I have now written a little script that looks for entries
in "Starting" status and stop/starts the queue it's on.
Until we'll find a *real* solution...

It seems as it all worked OK until a reboot early this week,
maybe some manualy set logical was lost, or anything like that.

Printouts from other sources (like pure PC-printouts) prints
OK on the same printers, but the entry on VMS is still in
"Starting" status.
