	Dear Chuck, I've recently installed RedHat Linux 4.2 (Biltmore) in
my server, and it does exactly what you want out of the box!!!! This is an
extension to the very good printtool utility that comes with every RedHat
distribution. If don't like RedHat or do not have Linux, I suggest
installing one to see how it works, and than copy and if necessary adapt
the scripts. There isn't any binary, so you could easily use them in any
Unix system.

	Hope this helps!

	Celso.
