Logical Printers

Redirecting Print Jobs If print data is received for a printer that is already busy, the host normally when a Printer is Busy must wait. However, for a two-port print server it is possible to use a logical

printer to redirect the print data to another logical printer when the target printer is busy. If the second printer is also busy, the host must wait until the target printer is ready.

Example: Follow the instructions below to redirect PR1 print jobs to PR3, when the printer assigned to PR1 is busy:

1.From the print server’s internal Web page, select Admin Logical

Printers.

2.Select the PR1 tab.

3.Set the Physical Port parameter to LPT1.

1.Set the Secondary Printer parameter to PR3.

2.Set the Wait On Busy parameter to NO.

3.Click the OK button.

4.Select Admin Logical Printers and the PR3 tab.

5.Set the Physical Port parameter to LPT2.

6.Click the OK button.

Notes:

•The two printers must use the same printer driver.

•Logical Printer redirection cannot be nested. If PR3 is redirected to another logical printer, the print job will not be redirected if PR3 is busy.

•If both printers are busy, the print job will be printed on the printer that first finishes its active print job.
