in reply to Windows print driver

Thye mechanism I would use for this consists of two parts:

  1. Write a Perl script that creates and monitors a Named Pipe using Win32::Pipe.
  2. Run that script as a service and set up a Windows share for it on the network.

Users then simply copy (drag&drop) their files to the share and the service takes care of the rest.

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". I knew I was on the right track :)
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

    Um, when I informed them they could drag and drop their files to the "browse" button within the browser page, it was declared "too much work". ...I wish I were kidding... They want something directly from their application (whatever that may be at any given time) to magically submit these files for them.

    *sigh*
