At some point in my accounting scripts, I send a print job for users who
are out of quota that has this message on it and instructions to resolve
it. I send it lpr -Y to make sure that this job does not get held as well
as the job they tried to send (it'd do no good if they never saw it).
However, ifhp then does not update the LED.

How can I, in perl, send a message to the printer such that it will change
its LED to read something like "USER novosirj OUT OF QUOTA" or something
like this? I'm not really sure of the proper way to open the line of
communcation in perl to do this, nor what PJL commands to send to it. Can
anyone help me out, 'cuz someone probably already knows, rather than
having me RTFM a lot?

Thanks!
