Thanks for the detail. The emphasis is on mobile devices. I wonder why they are singled out? Interesting. I would set a Username and Password and see how you go on printing and scanning using CUPS and SANE and your iPhone. > I don't see anything in the User Guide. Neither do I. Expecting explanations in a Guide is optimistic, but a mentiom would not be out of place. A single, unique Username/Password combination is all that is required. What is the liklihood of its remaining unknwn in an orgaisation for very long? Security doesn't appear to be enhanced. -- Brian.
