Re: IPDS printer option worthyness

   Sounds good Pat. I appreciate the opinion, I was looking for more tangible
   arguments so I could form my own.
    
   The gateway option previously mentioned also sounds intreging to an
   extent, but I lothe adding "external" complexity/cost, and would rather
   purchase "real" printers (for a low number of printers anyway, I'm sure
   there would be a tipping point where I would opt for a gateway approach)

     Volume is the key...

     HPT will handle a lot of situations, but certainly not all.

     IPDS still remains the gold standard for advanced printing.
