Can you set up the label-printing program in a VM on the user's desktop? The VM would have one printer, the label printer, and it would be the default. Rest of the apps would run outside the VM and use the outside machine's printer assignments. -- Angus Scott-Fleming GeoApps, Tucson, Arizona 1-520-290-5038 +-----------------------------------+ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
