Hello,
Is there any method to
1> Redirect the print job from one printer to another based on some
criteria?
2> Break the job and redirect parts to several different printers ? (
like load sharing )
Thanks
Srikanth
It sounds like “printer pooling” will do what you are looking for. Refer

Hi Ashwin,
There is a little bit of difference in what I am looking at and what
Printer Pooling does. I will try to explain what I am looking at , if
you need clarifications, let me know.
I need to catch the EMF with the devmode from clients and then depending
on some rules, I want to play it on the specified printer.
Rules can be,
1>Say, I have dedicated some printer for people who print short jobs, I
do not want any big job to be scheduled on it.
2> If a user prints more than 1000 pages document, break it into
multiple jobs and send the job to differnet printers so that the print
process is completed fast. ( I don’t mind user running to 10 computers
and collecting the parts of job ).
3> Dedicated a printer out of the collection for color/high quality jobs
and depending on the content of printing, route it to the right printer.
4> Count the number of pages to do the breaking into pages, or to access
restrict for someone from printing more than X number of pages.
Such rules, I can define only if I get programmable points either in the
rendered data stream or at the emf level on a print server.
Is there any way to do this ?
Thanks
Srikanth

All your objectives seem to be related more to print queue management as
opposed to the driver itself. I am not aware of any way for you to
control this via the driver itself. There might already be features
related to enterprise print server management that fit your needs. But
my area of expertise is limited to print drivers and other customizable
print subsystem components and do not know enough about enterprise
printing to comment on this.
