RE: Two identical printers acting differently

["Steinmetz, Paul" <PSteinmetz@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Virtual printers.
We also do the same for those areas requiring  a printer name.

Userprofiles, jobds, etc

Device description . . . . . . . . :   PAULS 
Option . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :   *BASIC
Category of device . . . . . . . . :   *PRT  
                                             
Device class . . . . . . . . . . . :   *VRT  
Device type  . . . . . . . . . . . :   4214  
Device model . . . . . . . . . . . :   2

If the OP is "just sure" then that's ok.  But we often created a dummy printer to go with the output queue that was only used for stuff which just insisted on a device instead of an output queue, like query/400.

Don't look at the devices. I agree that they match. Do check the OUTQ's 
and the writers..
 I'll bet he one that isn't processing the copies is configured as a 
remote outq and has been started with STRRMTWTR

Switching them around.  That's a good idea.

I don't know if the printers firmwares are the same, the customer says 
they
were purchased at the same time but that doesn't mean anything.
