A DOS attack is so easy

Hi everybody:

I dont know if is a bug or intentional. But everytime that one file is rejected ALL printer jobs will stop.

So everyone that print a file (corrupted or dont) can let all company without printing. If this is intentional is very easy to do.

There are any way to configure, so any rejected job, is simple discarded or retained. Leting clean the printer for new jobs?

Is really ugly go to enable printers, every rejected file. If you dont have root permisions is worst. Including having root account the need of relog, sudo or etc is not nice.

Cups is a great job. Thanks in advance.
