Printing a job to 2 printers at the same time

[Shawn Badger]

It would be from a 3rd party app that would call the LPR command, so I
could use a script, but I will need to make the script look like a
printer to the system.
I am planning on using a hacking a copy of the cups-pdf driver to run
the script that would do as you stated.

Thanks for your help
