    It sounds like Job Control basically acts as a print spooler. And since there's a Trotec print driver, then Windows should consider the machine-or Job Control- a printer... If this is true, then a second print driver should be able to be installed, named differently (if needed) and configured to use a different port for a second machine.

    Still not quite how it works Kev, or how it could work. In Corel, you print to the Trotec and then it goes to Job Control. Having two Trotec printers would do no good because they would both go to Job Control. What is needed is two printers *and* two Job Control, or a way in Job Control to direct the job to a particular laser. Failing this, it’s really easy to have multiple computers setup with Job Control and use a simple KVM switch to run them.
