Help with CUPS Printer Class

[MichaelP]

I have two HP laserjet 1320 printers, say HP1 and HP2, in a cups print class. The windows clients print to the one printer installed, say HP, and CUPS alternates the printers. This workd fine.

What i want is to setup HP1 to print on LETTER size paper and HP2 to print on LEGAL size paper. The client sees one printer but cups will redirect to HP1 or HP2 based on the paper size and not just alternate.

Hope I am clear enough on me needs

afaik, this is not what printer classes are for; they are for distributing printer jobs among identical printers. you would need to remove them from the same class and install them as two separate printers, one for letter paper and one for legal paper.

I do not want to install more than one printer on the Windows clients, and together with the high volume , i decided to use a class. Is there anyway for cups to redirect to specific printers within the class based on paper size, and still use a class?
