(with remote lpd) lpr -Pprinter@machine%port And I use this over ssh port-forwarding (to getthrough firewalls) to print to a remote printer. ssh work-box -L10515:printer-box:515 lpr -Pprinter@localhost%10515 So assuming the Regional guys are connecting from a unix/linux box with lpd - this could easiy be setup. Perhpas not exactly the same thing as lprint (described above).. Satish
