[comp.sys.mac] LaserShare with Multi-Bin Printers

bmug@garnet.berkeley.edu (BMUG) (08/30/89)

OK, here's a question for you networking veterans:

Does anyone know if LaserShare (the AppleShare software for
server-based print spooling) is capable of manipulating
multiple paper bin printers (so that, for instance, you can
specify the Legal bin on one job and the Envelope bin on
another, and have the printer switch when it starts each
job) such as the DataProducts 1260, the QMS 820, or a LW NTX
fitted with BDT bins.

I'm speccing out an office system where several kinds of
letterhead, etc., will be routinely printed on from a
network.

If LaserShare can't do the job, will jobs spooled individually
under MultiFinder (using Backgrounder) be able to effect the
bin switch?

Email would be fine, and I'll summarize the experiences of
respondents, interest warranting.
