Rocklyn & others,
A more extensive list of requirements from the discovery project's
Business Analysis Report should probably be provided. For example,
operations additionally needs to:
- restart an actively printing file
- change the number of copies of a queued file
- backspace a printer 'n' pages
- start printing file on page 'n'
- forwardspace printer 'n' pages
- query printer status
The requirements identified by the discovery team can be found in
the Business Analysis Report @
