Hey Harold, Ummmm, Quite a bit...I had over 4500 printers (HP's, Lexmark, IBM, Etc) at the Alabama Dept. of Revenue and Criminal Justice Information Systems when I was living/working in Alabama. I didn't see a sig. at the end of your post so I don't have an email address for you. What would you like to know? Your welcome to email me private if you like michael (AT) dovelane.com - Stupid email harvesters.
