thought maybe PS-Print could do the trick: let one (dedicated) PC be attached to all servers and serve queues on all those servers, redirecting printer jobs to one printer connected to that PC. But it seems this doesn't work, since you can load only one 'printer driver' per physical port (p.e. LPT1). If you try to load a second one, the first one is replaced. Does anybody know if other products like Printer Assist have the functionality we are looking for? I think Netware should handle this kind of thing. -- Ton Roovers systems manager _______________________________________________________________________________ Faculty of Arts and Letters, Groningen University ton@gufalet.UUCP PO Box 716, NL 9700 AS Groningen, The Netherlands
