RE: 1 remote outq...for users across the usa?

I would suggest you use e-mail to delever these reports. There are several
packages that support this... Here is one of them: http:\\www.gumbo.com

Take a look at thier Spoolmail product and especially the "Logical printer
drivers and support create "printers" that e-mail" feature .... 

We use this on our system and love it!

Subject: 1 remote outq...for users across the usa?


Mission: to have multiple remote users from each of their homes...working on

their own pC's...take a menu option that prints a report...to their home 
printer.

Access to our 400 is currently through the internet with standard java - 
tcp/ip entrance.

There IS a virtual printer function within the software but it assigns an 
outq name dynamically and none of these users are going to be able to 
execute change job commands...nor do we want them to have to. There is no 
way, I believe, to extract the name of the virtual device/outq that each job

creates so that wouldn't work. In addition, the least amount of windows that

open up remotely on each PC, the less questions and phone calls will be made

to our customer service ot IT departments.

Best scenario would be to establish a "remote" outq of some sort...hopefully

attached to the printer file of the report that is printed...and when 
spooled, would automatically print on each persons home printer...is any of 
this feasable?

Thanks much.

Rick Rayburn
