Why not?
Off-topic, I know. But it seems to me that most people (or at least
many people, at the Univ. of Oslo) consider print services to be a
real-time thing. They print, and plod over to the printer. If the
job is not there, well, it must have been eaten somewhere, better
go back and print again. Etc. etc. ad nauseaum.
I don't know how many times I've cleared a stuck print queue for
identical copies of the same job. I've played with the thought of
having a per printer configurable max lifetime in the queue -- if the
job has not been printed within 10 minutes, ditch it. Though luck!
(As we don't use lprng for spooling, this is really off-topic!)
