oops nevermind... If you have each printer shared off a physically connected machine the print job is spooled on that machine connected to the printer unless you have the spooler specially configured to sit somewhere else which is possible but doesnt help you much. Is that what you meant?

If you have this up right now try \\ip\printername to see if it connects.

Thanks for your answer, and let me explain better: yes, each shop has several printers, each printer is connected to a pc, and shared via the network. But a printer is intended to be used only by clients in the same shop, id est, each client in the shop points to some printer in the same shop as the default printer. What I want to know is if a report sent to a printer which is not physically attached to this client has to travel to the central server and return to the printer in the shop or not. As I said , someone told me since Windows95 the OS knows how to solve it locally, without going to the server.
