Duane Percox wrote something to HP3000-L and I did a two part series in the
3000 NewsWire about this. The "documented" alternate OUTSPTJ directive for
npconfig DOES NOT WORK. Duane wrote about how you could sort of fake out the
system to use two different OUTSPTJ spoolers, but as a practical matter you
could not use this trick on a production system with a mix of PCL and
non-PCL printers.
