Only that I have noticed that two printers from different manufacturers
seldom, if ever, respond the same way to specialized DDS keywords like
BARCODE.  You might check the device descriptions for the printers to
determine any differences.  Perhaps the system can be fooled into thinking
the Printronix is an Intellitech or vice versa.  That assumes, of course,
that one or the other printer will tolerate such behavior.

You might also check the printer seup itself.  Perhaps there is an option to
rotate bar codes or some such. 

When are you routing the overflow output to the secondary printer?  When the
spooled file is created?  Is the program that generates the bar codes making
the determination?  Chances are the only way to make this work would be to
do the latter and put indicators on the keywords the relevant printer will
accept. 

Hope that helps and good luck.

We have a receiving label program which creates barcode output to an
Intellitech 48AS printer, using a standard BARCODE(CODE3OF9) DDS statement.
We recently purchased a Printronix T5304 printer to provide additional
receiving label output to, but are experiencing problems with the labels
that are printing via the Printronix (most notably the labels appear to be
rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise).
