We are moving to an all browser world and the need for Client Access

to be

installed on the client machine is going away. That and the need to

support

printing to non-college owned computers (e.g. Employee and student home

computers) is pushing us towards LPR/LPD printing.

In an "all browser" world, wouldn't the right way to do printing be
generation of a PDF server-side and just let the client print it
however/wherever they want? If you go the LPR/LPD approach you'll be
supporting code on the client-side (yuck!) and you'll have firewall
issues to content with, be there physical, or software-based.
