> I have a situation where we have three Epson 1800R printers. One is for glossy, one for 11x17 and one for 8.5x11. The printers are named epsR1800-1, epsR1800-2, epsR1800-3. What is happening is that print jobs are being randomly distributed between these printers. They are acting like a pool, but we don't want that. Any suggestions?

I have tried using the DeviceURI?serial=

lpadmin -p Eps1800R-3 -E -v \ usb://EPSON/Stylus%20Photo%20R1800?serial=HQ0140605221139530

but the message is the printer cannot connect.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks, A
