Re: Question on Multiple Printers using One Outq

["Jeffrey M. Silberberg" <silbrbrg@xxxxxxxxxx>]

  As long as the to device descriptions are appropriate for the OUTQ 
 you can hang multiple WTRS on a single outque.  However, it will only 
 handle closed next inline files, so if you open and leave open a single 
spool file for this application then it is no help.  But if each document 
is a seperate spool file it sould work GREAT !!
