Thanks for your response. By the way, the PDF how-to collection was new to
me. Very nicely done. I appreciate it a lot.

I have read all of the parameters and the PRINTER_DRIVER2.txt document
(which is now in the PDF). I just reread them. I think that I've got
everything set up as far as I can go. I'm using a printer admin user who is
also mapped to be root. I can install printer drivers using Server
Properties and going to the Drivers tab and clicking on add. But that's all
that works. The APW fails every time when I get to Finish. Since I don't
have an addprinter command, deleteprinter command, or an enumports command,
I assume that is why it fails. But there are no sample scripts for these and
the utilities themselves are not included, like make_printerdef is. So I'm
not sure what to do next to get the APW to work.

Thanks, Gary
