Preferences allowed me to easily get my Dynax DX-15 (i.e., Brother HR-15)
serial daisywheel printer working with my Amiga. I discovered this evening,
to my pleasure, that the same driver works well with my ancient but trusty
Heathkit H-14 dot-matrix printer; the only accomodation I made was to turn
down the baud rate to 4800, that being the top speed of the H-14. So now I
have two printers running off the same driver, and with an A-B switch in a
black box, I'll be home free to choose either one.
However, if you've got two different drivers you want to use (for example, an
Epson parallel dot-matrix and a Brother serial LQP), what do you do then?
Obviously, getting into Preferences each time and changing things is a
nuisance. Is there a way from the CLI to specify output properly for this
situation?
