printers...

     Hi People!!
     
     Is it possible to dequeue an LPD print queue to two or more LPD
     printers. I have HP deskjets servicing Q's around my building on a one
     queue to one printer basis. We have a need for voluminous printing.
     Rather than buy one huge mother of a printer to do the lot, we thought
     about splitting the jobs accross two or more printers. This would
     reduce points-of-failure aswell.
     
     I have thought about gateway-ing the Unix Q through to a
     NetWare/Flex-IP or NetWare/Novix device and using Netware's
     capabilitys of multiple print servers to one Q but this increases
     points of failure when I want to reduce them!
     
     Any ideas anyone?
     
     Best Regards,
