I have lots of PC's here that print to a single netowrk printer. They tend to print lots of pages that contain one or two lines and the only reason that they are printing them in the first place is for paper record (Yes they are still in the stoneage ;-) What I would like to do is simple yet it doesn't work.. I want to configure that network printer with a filter ( somthing like a2ps that puts two pages on one ) and allow them to print to my machine using samba or lpd and then I convert and set it to the printer.. I have not found any unique way to do this .. any idears? -branson -- ======================================================================== branson matheson | branson@widomaker.com Ferguson SysAdmin | http://widomaker.com/~branson
