Good idea, bad implementation.

You should have two input queues which both bounce jobs to a single 
output queue.

You should _never_ have more than one queue actually sending jobs to a 
printer.

We experienced no starvation, or blocking jobs, the syncro between the queues is done automagically by ifhp.
Maybe our print volume are not so strong (100.000 pages either duplex/simplex per printer) for a test, but we are happy 
( for now...)
