When a logical unit (LU) is defined as a printer, it will be used
to print jobs sent to it by a host print application.  More
than one person can send print jobs to the printer because the
host application is responsible for queueing the jobs.  Another
workstation would not be able to assign that LU to one of its
sessions because it is already being used.

The host application will send output to whatever printer it is
configured for.  For example, suppose a host application called
Jobprint has been set up to print to device Spool1.  Spool1
corresponds to LU3 on the Maxess gateway.  WRK1 is configured for
LU1 = CRT and LU3 = PRT.  WRK2 is configured for LU2 = CRT and LU3
= PRT.  WRK1 logs on and issues a jobprint command to print a TSO
file.  Jobprint formats the output and sends it to the Spool1
device.  Spool1 refers to LU3 at the gateway, so the output goes
to the WRK1 session that has been assigned a printer LU.  Once the
output reaches WRK1, its destination is controlled by DOS
redirection.  If WRK2 logs in, it would get a CRT session but not
a PRT session.  If WRK2 also issued a print request, it would
follow the same path as for WRK1.
