Do you have to actually print to two printers? You could output the info to two different files then print those files after you're done.

It should go something like this:

define stream s1.
define stream s2.
output stream s1 to "myfile1".
output stream s2 to "myfile2".
put stream s1 "claro que si".
put stream s2 "si se puede".
close stream s1.
close stream s2.
/* assuming unix */
os-command("lp -dlp1 myfile1"),
os-command("lp -dlp2 myfile2").
/* be sure to remove if you wish... */

Hope that helps!

Progress 8 only supports

OUTPUT TO PRINTER.
-or-
OUTPUT TO os-device.

the commands:

OUTPUT TO printer1.
OUTPUT TO printer2.

should be a compile errors!


Try:

OUTPUT TO lpt1:.
-or-
OUTPUT TO lpt2:

Under progress 9 you can say:

OUTPUT TO PRINTER \\computername\printername.
