Lines: 17 Keywords: Laser Printer,Multiplexed Device Use We would like to hook up a HP laser jet printer to the spooler in a special way. I would like to create two queues, by two different names, with different spool directories and different output filters. All this works fine, but if you enable printing on both at once you get multiplexed output!! Is there anyway to set this up, so that the device is shared properly and output files don't get stepped on. Today we must stop printing on one queue to start the other. In case you're curious, we use one output filter for 66x127 landscape format output and another for 66x80 portrait format output. -- Jack Saltiel Cambridge Digital Systems {wjh12,talcott}!cdstar!saltiel "Nailed retreads to my feet and prayer for better weather."
