- Isn't this a rather narrow subject for a POSIX standard... not to mention
- being pretty much covered by two completely irreconcilable models (BSD
- and System V).
-
- You're going to have to dump BSD spooling, dump System V spooling, or
- dump both and create something out of whole cloth. If it's the latter,
- why not create a generalised batch queueing and scheduling system that
- just happens to include printing?
-
- I assume 7b is where all the interesting stuff is going to be.
