Printing to multiple printers

[jdkeith]

I need applications to output to multiple printers on an NT4.0 print server, that is to say one copy to each printer. Can this be done from the printer control on the server, or must a batch run to copy the files? If a batch is necessary how do you parse the files to be printed to multiple printers?

Never tried it, but if you create a printer as normal, you should be able to go to the ports tab and tick two physical printer ports (lpt1 and lpt2 etc).

Perhaps I should add that these printers are on LPR printer ports, connected via TCP/IP over standard category five. Part of the reason for this is to print to separate locations. I cannot select two lpr ports for this operation.
