[cups.general] printer queue stops on print error

[William Bear]

I created a very basic bash script (in line) for cron to enable and 
disabled queues.  I hope there is a better way.

Thanks,

Will

#!/bin/sh
for i in $(lpstat -p|grep disabled|cut -d' ' -f2); do echo "Enabled $i"; /usr/bin/cupsenable $i; done
for i in $(lpstat -a|grep not|cut -d' ' -f1); do echo "Accepting $i"; /usr/sbin/cupsaccept $i; done
