David,
Just as a warning, I fought with OT PAP for many months trying to get
it to work as advertised. The problem is that the client side is
heavily used and tested. Anyone that prints uses it. But the server
side has been minimally tested. I found numerous problems and wished I
had just written my own PAP layer. Initially it would drop all
connections if one connection closed. We had a front end tool that
opened multiple, concurrent PAP connections to one server. When one
connection closed, all closed. It also stopped accepting new
connections after about 30 connections. That made Adobe certification a
real joy :-) So I would just say that you may want to plan on some of
your workarounds becoming the final product. This was 3 years ago, so
things may have gotten better. But I think Apple devotes pretty minimal
resources to fixing PAP problems and so you may have to live with some
of it's gotchas.
Good luck,
Jason
