If you want the print engine to be *ON* your machine go use Windows. I
use X with one font server per lan, one print server per lan, most of
the "work" is done from an xnest login to the main workhorse. Why then
would you force me to run like Windows?

I'm with Andrew on this one. Recommends. But make it a bit more clear as
to why you need one somewhere.
