is this a result of "pooling"? Can you simply tell it NOT to pool the printers? Seems to me I've read/heard something about that pooling will send it to whichever is "next". This reminds me of DNS servers. Which alternate which one gets the request. I have no idea how to fix this, but these are the thoughts that ran through my head when I heard this. Good Luck
