Hi Debra,

Check the comment to the blog post. I'm thinking the Adobe Acrobat starts when you print it the first time and it doesn't exit when you try to print the second, that's why it's only printed to the first printer. I believe I recently saw a relevant thread (in Russian) on www.foxclub.ru website.

You probably need to kill Adobe after you printed the first time to make it work.
