Our hospital is currently upgrading to Windows 2000 (I know, a little late). Currently we use a medical application that prints both forms and labels. The application has a pull down list of the available print queues that the user can select from. In our situation, the labels are being pulled from tray 1 and the forms are being pulled from tray 2. Win 9x makes it easy to set up different printers from the same print queue using different names (i.e. "Laboratory - Forms", and "Laboratory - Labels"
. Both of these printers would be pointing to the same queue on the print server, but set up to pull from different trays. Windows 2000, however, does not allow you assign different names to printers - it only labels them "QUEUE NAME on SERVER NAME". I have no idea why Microsoft would do this, but I need to know if there is a way around it without having to set up several hundred more print queues on the print server just so we can print labels from tray 1.
