Re: Printing question

Yes, this can be done. Here's the info from _Printer Device Programming_.
Load balancing is automatic. I can't see where to manually move things,
however.

Using multiple printer writer support
Multiple printer writers can be started to one output queue. The limit is
10. This
support allows many printers (up to 10) to begin printing spooled output files
from the same output queue.
The multiple printer writer function supports work load balancing between
printers. It also provides backup for printed jobs running unattended. For
example,
if one printer jams or runs out of paper the others continue to print
spooled output
files from the associated output queue.
