Interestingly, sometimes the file is printed somewhat later. At one
place I worked, the secretaries complained that the get messages
telling them the print job was done (I forget exactly what and how).
They said that they would go to the printer and the output wasn't
there yet. (They were using ALLIN1 with WordPerfect). So it took a
while sometimes before the printer was done (other jobs in the way -
printer being slow - etc.). I tried to explain it to them, but they
were understandably annoyed. Oh well.
