RE: Print Multiple Outq's to One Printer...

I've been doing that for some time as well (with 286s). But I'm curious why
you have three printer emulation sessions for each PC?

Bob,

The ideas are REALLY starting to roll now :-)

As far as printing goes, I've mentioned this before on Midrange-L; Starting
several years ago, I have taken "old 386/486" PC's and configured them with
"good
ole" PC Support/DOS with 3 print sessions each and we are driving various
models
of HP lasers through the network. This has provided departmental "AS/400"
printers with GREAT print quality, where they would have been hard to
justify
normally or where they already had a LAN attached HP...
