Speed up concurrent printing - Single thread?

I realised that when multiple users do print concurrently, print distributor will process the first request and follow up by next print request (Single thread)... if the first users sent 1000 pages to print, the 2nd users have to wait 1000 pages to be completed. To speed up the printing process, instead of create only 1 virtual printer to share among all users, can I create multiple virtual printers? would this help to speed up the printing process? Any suggestion will be helpful to me.

P/S: 2 different physical printer is choose by 2 users.

Thanks.

Wiserly,

No, the print jobs will still get routed through the same single thread. Print Distributor only ever processes a single job at a time.
