Dave and all....
I think that the only iffy, item on your lists is deleting a file being
printed. I think to do that you need to stop/disable the printer first.
held or waiting files can be removed without a problem, but once the
printer or the preprocessing for print has started, there are more steps to
be done before deletion.
There are a few more comments down below...I stopped and reread this a
second time......

(logical destination...........not queue...there should for the first set
of production printing only be 1 queue, but multiple logical
destinations) And again you need to be very careful about this.....the
line printer files that will be sent for use with the afp
resources...(think flash forms) shouldn't be moved to a passthrough
postscript printer. So we may want to be careful about this one.

I think this one can work, but would require training and coordination of
efforts, so that blt/hd doesn't stop a printer to delete a file and the ops
just see printer stop and restart it .....endless cycle and frustration.
