Print a job to multiple printer of the same type
I need to print a high volume of copies (High Quality graphics brochure). The single printing job with multiple copies takes a long time. I am thinking of spreading the same print task to 3 or more printers to cut down the time. I do not want to send the print job to each of the 3 printer one at a time.
How can set up these 3 printers to receive a print job (High Quality graphics brochure) all at the same time. I may need to set up many more printer of the same brand and same model.
I am open to all possible suggestions,
I have a network enviroment as well running XP

print pooling requires that all printers use the same driver. This usually requires them to be the same exaclt model. Or at least extremely close
oops, he said they were the same model.. sorry guys
Print pooling means use one of the pooled printer for the job, the one that is free. The user want broadcast printing (the same job to multiple printers).
I was in hospital for some surgery, but the selected answer doesn't solve the problem as I stated in my second comment.
