Hi Hal, I only use a very simplistic system printing two copies on to a single laser printer. Both are the same colour and print on to blank sheets however I'm sure it would be possible to have two lasers connected via USB to the same PC each loaded with different coloured paper and use the SET PRINTER TO command to select the appropriate printer. The only extra expense would be the second printer which is not a lot these days. The job I worked on needed two copies of an invoice one of which was packed with the goods as soon as it was printed so the issue of keeping the forms together didn't arise.
