Surely it is possible to set up afacility that prints your PDFs to different
printers according to certain properties of the respective PDFs. But this is
a task highly special to your needs (may be it is necessary to read out
parts of the PDFs to determine the destination printer), so I think it is a
task that is far beyond "public domain help" and rather subject to an
individual contract for a fee.
