How did you know they're Zebra printers :-)? Your suggestion is what
I finally came up with although my goal is to have both printers print
every spool file. Perhaps that's not possible without changing a
program.

You can start multiple print writers for the same outq.  We do that 24/7
for 2 Zebra label printers that are side by side.

STRPRTWTR DEV(ZEBRA2) OUTQ(ZEBRA)

Whichever writer is started first gets every spool file, unless it happens
to be busy printing a previous spool file.  In that case the next spool
file starts writing on the 2nd device.  Ta da!  Two printers handling the
same outq at the same time.  Works great.

There is no 'rule' that says the outq name has to match the print device
name.

Basically you're looking for something from a system from the ancients -
the S/36 and it's BALPRINT command.  I don't believe there's any built in
function like that on the i.

The procedure BALPRINT is not supported.

That kind of knowledge has passed from this world.

time

How do I configure writers, or queues or whatever; to send files from
an already existing printer defined using CRTDEVPRT DEVD PRINTER1...,
to another already existing printer defined using CRTDEVPRT DEVD
PRINTER2... at the same time?
