Solved Redirect printer queue to a different printer?

[BudVitoff]

We have two printers in our network.

We had several print jobs queued up for one printer, which ran out of ink. It would be handy if there were a way to redirect the queue to the second printer.

Any takers?

Hi,

The only way I can see for that to happen is to redirect it to an identical printer on a different port.

Do you have one?

Different printers, but both are Hewlett-Packards. Not close enough, I suppose. I am curious as to how you'd do it if they were identical. It so happens that we do have a twin for one of them.

I've never found a way to do it. Even if you reinstall the same printer, or change it to wired because wireless fails, you lose what's in the queue. I know of no way to transfer to another printer once it's queued.

I would have be against it, anyway. Thanks for the help.
