Can you say 'BUG' ?
It looks like is it in the latest version of LPRng as well.
Here is what happens. When the LPD server scans the queue it puts
the jobs in FIFO order. Apparently 'moved' jobs come at the END of
the list, rather than the start. I need to change the order so that
they come at the START of the list.
