      1. Test on MCC

Note:     (It is possible SCP will fail, if for instance got too many printers in PRNTCTL_INIT.FOR, or if someone else had modified some DSPSHR code.)

SLCCOM:SETUP_PRINT.COM

One task that may not be on your list when adding/deleting SCP printers is the file SLCCOM:SETUP_PRINT.COM.

This file includes a list of all SCP printers (and their panel button names) that should be updated.

I've made this change now for the two printers you recently removed.

I made some other checks to see that the queues listed in PRNTCTL_INIT.FOR, PRNTCTL*.PNL, SETUP_PRINT.COM, SETUP_PRINT_LISTS.COM are consistent.  I found a few inconsistencies from long ago, and corrected them:

        added E163L0G to SETUP_PRINT_LIST.COM

        added E164LOG to SETUP_PRINT_LIST.COM

        added E164LOG to PRNTCTL.PNL

Some of these (and other) LOG queues may be obsolete, but that is another issue (let sleeping dogs lie?).
