I want to set up queues for a couple of simple plotters, and need
a "dumb" print symbiont that really doesn't mess with the data in
a file at all.  It should simply:  take plot files off a queue,
copy them to the dedicated (set spooled) device over a terminal line.

Looks like I can't quite get what I need simply by cooking up a
modified print symbiont using the PSM routines, so I'd have to
build my own symbiont using the SMB stuff.

While that'd probably be an interesting little project, I dislike
re-inventing things.  Anyone out there have such a symbiont that
I could have a copy of?   Failing that, any helpful hints to get
me started?
