CUPS has the capability to do both the overlay and the PDF generation, as well as printing directly to the department printer and a lot more. Combine that with Barnard's NJE Bridge, and you get a nice little solution, particularly if you have lots of VSE processing. Talk to me or check out www.bsiopti.com for trial code. To your other question, Google is a good place to start. Then sourceforge.net, and then freshmeat.org. Google tends to lead one to at least some candidates on one of the other two, then you can narrow it down from there. I search for "open source" and then some key words describing what I'm looking for. In this case, "open source print overlay pdf generation" took me right to cups.org. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
