hi,

on the roadmap i've seen you want to improve the SNMP functions of cups.

i've an other feature request:

i'm using some big printers with harddisk (xerox in my case, but there are
also printer from e.g. hp, canon etc with this function).
if i send an e.g. 10 printjobs to the mashine all of the are store in the
mashine and they are finished for cups.

if i now have a problem with the printer, i don't know (from the cups)
which has not been printed yet and i cannot move the jobs to an other
printer.

so it would be usefull, if cups would make a SNMP-check on the printer, of
the printer is ready to print (no paper jam, or other jobs to perferm)
before cups is sending the job to the printer.

what do you think about this?

regards,
johannes
