Multiple printers on a single computer

[mbenzel]

I need to be able to install multiple printers on one system which is possible using "install <unique printer_name>". In the method I use to capture the EnabledPre event, I set CaptureEvents to true. From what I have read, this results in setting the BroadcastMessage option which in turn causes the printer driver to broadcast messages to running applications - the following is from the documentation:

When the message broadcast option is set in the Document Converter products, the printer driver broadcasts messages to all running applications each time one of the following events occur:

• Printer Enabled
  Start of document
  Start of page
  End of page
  End of document

I will have several running applications - one for each installed printer - that need to behave differently depending on which printer was selected from an application such as Word. However, all of the running applications will receive the events from the printer driver. Is there a way within the running applications to tell which printer was selected so that only the application appropriate for the selected printer performs its tasks?

Thanks for your help,

Mark

Hello,

When printing from inside a specific application you can select the printer to which you want to print.

Selecting a specific printer depends on each application.

I however am not sure that you really need to install multipler printer, i suggest that you contact support@amyuni.com to help you with the best configuration for you specific implementation.
