Hello David & Theresa,
Just to be clear for everyone's sake - the print delivery team's scope
was restricted to the management of central printer queues. However,
if we view David's request for a W92-2 IPM printer as supporting SAP
central printing, I don't think we're straying too far from our scope.
I just wanted everyone to know that we (the print team) committed to
restricting our focus to central printing only, and we wish to offend
no one if we support David's request below.
