My experience indicates that the delay between print jobs is primarily determined by the pagecount_poll* and pagecount_interval settings. No amount of tweaking of other parameters will have any effect on it. For example, Ashley's settings will probably give her a ~30-second delay for very small jobs. The jobs themselves eat up some of the delay. The idea is to _choose_ the settings that yield the amount of delay that gets "eaten up" by the largest jobs. At our site, we use: pagecount_poll_start = 0 pagecount_poll_end = 10 pagecount_interval = 1 For the type of printers that we have, this works well for all the jobs that I cared to test, and gives a delay of only 10 seconds for very small jobs, which I can live with. (At least my users can live with.)
