The problem you'd have is interpreting the file types. Say someone
uploaded a Microsoft Visio file, how would the web interface understand
that?
Brian, Google printui.dll. You can add this to your login script(s)
(assuming it's for the college users on their Windows workstations) to
connect the printer in the form of \\server\printer_name. You can
install the PDFCreator in "network share" mode on to your print server.
For example in the login script:
rundll32 printui.dll PrintUIEntry /in /n \\server\printer_name
Would add the printer on a per-machine basis when a user logs in
(connecting a shared printer normally only applies to the users account,
i.e. it's profile specific).
Or you could write a VBS script that's called from the login script to
connect the printer, checking that it doesn't exist first. Once again a
quick Google on "vbs add printer" should bring up several examples.
Regards,
David.
