Easy... just open a window in your browser to your favorite site (say
"ftp://ftp.v-one.com/"), and drag a file into that window. It should (at
least it does with Netscape 4.x and IE 5.x) begin the upload to the FTP
site.

Do you want to print through the browser or just access a printer? 

You could open up the printer port using plug-gw or lp-gw, but the
browser machine will need to push the printer request (somehow?).

Rick, could you filter URLs to disallow any "*.gif, *.jpg, *.png" URLs?
Of course, you would need to do some trickery if they also wanted
HTTP/1.1...
