TRUE64 SENDING JOBS 
I use this script in
 tru64 unix -Alpha
 servers to send jobs to
 all printers.
 
 #!/bin/ksh
 # this script is sending
 # the required printing
 # job to all printers
 # already configured in
 # your system,
 
 cat /etc/printcap|grep "|" |cut -f 1 -d "|" | while read line anything
 do
 echo " sending file $1 to printer $line "
 echo " lpr -P$line " $1
 sleep 1
 echo " to stop printing, press ctrl+c"
 clear
 lpr -P$line $1
 done
