Yes. Just make sure that each print queue is implemented with a seperate spool subdirectory, and that all the printcap entries point to the same device. I.e.

printer1:lp=/dev/lp0:sd=/var/spool/lpd/printer1:if=/usr/share/printfilter:

printer2:lp=/dev/lp0:sd=/var/spool/lpd/printer2:if=/usr/share/printfilter:

printer3:lp=/dev/lp0:sd=/var/spool/lpd/printer3:if=/usr/share/printfilter:
