Summary: Need info on lpr locking mechanism

I 'm running ULTRIX 1.2 on a uVax and have a pair of printers connected
to the same port (a tty line) via an inteligent switch.
The problem is how to tell lpd that both printers share the same tty line
and so, he shouldn't try to write both at the same time.
I 've tried using the same spool directory but that didn't work.

Any suggestion ?
Thanks in advance.

"it's very easy to take more than nothing."
