Okay that was my original intention. If it does that then I'm
happy. It's going to be connected to a HP LJ4 btw. It's just
cheaper for me to do this than it is to buy a print server and/
or jet direct card. I also have the advantage of sticking
ghostscript and some postscript generator perl modules on it
for doing nice-looking automated reports ;)
Thanks,
