[cups] adding delay between print job.

Change the deviceURI to
socket://129:1.1.10?waiteof=true <socket://129:1.1.10?waiteof=true>

If that does not solve the problem (it should be the default as shown by the sources),
write a little filter (here a Perl script):

—— snip ——
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
# modify the following as for your needs
$wait_at_endofjob = 5;		# wait time in seconds
sleep $wait_at_endofjob;
—— snip ——

put it into /usr/lib/cups/filter/wait

and insert into the printer’s PPD near the "*ColorDevice“ keyword
the line
*cupsFilter: "application/vnd.cups-postscript  0  wait“

and restart cups.

Let me know which of the suggestions works.
