	System:
		Onyx C8002
		Unix SIII
		RM/COBOL Ver 1.6B
	Problem:
		Can't use more than one printer

	The user manual I got with my system says that the device
synonyms "PRINTER" and "PRINTER1" both open a pipe to "/usr/bin/lpr".
The synonym "PRINTER2" opens a pipe to "/usr/bin/lpr2". I wrote a
C program called "lpr2" that execs a spooler to another serial printer
("/usr/bin/spr").  However, when I specify "PRINTER2" in a SELECT
statement, the output goes to "lpr" instead of "lpr2". I can use a
shell command 'cat file | lpr2' and the output does go to 'spr'.
	Has anyone else seen or had this problem? Better yet, has
anyone come up with a fix or solution?
