Hi Pierre, I was just assuming that some old-school businesses (like I have 3+) would rather want to print out and 'snail mail' I.e. Use Post Service instead of e-mail (you won't believe how conservative people are getting over here these days ...)
The 'print queue' could very well be a Communication Event withint ofbiz assigning a print task to an agent who will print the invoices out, envbelope and carry to the Mail Office :) ... Just an Idea. Regards Carsten PS: I was really not imagining to enable a local print queue through the OFBIz platform.

Question I have though is: how do we enable management of this solution? Meaning, end users need to be able to setup (a) print queue(s) themselves. Or did you have a programmatic solution in mind, whereby a system admin or a programmers modifies a config file in the system?
