Seems like the simplest thing might be to create the output as a spoolfile
to one of the print targets, except ensure that it's deferred.  Then use
the SPOOLF;PRINT;DEV= command to duplicate it to the other printer(s) and
undefer them all.  (I think the deferred status of the original will
propagate to the copies, but I'm not sure at this point.)
