One kludge we have had to use here on Lexmark printers and the HP 8550 is to use SNMP to read the printer's front panel display to see if it says "Ready" (or "Warming up", etc.). This is because the SNMP status variables will say that the printer is idle before the page counter clicks.

Unfortunately this gets broken by PJL code which displays the job name on the front panel. So we remove the offending PJL code from the print job. Sigh.
