For local reasons I feel a need for two things, here, which I will
possibly write:-

  A way of injecting a prescription into the queue for printing;

  A way of printing an item from the queue and recording it has been
printed.


A prescription in this instance is a single item, but up to three items
can be fitted onto the same UK NHS prescription form (FP10) 
(http://www.defoam.net/writing/usability.fp10.html)


It occurs to me that separating these functions, and the formatting
information for an eventual paper form, from the business of picking an
item and then recording it is a common approach, and if I managed to
write anything useful it would be nice if it was re-usable.

I'll look forward to Horst's code.
