Printer Pooling and default printer

[bjorgenson]

I have created a printer pool called EDP. This EDP logical share has
two ports attached to it with 2 identical printers. When I print to
this pool, it prints to the wrong printer in the pool. I need it to
start priting to printer1 by default and then anything beyond that
would go to printer 2. How can I tell the pool to print to printer1
first by default? I've changed priority levels on both printers but
still does not work.

The ports are pooled alphabetically. The first port in the list is written
to first.

Name the ports
1port
2port

stop and start the spooler
