We use device classes to tell the operator what type 4 Unispool
device to send it to. Each type 4 device has an "environment" file
associated with it which formats the report (landscape,
portrait..tray, etc...).

I concur. We use Unispool here with the same technique and with
no problems. Nice and tidy, works well.
There is a limit of somewhere around 450 device classes per
system which we did come close to hitting at one time. But who
needs 450 printers!
