Subject: CUPS: howto avoid that CUPS disable LPD printer If I send a job to a LPD printer (lpd://printServ/port1) and if the printer is off, after a lot of minutes CUPS disable the printer. When I turn on the printer CUPS not re-enabled it and I must run as root /usr/bin/enabled printname or use http://localhost:631/printers Is possible to avoid the "disable feature" :-( ? Put the option -o timeout=10000 in /etc/cups/lpoptions Or in the command lp -o timeout=10000 -d yourprinter My experience is that cups waits for 500 sec before to put the printer off-line Or I want install a cron job witch every 5 minutes check if the printer is disabled and re-enabled it? Many thanks. -- Dario Lesca <d.lesca@xxxxxxxxxx>
