I`m looking for an alternative print spooler, that can handle forms.
It should be possible to tell the print daemon that a specific
form is mounted on a printer and he only selects such print jobs
from the queue which has a corresponding form parameter given
submitting the job.

Or is there a way to handle this with existing spool systems
(lpr, plp, lprng)?

Thanks in advance.
so I can say, on a printer the form F0 is mounted and only those
spool jobs with form parameter F0 are printed.
