The point is - most network printers have a built in web server. Just point your browser at the IP address of the printer, and voila! You have all the information you need about ink levels, configuration, etc. This eliminates the need for printer utility software on each PC in the network, and I can access this information from any PC. -- Dave Grosvold -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
