Re: lpr: order of print requests

[Warner Losh]

LPR queues up the reuqests and prints them in order smallest to
largest to reduce the average wait time for a job at the expense of
having a larger standard deviation in the wait times for jobs.  Maybe
this is what you are running into.  I don't know if there's a way to
disable this behavior or not.  At least that's what I recall lpd doing
years ago when I ran a unix lab in school.  I didn't go check the code
to see if it still did that or not.
