    This question came up during the last concall. I did not have the
    opportunity to raise the question at the CIM Core WG meeting last week.
    However, in researching the classes to put the question into an email, I
    found that the answer is pretty clear.

    CIM_JobQueue contains several properties that are not appropriate to
    CIM_PrintQueue, e.g., MaxTimeOnQueue, MaxJobsOnQueue, and MaxJobCPUTime.
    Even ignoring the question of whether one can inherit from an
    experimental class, I do not think we want to clutter CIM_PrintQueue
    with such properties. Analogous ones, maybe, but that's an item for
    Phase 3.

    I propose that we drop the idea of changing the inheritance of
    CIM_PrintQueue.
