Section 10 Management and Configuration
Redirecting Print Jobs
when a printer is busy
If print data is received for a printer that is already busy, the
host must wait. However, 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
Printer Settings.
2. Select the Printer1 tab.
3. Set the Physical Port parameter to LPT1.
4. Set the Secondary Printer parameter to PR3.
5. Set the Wait On Busy parameter to NO.
6. Click the OK button.
7. Select the Printer3 Web page.
8. Set the Physical Port parameter to LPT2.
9. 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.
