Oh, that's nice! Never saw this, never knew :-) Tanks for the tipp! But in my specific case, it is easier to have my student database program store the documents as per students' names. Easier to retrieve, I mean. But where is this Printer Setup thing you use, is it a CUPS frontend? I know CUPS only from its localhost website frontend. (General setup is done via the Suse-wide Yast tool.)
