In response to: "Walker, Dave (Ivy Hill)" who asked:
Is there a way to assign TWO printers to a single print job. I.E., we want
a
report to print both on the shipping floor and in the shipping manager's office. The only thing I could come up with was to run the report once for each printer. Any way to generate it once and send it to both printers at the same time?
If you are on Unidata, the Unidata commands manual indicates that you can do it this way, if your report is being generated by a Basic program:
---------------------------------------------------------------Submitting Concurrent Print Jobs
With SETPTR, you can define up to 31 logical printer units per UniData session. You can use this functionality to submit concurrent print jobs fom a UniBasic application. One common implementation follows:
- Define two logical printer units (for instance, 0 and 1) that point to different physical print devices.
- Direct all lines of a report to one printer with the UniBasic PRINT ON command (for instance, PRINT ON 0 PRINT.LINE).
- Direct summary (break) lines to the second printer (PRINT ON 0 PRINT.LINE followed by PRINT ON 1 PRINT.LINE).
In this way, you can print a summary report and a detail report at the same time.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Or, in your case, print each line to each printer, so that you don't have to run the same job twice with 2 different destinations.
