Now that Wade has a general idea of what a printing server, he can STFW with better chance of success. ;-) Thanks for your more friendly answer.

Certainly there is a wealth of information out there on the web but it seems that quite often what happes is that you get thousands of links that may or may not have anything to do with what you want to know. Whats wrong with wanting to find some who already knows that information. For me, that is survival in my job. I have to keep a mental list of human links to information Damon Register
