Have one of those Windows 95/98 clients to serve print services. Windows 95/98 can be a print server and the other clients can connect to this print server instead of the Dell 2500 sitting at the central office.
Knock my door, if you see a problem in this.

Well, I supose I did not explain myself clearly. After all, english is only a second language. Let me try again: 1. I have a WAN with a central server, a Dell 2500, located in the central office. The server runs Windows 2000 and communicates with 20 shops via 64 K leased lines. I have no servers in the shops, only clients. 2. Let's suppose one of the shops has 9 clients pcs, running Windows 95/98/ME, and only three printers. Clients 1, 2 and 3 have each one a printer attached physically. Let's call them printers 1, 2 and 3. 3. For clients 1, 2 and 3, I know for sure the reports sent to the printer will not go to the central server, because each one has a printer attached. 4. Clients 4 and 5 use, as default printer, the printer 1. Clients 6 and 7 use printer 2 as default, and clients 8 and 9 use printer 3. What I want to know is: for those clients, the reports will go to the central server and return to the printer, or Windows know how to send them directly to the printers? I hope my question is clear now.
