handling. Get it here:

Now everytime I start a print-job (doesn't matter if it is started locally or via the network) while the printer is turned off, the cups-system sets the printer to "disabled" and I have to go to the configuration of the cups-printers and manually start the printer again. I would rather like the printing-system to automatically queue jobs and print them all as soon as the printer is turned on again.
