Has anybody had a need to print the same print job, on two printers,
repetitively? How did you address that need? Are there commercial
utilities that can make sure that any time Printer X gets a print job
from my computer, that Printer Y also receives the print job and thus
the job is printed twice?

Just for some background:
I have two Windows XP printers (one of them an actual laser printer,
the other a fax) and I'd like to be able to send a print job to both
of them consecutively, so as to ensure that anything that is sent via
this internal fax is also sent to the laser printer, as a way of
observing what is being faxed out.
 
Thier's probably only one way that would work,you need to get a script(s)
developed for the OS to configure the two to work together..The place for
that,& you might just find such a monster (if not,use the "contact us")..Go

I will have a look in that Windows Script Center. Thanks for the tip,
Andrew.
