To put it mildly, that can be a nuisance especially if multiple documents are printed on distinct printers.

But we have been thinking, in a LAN setting, and if the stations have fixed ip's (which the browser passes through), then based on a configuration scheme, the server could initiate the printing on the user's printers.

Was just wondering if that is viable solution.

It would definitely not work on an extranet setting. So how are people solving that; Google printing?
