There already is a sort of generic queueing system available. Take a look at MDQS. It's rather old code, but there are some good ideas there. Some years ago, I did a lot of hacking on this code to add more network transports (between queueing systems) to accomodate IBM and Unisys mainframes, support of ethernet attached printers (rather new at the time). A pay-for-printing capability was added too. Look on ftp://ni.umd.edu/dist for a recent (1995) version. It can also be used, for example, do a batch processing system with a service process that run shell scripts, rather than printing files. louie
