Re[2]: Printing the same spool file in TWO printers in the s

     Dave, 
     
     I don't see eight additional lines of code as a serious 
     complication. And since page numbers are just a part of the report, 
     I doubt there's any problem with page numbers being reset. 
     Actually, I have to do the same thing with some dayend reports that 
     our fax server was choking on. There was a 100 page limit, and 
     reports had to be broken into pieces to successfully xmit.

This'll work, but it has a couple of severe disadvantages. Firstly you have
to modify and therefore complicate the application program. Secondly, the
page number will be reset to one when the printer file is re-opened, which
obviously affects the output if page numbers are printed. I'm not sure if
there's a way round this.
