Adding More Than One Printer (for EPSX3 and EFSP42)
If your PrintServer has more than one parallel port and you want to add more
than one printer, repeat all of the steps from "Creating a Printer Resource" on
the previous page.
When you create a new printer resource, use the same printer name you used
for the first printer, with an additional _P2 or _P3 at the end to designate
which additional printer you're adding. If printer number one is called
myprinter, for example, printer two would be called myprinter_P2, and
printer three would be myprinter_P3.
If you need to change the PrintServer's internal setup or configuration at any
time, see page 37 on Bi-Admin.
