Script to alert you when printing is done

At work I’m doing a bunch of printing of some large documents.  I wanted a way of being notified when it was done printing.  The action to take is up to you, I’m using curl to load a python CGI on a server to send an email/SMS to my phone. If you want to watch your non-default printer – just use the -P flag to lpq.

#!/bin/bash
LPQSTAT=lpq | head -1 | awk '{ print $NF }'
while [ $LPQSTAT = 'printing' ];do
 echo $LPQSTAT
 sleep 5
 LPQSTAT=lpq | head -1 | awk '{ print $NF }'
 done
curl ....
exit 0
