printer config

AIX 5.3.3 , I have a queue and 2 printers are configured .. When I issue a print it prints only on one printer ..This is correct as one goes down other will take over...But I want it to print on both the printers .. Two printers are in different location and I need 2 copies , each on these printers..

Is it possible to make any changes in the settings to get this done ?

As far as i know there is no "pre-made" way and you will have to do some scripting to achieve this. You could create two different print queues (one for each printer) and create a script mechanism to duplicate print jobs from one queue to the other.

A probably promising place to start investigating is the queue backend called "rembak", which is a shell script.

I hope this helps.
