                     18: #             of copies.  Otherwise, the despooler will only send the data
                     19: #             once and the backend is expected to send X copies to the
                     20: #             device from its one copy of the request.  In either case, the

                     30: #             printer.  The default backend is simply the "cat" command.

                     41: # longlife    consideration, since the data simply flows to the printer and
                     42: #             is then gone.  There are four classes or request longevities:
