we
have one output queue pointing to some type of "printer pool" (say two
different printers) and if one of the printers is writing be able to send
the output to another printer? I am told that this can be done on Window$
servers, and I would assume something to this effect _could_ be
accomplished. Is this something InfoPrint Server could handle?"

Chris -

Yes, this is possible with no programming or mirrors involved.  Simply use
the OUTQ parm of the STRPRTWTR command

STRPRTWTR DEV(PRT01) OUTQ(OUTQ1)
STRPRTWTR DEV(PRT02) OUTQ(OUTQ1)
STRPRTWTR DEV(PRT03) OUTQ(OUTQ1)
STRPRTWTR DEV(PRT04) OUTQ(OUTQ1)

and viola!  Four printers started to one output queue (You can have as many
as 10 printers started).  If you have enough spool files being created, all
four printers will 'drain' the output queue.

HTH,

Steve
