Default How can I select a printer in AIX?

As you can see from my question I know nothing about AIX, so I
apologize if I'm asking in the wrong group.

We have a proprietary Progress database running on a AIX server. This
program prints a coupon to a thermal coupon printer. The format of the
coupon is fixed, all coupons have the same layout.

We would like to be able to direct the output of a certain coupon to a
different printer so that we can print on a different size stock.

Since the program is proprietary we do not have the ability to change
the format of the ticket. We can send strings before and after the
coupon as necessary.

Is there a way to direct the output to a different printer based upon
some type of coding within a coupon?

Thanks,
Mark S.
