Is MerlinOne a web based system?? and does anyone have a  vague idea  
on what such a system would cost?

Why couldn't ..a netwrok printer que be created with a filter...so  
that when the user prints to the que.... a filter makes a copy of the  
file and converts it to a PDF passing the original information threw  
to the rip que.
