Message:

Added the 'noprintingmaxdelay' directive to workaround printers
which don't conform to RFC3805.
Improved the reliability of SNMP and PJL hardware accounting.
PJL still needs some work though...

     1145# Sets the maximum number of seconds to wait for the printer 
     1146# being in 'printing' mode once the job has been sent to it. 
     1147# Once this delay is expired, PyKota will consider this job 
     1148# will never be printed, aborts the hardware accounting 
     1149# process, and uses the latest internal page counter value seen. 
     1150#  
     1151# Increasing this value, or setting it to 0, may help with some  
     1152# printers which don't conform to RFC3805. Problem reported on a  
     1153# Samsung ML2551n gave a way for clever students to bypass 
     1154# hardware accounting entirely by removing the paper from 
     1155# the paper tray before the job had begun to print, then 
     1156# waiting 60 seconds, and putting the paper back in the tray... 
     1157# 
     1158# IMPORTANT : always ensure that your printers' firmware is up 
     1159# to date. 
     1160# 
     1161# This directive can be set either globally or on a per printer 
     1162# basis.  
     1163# 
     1164# When not set, an hardcoded value of 60 seconds is used. 
     1165# When set to 0, PyKota will wait indefinitely until the 
     1166# printer switches to the 'printing' status.
