In my department we have 2 laser printers sitting side by side.  Does
anyone have any modifications to lpd (SunOS 4.0 and 3.4) to allow
it to drive 2 printers from the same queue, or alternately have
lpr chose the shortest queue?   Also, it would be nice if small
jobs got to jump in line ahead of the massive ones.  Any help will
be appreciated.
