Yes, Netware servers *can* support lpd. Whether a particular server *does* is a political issue. For me, the result of that particular political issue is a half hour walk (15 minutes each direction) in whatever the weather in southern Indiana to pickup a printout, as opposed to a 5 minute walk downstairs. Yes, I would be quite pleased be able to talk directly to a netware server that doesn't speak lpd. -john == jfieber@indiana.edu =========================================== == http://fieber-john.campusview.indiana.edu/~jfieber ============
