Let me expound a bit.
I can print to the print server with no problem, but only to the first port.
There are three ports on the server.
If it were a SMB or Novell server, you would set the printer share or queue
to the name of the printer/spool on the remote server in the "Remote Queue"
field (printtool for X.)
What do I need to put in the "Remote Queue" field to get my JetDirect server
to print to the other two ports? Right now, no matter which spool I use
(trying to set up all three printers) everything prints out on the printer
attached to port 1 on the server.
Any ideas?
