Environment

Novell ZENworks Configuration Management 11.2 Policies

Situation

Different LPR printers are hosted with different print queues on the same print server and with the same IP address
2 print policies have been created, pointing to the same IP address but different print queues and have been assigned to a device

The ZCM agent creates only one printer port with the name zenworks_<IP address of printer server> which can only point to one of the print queues
