Does anyone know the history of that "printer memory segment"
nomenclature?

That's true.  Generally doesn't have much to do with printers,  but a UV
process's private memory.   

Examples:
See POST.STATUS's 3rd column for phantoms.
unix "icps -map | grep 0xaceb".
See smat -p (aka ANALYZE.SHM -p)
Look up "printer memory segment" in UV docs.


Undoubtedly, there was a reason for calling it that way back when.
Was it originally only a spot where printer output was buffered?

Sounds like a question for David Meeks or Glen Herbert, answer to be
archived by historian Dawn Wolthuis.
