I'm currently taking up a project on C#.NET and using Microsoft SQL server. The project is a restaurant/kitchen management system that allows you to take a single list of orders ( let say, pizza, Tacos, burrito, etc), then the application should be able to sort out the order and send them to different POS printers where these items are made/sold.

I do need help, I appreciate anyone kind gesture.
PS: I'm a newbie I just wanna learn. Thanks xx

What I have tried:

I've built the application to take up a single order but it can only print all on one single printer.

If you are using a PrintDocument[^] - and you probably should be - you can specify the printer it should use as well as exactly what gets printed where:

C#

public void Print(string printerName)
{
  PrintDocument doc = new PrintDocument();
  doc.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = printerName;
  doc.PrintPage += new PrintPageEventHandler(PrintAPage);
  doc.Print();
}
