Yes, but if you wish, you local client computers can act as network print servers too. Only benefit of having separate print servers is that it makes you local client PCs zero-configuration zero-installation replaceable Currently I am working on making old IBM netvista thin clients act as local print servers (among other things) - they are dead cheap on ebay, versatile, and can serve a large number of printers via USB hub (and in the worst case scenario even replace my desktop client, albeit only up to 1024x768 screen dimensions) Horst _______________________________________________ Gpcg_talk mailing list [email protected] http://ozdocit.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gpcg_talk
