Well, I am aware of what a queue in theoretical computer science is. However, in real printign queues, one should be able to perform non-queue operations on jobs, like moving items to the top (which is possible and works in lprng) and removing a job from inside the queue (which also works) and moving job from one queue to another (which does not work... it waits until the job has proceeded to the top of the queue, then moving it to another queue, making the move command useless for moving a job from a congested queue to a less congested queue)
I am not sure if this is by design or a bug or has to do with me using a filter... but filters are pretty common, so that shouldn't affect the queue-managament?
