Hi, I've got HP 2200dse printer with an auto-feeder to an automatic stapler which connects via the serial port. You pretty much send it a start command at 9600 bps to grab the batch of paper, jog it so the corner lines up, and fire the staple. I've written a shell script to do that.
So I'm wondering how I can keep queuing new jobs but stop them and run this script between them. Actually, there's a little more than that -- I need to know when the printer has __ejected__ all the paper in the job, not just sent all the data. I gotta see if I can poll that offa my HP. My first approach was to set up 2 queues - one that allows queuing, the other that will only queue one at a time and leave printing on. How can this be done 'properly'?
