What I have is CUPS on my laptop using CUPS on the printserver for it's queue. I doesn't appear to keep any internal queue or settings on the printer, as well as showing me the print queue for the entire network on my laptop. > From my experience, no notification is sent back to the local > workstation when the job gets completed in the remote print spool. > There is an internet draft for a notification extension to the IPP > protocol that would provide a way to do this, but I don't believe CUPS > implements it yet. Since I have access to the entire queue, my laptop knows when the queue becomes empty, though I feel this is from polling. --d -- http://davyd.ucc.asn.au/ PGP Fingerprint <http://davyd.ucc.asn.au/pgp> 08B0 341A 0B9B 08BB 2118 C060 2EDD BB4F 5191 6CDA
