[cups.general] Probably silly Q, certainly a bit off topic :)

[Gene Heskett]

Greetings all;

I have a Brother HL2140 printer, a B&W laser, that is about 50x faster than 
any of the power miserly ink squirters are.  Unforch, it needs about a 
kilowatt to start it, and it idles at 150 watts or so just keeping the heaters 
ready.

I am reasonably familiar with the x10 stuff, and could probably use an 
appliance module to control its line power via heyu, which is already 
installed & running.

This printer is not normally installed in this room as it was bought to be 
used with my coco3 via some scripts I wrote that intercept jobs sent to /p on 
the coco3.

So my question then is:

Is there way to get a signal out of cups when _this_ printer has a job, that 
would tell heyu to turn it on?

There are other printer profiles here that should not send this trigger.

Thanks for any hints.

Cheers, Gene
