- The timeout for the printer is 30 sec I think, If the HP takes longer
- than that to process what it has got before it comes back for more, then
- you will get the requexter. There was a lot of patching on the earlier
- drivers to alter this time. Maybe there is a hook now for this, all you
- need is the key :-)

- Try "run copy ...", and _multitask_ :-)
