I think the opposite is also an important question: For someone who hasn't checked in at all, or for someone who checked in online but didn't print (I'm often in this latter camp too) can lobby agents override the computer and print BPs once it is less than 30 minutes before departure?
Some have suggested here before that the computer won't let them print a BP that close to departure time -- maybe they can add you to the standby list at best.
Not sure if the OP got a BP because the delay had already posted, or if the above is incorrect and that the agents can override with the right keystrokes...
