What I understand (see above), is that the printer has to be idle for 5 seconds before it being trusted to really be idle. I think chances that a job arrives before the printer being considered idle during these 5 seconds is great. Or does it make the next job wait so that there's never two jobs in the printer at the same time ? In this case doesn't this slow down printing a bit ? Not that I don't think this is a good idea, I just wonder what happens. bye, Jerome Alet -- "A non-free program is a predatory social system that keeps people in a state of domination and division, and uses the spoils to dominate more." - RMS ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
