>I will take a look but my understanding is ADSI works on NT/win2000. Is there an option that supports a shared printing device on Win9x, Netware, NT, Win2000 and stand a lone printers?

There is a provider for NDS as well. MSDN should have some info on using it. There are also Active Directory Client Extensions that will work with Windows 9x.

The standalone printers will still show up in the AD, even if they're not hooked to a computer.
