You could automate a SNDNETSPLF of the report/s to the user's (or
multiple users) id, or you could set up dummy users with same names as
the printers (naming a printer/output queue in the user profile) and
SNDNETSPLF to the printers 'userid'.
Of course you will need SNADS, directory entries and distribution queues
configured for this.
