Transferring Print Querys from 1 printer to another?

[Mojoala]

Let's say that a printer has 200 jobs it is printing and the printer breaks
down.

Is there a way to transfer the print jobs to another printer?


thanks, Joey

The easiest way to do this assuming the same driver is used on both queues
is to use or create a new port that prints to the same IP address of the
device.

Printer / Properties / Ports / create new Standard tcp (or what ever port
type you use) name temptootherprinter.

When you hit apply the backup queue will start printing to the new address.
Change it back when you get your printer repaired.
