Hi managers,

ES40, Tru64 v5.1A, patch kit 1.
HP Laserjet 4100 with internal Jetdirect card.

Our application prints to a printer via LPD, which we suspect of giving us
a problem.

Is there a way to set up a print queue in Unix so that it prints to 2
printers from one print queue? We want to compare the output from both.

More info: When we configure our printers and queues, we edit the printcap
file directly and manually create spool directories and so on. We do not
use lprsetup or other helpful utility.

Here is the section in printcap;
mm_hp4|lp35|mm_hp4:\
        :lp=:\
        :rm=MM_HP4:\
        :rp=text:\
        :lf=/usr/spool/lpd/mm_hp4.log:\
        :sd=/usr/spool/lpd/mm_hp4:

Many thanks
Shaun
