am i getting PS in?
if so how do i know who is sending it?
this is another delema that i have yet to
even solve. currently i can create a file
in the TMP dir with a name of a date stamp.
Is there a way for PAP to tell the server who
is printing? Once this is solved I will have
a script that can output PDF, GIF, EPS ... anything...
thanks
