If the server performs many non-printing-
related activities and few printing-related
activities, a small timeout (1 minute) is a
good estimate. If the server performs few
non-printing activities and few printing-related
activities, then longer timeout values are
better. If the server performs few non-
printing-related activities and many printing-
related activities, then larger timeout values
(10 minutes) are preferred. If the server
performs many non-printing-related activities
and many printing-related activities, smaller
timeout values are better.
