RE: Printing the same spool file in TWO printers in the same time

There is a DUPSPLF in the Qusertool product.  You can duplicate it to
different printers.  It works great.

                This'll work, but it has a couple of severe disadvantages.
Firstly you have
                to modify and therefore complicate the application program.
Secondly, the
                page number will be reset to one when the printer file is
re-opened, which
                obviously affects the output if page numbers are printed.
I'm not sure if
                there's a way round this.
