Okay, here's my newer version of the code, which takes into

That may not seem like much of an issue when you're printing
10-Kbyte files, but when you're throwing around 200-Meg files
(for color plotters, for instance), then it can be very nice.

I noticed problem-report bin/9362, which reported that the
'lpc start' command no longer works. (it claims to start
the queue, but it doesn't actually start it).
I came up with a two or three line fix for that bug, and
sent it in as problem-report bin/13549. This patch should

enough copies of a FreeBSD-based version. If you would buy
such a product, then let them know. Check www.vmwa
