We have a problem with laser printers.  Because of the low throughput of a
postscript laser printers (6-8 pages) we need more than one printer to
handle our print requests. But to get maximum throughput all laser
printers should be served by one queue.  E.g.

  -----  lp-queue  ---------
  Sun   -------->  Printer 1
  -----	    |	   ---------
            |
            |--->  Printer 2
            |
            |--->  Printer 3

Now you can print 3 jobs in parallel.  How can this be done on a sun ? Is
there any (public domain) software which can do this ?
