I'll go along with whatever you guys decide, but I really don't see the
point of putting printer admin (or registry admin) functions in
'net'.  But I generally tend to dispise bloated tools.  I like
multiple, small tools.  Large ones tend to requires a programming language
like interface on the command line. :-)

But i think I'm too late on this debate....
