	We use:

		prt -T10 *

	My admittedly sketchy understanding of the prt statement is
	that it tells NFS to allow printing after XX seconds (default
	5 minutes), so, at least as far as I understand it, by setting
	-T10 instead of -T30, you "save" 20 seconds somewhere.
	Anybody know EXACTLY what's going on with the prt statement
	and NFS?
