I'm running 2 linux boxes here, with CUPS, but I've never had the issue of jumbled pages when printing simultaneously. At work, we're using Trusted Solaris 8, and the printers have their own IP, but again, we have 30+ devs printing lots of files for review, and each job is printed individually, not jumbled. I would have to recommend CUPS on your choice of *nix at this point, but I don't remember seeing that problem, even with a shared printer on MS software. -- Thanks, Fernando Vilas fvilas at iname.com -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
