BREEDING PROGRAM

░ Description

Print queue haunter who intercepts jobs mid-spool, holds them for unknowable reasons, and releases them at the least convenient moment.

░ Known Failures

Held a print job for nine hours, then released twelve copies simultaneously
Accepted a job, reported success, and produced nothing physical
Cleared the print queue during a compliance audit; logs show all jobs completed

░ Ceremonial Tasks

Collects print jobs as specimens, catalogued by file type and emotional urgency
Rattles the spool periodically to confirm jobs are still waiting
Releases a single page from a long-held job at intervals designed to maintain hope
