Date: 20 Aug 1994 14:25:30 GMT Organization: Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio (USA) Lines: 19 Message-ID: <3353or$320@usenet.INS.CWRU.Edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: kanga.ins.cwru.edu Hallo, can anybody tell me if there is a ROBUST possibility in the BSD printer spooling system to achieve that the printer queue is reorderd according to every new request arriving, so that large jobs are printed after short ones (at least mostly). Yes - I know the lpc topq command - but found, that sometimes printer jos are lost. Any help or hints are welcome, Andreas PS. I asked this on comp.periphs.printers before, but got no answers :-( -- Andreas Priebe Potsdam/Germany Phone: +49 331 762 320
