- I would be very interested in this also please email me also or post. I have
- several printers all HP lasers (different models though) that are shared with
- PC-NFS (uses regular UNIX remote printing). Most of the printers are actually
- on SPARC's. We have one heavy user who often prints several thousand pages
- to an HPIIIsi. when this is going on is there any easy way to spool other
- print requests to another printer rather than Queing them up.
- thanks in advance.
