many plotters pulling out jobs from a single queue

Hello folks,

Someone here came up with the idea of having more that one plotter pulling
out print jobs from a given queue, in order to speed up printing (large
maps drawn from Arc/Info). After looking around in the documentation from
DU's standard print utilities, I could not find any information on how to
do this. Our plotters use parallel-to-ethernet print servers, and are
configured in /etc/printcap as remote (lpr) printers.

Any hint, experience, or suggestion of a product that can achieve this
would be appreciated. Thank you!
