Thanks, but that was on of the pages I have been reading. It is a good 
overview to start with. I am however looking for something about where 
in that picture something like

   c:\> copy file.txt \\host-name\queue-name

ties in. (Or dito using LPT1 etc.) That page I mentioned in another 
message (Print Job Formats) is at the bottom of the content table to the 
left in the page above. Maybe that says a bit, but that is only guesses. 
I am missing some pieces of information here. Seems like we want more 
technical stuff.
