 Goal is to write replacement SafeQ using cups and samba
 
 For now, first goal is to support SafeQ terminal protocol so we can re-use devices not supported
-by vendor any more.
+by vendor any more. We are also annoyed by SafeQ "feature" which doesn't allow us to use scanning
+if Xerox runs out of toner. This is arbitrary limitation which cripples this setup for us.

+
+We have old Xerox WorkCentre 5225 and 7232 machines (from 2008) and getting active jobs or
+history is supported by web interface which is scraped and javascript variables inside
+used to display info.
+
+./xwc-jobs.pl 10.60.3.35               # list active jobs on Xerox WorkCentre 5225 by scraping web
+./xwc-jobs.pl 10.60.3.35 list
+
+./xwc-jobs.pl 10.60.3.35 hist  # list completed jobs
+
+Script produces tab delimited output, but if you want to format it nicely you can always use
+SEP enviroment variable to specify sparator and column to format it. This is included in
+xwc-jobs helper shell script which is useful for interactive use:
+
+dpavlin@t42:~/safeq$ ./xwc-jobs 10.60.3.35
+IP          id        Job Name   Owner       Status         Type     Quantity
+10.60.3.35  00015c2c  -          10.60.3.10  3:User Action  1:Print  0
+10.60.3.35  00015c2f  Test Page  root        3:User Action  1:Print  0
+10.60.3.35  00015c32  -          10.60.3.10  3:User Action  1:Print  0
+
+
+You can delete job using:
+
+dpavlin@t42:~/safeq$ curl -XPOST -d OPR=CANCEL -d JOBS=00015c32/ http://10.60.3.35/JOBCTRL.cmd
+
+or use d[elete] or c[ancel] aruguments and job id:
+
+dpavlin@t42:~/safeq$ ./xwc-jobs 10.60.3.35 d 00015c41
+10.60.3.35  00015c41  CANCEL  REQUEST: ACCEPTED
+
+
+When sending jobs via lpr to Xerox using ipp configured in cups we see -T as job name and -U as owner:
+
+dpavlin@t42:~/safeq$ ./xwc-jobs
+IP          id        Job Name  Owner  Status         Type     Quantity
+10.60.3.35  00015c47  lpr-T     lpr-U  3:User Action  1:Print  0
+
+When sending jobs directly to printer using rlpr we see different flags:
+
+dpavlin@t42:~/safeq$ rlpr -H 10.60.3.35 -U lpr-U -P XWC5225-5KatL -C lpr-C -J lpr-J -T lpr-T /usr/share/doc/printer-driver-foo2zjs/manual.pdf
