Hi,
We have a Xerox 4400 which has the "feature" that it spontaneously reboots every
20 minutes or so. I know it is a feature because I have seen two of them do it!
When this happens it leaves any job on the queue permanently "processing". I can
clear it by hand by doing " hold job" followed by "restart job", however if cups
could automatically detect this, and do what I do by hand then it would be much
better. By the way I have set the BrowseTimeout to a very large value
BrowseTimeout 172800
On the other hand if anyone knows how to fix this "feature" then that would be
even better!
All help gratefully received,
Alex Finch
