I personally don't like the hassle of the eclectic mix of lp and lpr and find it a pain in the butt. So I'm for standardizing on a consistent printer interface. On the other hand, I'm not attached to palladium in any way, I guess I don't really care what the standard is, as long as there is a standard... So what's wrong with palladium? Are there other printing systems out there? -- Jaye Mathisen, COE Systems Manager (406) 994-4780 410 Roberts Hall,Dept. of Computer Science Montana State University,Bozeman MT 59717 osyjm@cs.montana.edu
