"...everyone has it..." Yeah, but...
It is my eventual goal to get my RSCS configuration down to LPR-only printers, (I have a few SNA connected remote line printers) since I can then run RSCS without license fees for IBM. If RSCS were to control all printing, even channel attached printers, will I ever be able to save that sizable chunk of cash?

OK. I was thinking RSCS would be the logical candidate, as it is a) already preinstalled so everyone has it, b) already has all the necessary multitasking support and c) already supports the concept of pseudolinks that do some programmatic function (the control interface for CP-driven printers could be implemented as pseudolinks for each CP-driven printer, and all the other logic is already there in RSCS to do the rest of the management). Minimal development time, and you need it anyway to drive non-CP/non-PSF printers.
