[net.unix] Modifying 4.2 Line Printer Spooler Software

marc@aplvax.UUCP (Marcus H. Gates) (12/17/85)

   I am about to add somes bells and whistles to the 4.2 Line Printer
Queue and before I re-invent the wheel thought it would be a good
idea to see if anyone had already done something similar. I am 
familiar with MDQS and would rather just modify the 4.2 stuff if
possible. Some of the changes I am interested in are priorities and a 
screen-oriented lpc command (and anything else you might have already done).
Please send any replies to me and I will post the results if
enough replies are received. Thanks.

   I originally posted this to net.wanted.sources but got very few replies
only 1 or 2 of which mentioned some changes that had beem made elsewhere.
The modifications that I received mention of were for better accounting,
quotas and printing of time that a job was queued. Thanks to all who replied
to my original request, hopefully this aticl will reach a wider audience.
