Is it possible to print a single file to two separate printer queues with one
VMS command?

One-line questions are exceedingly difficult for the OpenVMS Wizard.
Background and additional details can help clarify the particular local
requirements and the local environment, and can thus allow the OpenVMS
Wizard to tailor the answer.

There are any number of ways to accomplish this printing task, ranging
from a DCL command procedure comprised of two PRINT commands, to a
modified print or server symbiont, to an LPR/LPR passthrough, to tools
which stop and restart and reassign and otherwise manage a set of print
queues, to hardware solutions which provide replicated output either by
printers operating in parallel or printers loaded with multi-part form
stock.
