There is a fix for that...it is originally from the Lexmark 4039
series, but it still works on the Optra S 1650 machines that we
have (and should work on the rest of the optra line). Just send
this little chunk of postscript to the printer once:
-----------snip----------
%! Postscript to set the 4039 printer into synchronous mode
serverdict begin 0 exitserver
statusdict begin true setenginesync end
-----------snip----------
Basically, it causes the printer to wait until it is finished
printing before actually reporting that it is done. I've got 3
Optra S printers running with ifhp right now with no extra options
(just defaults).
