If you have a spoolfile that you want to direct to two or more printers with
NBSPool you would include logic in your background job that would do
something like this:

Let's say you have a spoolfile called ACCTRPT that you want to print on
device LP, ACCTLP and NETLP anytime it shows up in the spooler. Your NBSpool
background job would have this logic in it:

WHILE ACCTRPT
  COPY !CURRENT TO NETLP;PTYPE=LJ <<if this a network printer using a
jetdirect card>>
  COPY !CURRENT TO NTSERVER;LPR;DEST="ACCTLP" <<sends to an NT print
server>>
  ALTER !CURRENT;PRI=12;DEV=LP <<raise the priority to 12 and alter the
device to LP>>
END

So every time this spoolfile shows up in the spooler a copy gets sent to
NETLP, a copy gets sent to an NT print server with a queue name of ACCTLP
and the original spoolfile gets altered to device LP with a priority of 12
and it prints.

Subject: HP3000 output to two logical devices


Dear Listeners,

Is there a way to print output from the HP3000 to two logical devices, if
the user has specified a single device?  Or is there a way to send all out
to two logical devices concurrenly?
