There's probably more to it than that. What kind of email do you want to 
send them? Plain text, which they have just as much trouble printing as 
you do, that looks like 1965 correspondence? PCL, when you don't know if 
they have a PCL printer?

A better option is to send them a well-formatted PDF. It can be viewed on 
any system, printed on any printer, and it can look nice, with boxes, 
logo, font changes, etc.

As has been mentioned, our software will allow you to pass the job to a 
Windows box, create a PDF from it, and email it, interactively, 
semi-interactively, or totally batch.
