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.
