[Edy]

HI,
I face some problem too, several printers in cups list sometime became stop
itself and need manually to start it again.

there is a way how to prevent this printer stop, may be someone can help
give the way how to add some script in cups to automatically start printer
when it status stop or maybe luciano can give the example script that put in
the cron :)

Thanks and Regards,
Ed
