+# $3 destination host - machine that manages print queue
+# $4 devname - device name used by destination host or physical device file
+# $5 speed - for printers on serial ports
+# $6 class - describes printer, e.g., postscript vs pcl
+# $7 process - how to process file to produce printable output
+# $8 spooler - how to spool that output for printing
+# $9 stat - how to query device status
+# $10 kill - how to remove print jobs
