[cups.general] 4 second delay between jobs on Zebra

[Michael Sweet]

1.4.7 is the first release to not use SNMP for raw queues.  PPD queues have had "*cupsSNMPSupplies: False" for a while now...

I noticed that just going from 1.3.7 to 1.4.6, my 3 second delay was fine, but I also noticed that a handful of nodes going to the same printer were faster, but went from a 4 second delay to a 2 second delay.  I put a network sniffer on it and found that my test node, still sent 4 SNMP packets (raw driver) and I didn't get any from the other node.  I suspect it is blocking SNMP in the NAT / Firewall so I married it up to my dummy PPD and viola, prints fast.  Just trying to get a feel for will this be my limp along solution until 1.4.7 or will this be a perminant fixture to my implimentation.
