Background printing for Print Organizer

Print Organizer should have an option for background printing.

It is inconvenient at best to send a set of sheets to print, and to be unable to work until they are done printing. Depending on what I have to send, I could be sitting idle for an hour or more. This cuts drastically into production time, especially around submittals. where I have a lot of files to put final revisions on, and a lot of files to print. The fact that I cannot work on some files while printing others gets in the way of my productivity.

I can understand why I cannot run print organizer on my active/working file. But there are hundreds of other sheets I could be printing while I finish this one.

We already know that Print Organizer runs its own shadow session of MicroStation, as evidenced by the issue with command line switches. Why can that not be separated more from the active session so that it can be an independent background process?
