[Lots of reasons why not to expect a ^D to mean "printer is done with the job"]

Any suggestions?  Our spooler does need to know when the job terminates (if
nothing else, then to request the new page count in order to do
accounting).  Does it help to have the spooler strip ^D's out of output
sent to the printer?
