You can use a porter switch that can be controlled by software. I have a site with 4 printers with different forms in each hooked to one parallel port. The first characters in the print jobs are the printer and character size we want to print at.
Kevin Jones (315) 445-4270 >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2/26/04 3:03:02 PM >>> Tim and Diane, Thanks for the quick replies! I guess I need to be a little more specific. We really want to have our cake and eat it to. We use AUX ON / AUX OFF for local printers already. The problem is, we want to be able to specify which local printer to use as the AUX. So, when the user is printing a CC receipt, it would print to the printer attached to the PC that is defined as the CC receipt printer. But, when the user is trying to print a report, it would print to the local laser printer (which could also be a networked printer). One way to do this is to have the user switch the local printer within SmartTerm, but we wanted to try to handle this in the software, if possible, because...well, you know how users are.
