Hi,

I have a question about the time of a print job.  These are the relevant 
entries from the logfiles:

error_log.O:I [03/Jul/2014:14:38:31 -0100] [Job 199080] Adding start banner 
page "none".
error_log.O:I [03/Jul/2014:14:38:31 -0100] [Job 199080] Queued on "IJ52AR002" 
by "oracle".
<snip>
error_log.O:I [03/Jul/2014:14:38:31 -0100] [Job 199080] Connecting to 
printer...
error_log.O:D [03/Jul/2014:14:38:44 -0100] [Job 199080] STATE: -connecting-to-
device
<snip>
error_log.O:D [03/Jul/2014:14:38:49 -0100] [Job 199080] Unloading...

page_log:IJ52AR002 199080 oracle [03/Jul/2014:14:38:48 -0100] 1 1 - localhost 
IJ52SARINA - - 200 GET


Why is a there a 13 second gap between 'Connecting to printer' and ' STATE: -
connecting-to-device'?  Is this the time needed to bring up the TCP/IP 
connection from cups to the printer?
The printer is in a remote office connected by a branch office VPN.

When the job says 'Unloading', is that the time that the print file is spooled 
in the printer?  Or is that the time that the file is printed?
