  27. No, instead you now have double the trouble.  This whole discussion centered
  28. around people using incorrect printer channel addresses. Regardless of what you
  29. do, people will occassionally enter an incorrect address.  Now you've merely
  30. introduced a new variable they can get wrong -- two different printer channel
  31. "domain" names each with a different addressing format.
