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 all.

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 all.

modify:remove:Printers
	You are expected to enter the name(s) of a printer to be removed
	from this class.  Separate multiple names with a comma.
	
	You may remove all of the printers from this class by entering all.

remove:F1:Remove Classes
	You are expected to enter the name of the class you want to remove.
	Separate multiple names with a comma.
	
	You may remove all of the classes by entering all.
