Then you will be tricked that he job is done, even though it will complete after the jam has been fixed?

So basically you will then wait forever or timeout and when you check again at start of next job, you will now really know if the printer is still printing the old job?

PP> PP> If you need to get 'offline status' then SNMP is your only hope. So what you are saying is, that if the printer goes offline due to out of paper or toner then there is no way to know this? Then you will in reality be fooled to think the job is done/complete and you will get a false impression count? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- YOU MUST BE A LIST MEMBER IN ORDER TO POST TO THE LPRNG MAILING LIST The address you post from MUST be your subscription address If you need help, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or lprng-requests or lprng-digest-requests) with the word 'help' in the body.
