- No, it means we don't test it or promise that it will work, nor agree
- to help you make it work (locally). We only support it as a way of
- spooling jobs to remote printers. Again, note the difference between
- *support*, and *may/does work*. Specifically, "support" means that even
- if you have a support contract, the TAC is not committed to doing anything
- to help you make it work to a local printer.
