Inthe first instance I will just be setting all the clients machines to send to the print server, so I guess that will be fairly simple, until I come to upgrading the print server. I'll hve a bash at this and if it goes fairly easy then I'll move to cups. My first thought that it would be a lot easier to install LPRng but, to be honest, I'd much rather go with the core2 default. Cheers, Ross -- Ross Macintyre (raz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx)
