Question printing to mulitple printers

I want to send a single report from my application to mulitple printers with one command.
I tried using a synomym and assigning it to different printers, but it stops when it finds the first hit.

Has anyone done this at the unix level through printcap?

See printers(4) and printers.conf(4) for information about the printer configuration databases. lpget displays a configuration report for all keys for the specified destination or destinations by default. Use the -k option to display a configuration report for specific keys. Use the list operand to display a configuration report for all configured destinations. OPTIONS
The following option is supported: -k key Displays a configuration report for key. See printers.conf(4) for information about specifying key. OPERANDS
The following operands are supported: destination Displays a configuration report for destination. Destination can be either a printer of a class of printers. See lpad- min(1M). Specify destination using atomic or POSIX-style (server:destination) names. See printers.conf(4) for information regarding the naming conventions for atomic names and standards(5) for information concerning POSIX. list Displays a configuration report for all configured destinations.

Be mindful of the following if the LDAP database is used as the name service. If the ldapclient(1M) server is a replica LDAP server, LDAP printer database updates may not appear immediately, as the replica server may not not have been updated by the master server and can be out of sync. For example, a printer that you deleted by using lpset(1M) may still appear in the printer list you display with lpget until the replica is updated from the master. Replica servers vary as to how often they are updated from the master. Refer to the for more information on LDAP replication. SunOS 5.11 23 May 2003 lpget(1M)
