.Printing worked at this time but customer complained about the 
large timeouts (90 seconds) between jobs.  Called Mark G. to get 
information if the timeouts can be fixed and what they are caused 
by.  
.After the document is finished on the printer,  the queue shows 
it is still running for 90 seconds.  After this time the next 
document prints.  Creating new item CA7045.
