I am sitting faced with a deadline on a project, and
would apriciate any help on this matter urgent.
The situation is as follows there are 2 printers
that have to share a workload of many users.
(actual situation is 600 users and 200 printers)
If one printer is busy printing the other should get
next job in que. This is posible in NetWare and
AIX but how do do this in LPD in BSD Unix.
Is there a special syntax in /etc/printcap
