Is there an easy way to have a single print job or form queue send to
two printers?

I have four printers on a D3/Linux system. I have a report printing to
formqueue 0, I want to automatically send it to formqueue 3 also.

And way to set up a psuedo formqueue that would forward the spooler job
to two formqueue's.

I can rig this through internal programming. I was just looking for a
system way to answer my need.

Thanks.

I do hope your programming workaround is something on the linux side, like
SP-ASSIGN f11,lp.unix(/usr/local/d3gredforge)
instead of fancy pickbasic code. Erm, where the d3gredforge linux shell script
does something like
tee /tmp/foo2 | lpr -Pfred ; lpr -Pgeorge /tmp/foo2

That way the benefits are available to all d3 users/programs.

One way of doing this is to save the print job in a hold file and then use
the PR-SPOOL-JOB command twice to output the file to the required printers.
