------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Dec 9 20:15:07 +0000 2008 ------- Any print-driver-specific option, like duplexing, or 2-up, or stapling, or output-paper-tray is going to be a problem to add one at a time. The multiple-queues solution resolves all of those (messily), but then has the priority problem Grover mentions, and that I'm running into today. At least in my testing with network printers, isBusy isn't accurate either, so I can't wait to print chunks of a document to each virtual printer except by hard-coding a wait time -- and even that assumes that the printer is actively working on my requests, and I can "slow things down" enough to feed it jobs in exactly the right order. Even if a "job priority" setting were added, it would probably only order the jobs within a given (virtual) print queue, and not help coordinate multiple jobs for the same physical printer, but waiting in multiple logical queues. It also likely wouldn't help in the case where you need to print a document in 5 chunks (some stapled, some not, some duplexed, some not) and you want them to all go to the same physical printer, but you have printer pooling set up (automatic load-balancing) -- because the 5 chunks aren't treated as "one" job, so there's no reason to hold them together. You'll wind up with 3 on one printer and 2 on another, or somesuch -- and possibly interleaved with other users' print jobs in the output trays. That whole rant likely deserves its own feature request ticket, but I thought I'd express it here, as adding duplexing as a one-off option won't solve the general case. I don't know what will. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
