- 1 Day to day fire extinguishing.
- 1 Squash printer time out bug related to warming up on the 8150s
- 1 Do something(?) about the 8150s accepting connections when offline.
Causes a lot of trouble.
- 1 experiment to see how much printer initialization can be put in the
tftp boot file. (printer name, device type, console settings etc.)
- 1 Add time check to daily.
- 1 plp 4.0.3
- Need to open ethernet ports on solaris so that solaris can
drive printers. ???
- fix the lpq format
- redo the "opening failed" timeout
- find bug in lpd whereby it hangs if a df file is missing.
- Enable accounting for all printers
- Local account file format.
- ghostscript driven printers
- Apple 12\600ps (colour laserwriter) - may not be possible
- Rewrite the printer drivers
- So they'll compile on solaris
- To get rid of current nasty proceedure in the printer queues.
- Drivers to make connection to printers under 403. ???
- a ghostscript driver.
- combine: page count requests, banner pages and job into one job,
get the date on the banner correct and opens possiblity of
charging for the banner page.

the ghastly way it's being done.
- Suppress built in charging (which doesn't work)
- hide public appletalk laserwriters from Macs. (for accounting)
2 Squash a bug in the printer spooler queues having to do
with the handling of a job's EndPage. Hasn't caused a
problem yet but I don't know what I'm going to do about it
either.
2 redo movelogs (printing log files)
- look in lwlist to get machines and printers
- get page count daily instead of monthly
2 xntp - simplify, timed? (esp. IRIX)
2 maintain FAQ
2 Update daily
- Rotate cron logs.
- search in directory /usr/gnu/lib/emacs/lock
3 redo lpreset so that it actually works or eliminate it.
4 Modems
