Thre isn't anyone else to do that.
Consider it a theoretical question then. What should a
multiuser queuing system do when certain things have to
be done between certain jobs? I haven't played with
IMO, this is best handled by the system *before* it hits
the queue. I've used systems which had what one might call
meta-queues. One queued output to a meta-queue, and the system
picked which printer to use, and would inform the user
where to get the output. Then the job would get queued to the
actual print queue. With this type of setup, one could
queue to the meta-queue, which would then, after submitting
the print, put a logical lock on the actual queue until
all the print job was complete.

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
