Interesting idea adding a printer via IP address. Obviously we would have to open the firewall in order to make that happen.

If you have the IP ability and can peer through firewall in and out, you could really make this work with your servers sitting across the planet. -paris Paris Lundis Founder Areaindex, L.L.C. http://www.areaindex.com http://www.pubcrawler.com 412-292-3135 [finding the future in the past, passing the future in the present] [connecting people, places and things] -----Original Message----- From: "Dave Cordes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thu, 24 Oct 2002 11:26:35 -0500 Subject: RE: Using CFEXECUTE from a Web Browser??? > Jochem, > Do you have an idea how I would use this solution from the server.
