Subject: Econet Printer servers

  Does anybody out there know anything about writing Econet printer server 
software. I've been looking at this recently and I thought of the following
points:

               1) I can pick up packets from the net and print them but
                       a) How much data is in each packet?
                       b) How do I know when I have the last one?

               2) What do I do if another station requests service whilst I'm
                 still servicing a previous request

               3) Do I have to respond to a client doing a *PS command and if
                 so, how?

  I did post a message asking about Econet printer servers on the net but all I
got was a message from Acorn saying "You can buy one from us for 40 pounds".
