We tried that also, however, then you have problems if printerjobs 
are cancelled halfway.

Also, the "sanity" check works against accepting print jobs that 
will cause the the printer to print endless pages with strange 
characters untill it runs out of paper or the job is cancelled. We 
had a lot of those because of misconfigured windows machines.
