Better yet, post it, preferably to comp.sources.unix or comp.sources.misc.
I'm sure it would be of considerable general interest.

Likely to be useful nonetheless.  Maybe you could post this version to
alt.sources if you don't consider it worth archiving.

mdqs (multiple device queueing system) can do this.  With it you can
have M queues feeding N printers where M and N >= 1.  You can get it
via anonymous ftp from vgr.brl.mil; it's in the directory arch.
