Hey, Rick.
LTNS!
1) The best way to do this is have the user pick a printer when he/she is ready to print (maybe only once per session, if it's something they leave running all day) {SET PRINTER TO NAME GETPRINTER()} OR (if you know who is printing where) just print to the appropriate LPT port {SET PRINTER TO LPTx} or printer {SET PRINTER TO NAME MyLaser}....
2) Again, you could have the user pick when he/she is ready to print, OR create two queues {MyLaserP, MyLaserL} and switch between them manually or programmatically....
If you still talk to any of the TakeNote clan, tell them I said 'hey'.
