Graeme, as ever you are right in principle; however maybe you could describe a bit more how you would envision client and server to correspond, with an emphasis on the fact that they may have been set up with different software versions ...<div>

I see no reason why we should assume the print server knows about either<br>
profiles or settings. The print server can be totally dumb, re. ink settings<br>
all I expect to hear from it is "Yes, Master, I do as Ye command!"<br>

I see very good reasons why the print server should know - they are<br>
device properties and the print server acts as the agent for the<br>
device to any (possibly remote) client using it.<br>

Yes you could hack up a way of placing this information somewhere<br>
else to work around a really dumb print driver/server, but you'd<br>
be better in that case to create server that is aware of<br>
printer settings and behaviour to encapsulate the dumb driver.<br><font color="#888888">
