ABSTRACT:Manage Classes of Related Printers
	The classes menu gives you several tasks for: adding new
	classes; displaying the classes currently defined; modifying
	the list of associated printers in a class; and removing
	classes from the system.

	Classes allow printers with similar capabilities or physical
	locations to be grouped together.  A request for printing may
	be submitted to a class, in which case the request will be
	printed on the first available printer in that class.  The
	definitions of classes are numerous, including, but not
	limited to: all printers on this floor, all of a certain type
	of laser printer, all non-impact printers, or all printers
	that may support a certain form.  Naturally, a printer may
	appear in more than one class.

	Classes may also be placed in a reject or accept state like
	printers, but the enabling and disabling of classes is not
	possible.

menu:L1:Add a New Class
	You use the add task to create new classes and to add
	printers to existing classes.  When you first create a class
	it will be necessary to use the accept task to allow it to
	accept print requests.

	The order in which you add printers to a class is
	significant.  When the Line Printer Service processes a print
	request queued for a class, it will be printed on the first
	available printer in that class.  What this means is that the
	first printer added to a class will take the brunt of the
	work.  For this reason it may be desirable to periodically
	use the remove task to remove the first printer in a class
	then put it back with the add task.  This will tend to
	distribute the wear over all the printers in the class.
	However, if your printers are usually busy this probably will
	not be a problem.

menu:L2:List Printers in Classes
	You use the list task to examine the configuration of one or
	more classes.  You may want to do this, for instance, if you
	suspect a configuration mistake is causing a problem.

	This task will show you the class requested and the printers
	that make up that class.

menu:L3:Modify the Membership of a Class
	You use the modify task to change the printers in a class.
	After specifying a class, you may add printers to it or
	remove printers from it.

menu:L4:Remove Classes
	You use the remove task to remove a class from the Line
	Printer Service.  You may want to do this if a class is being
	broken up into smaller groups of printers.

add:F1:New class
	You are expected to enter the name of the class you want to
	create.  A class name may consist of letters, digits and
	underscores.

add:F2:Printers
	You are expected to enter the name(s) of a printer to be
	added to this class.  Separate multiple names with a comma.

	You may add all of the printers to this class by entering

list:F1:Classes
	You are expected to enter the name of the class you would
	like to know about.  Separate multiple names with a comma.

	Enter all to get information about all of the classes.

modify:F1:Class Name
	You are expected to enter the name of the class you want to
	modify.  A class name may consist of letters, digits and
	underscores.

modify:F2:Add or remove printers
	Press CHOICES and select add to add printers to the specified
	class or select remove to remove printers from the specified
	class.

	Another form will be displayed to allow you to enter the
	names of the printers that you want to add or remove.

modify:add:Printers
	You are expected to enter the name(s) of a printer to be
	added to this class.  Separate multiple names with a comma.

	You may add all of the printers to this class by entering

	You are expected to enter the name(s) of a printer to be
	removed from this class.  Separate multiple names with a
