> I use CUPS V1.1.21rc1 on a Debian woody system. I am printing from a W2K with the Adobe PS-Driver via LPR to the Cups-Machine.
> The W2K is printing about 20 entries from its print-queue to cups and then PAUSES for about 2-3 minutes.
> Then it continues to send.
> I cant see any error messages on Windows or in Cups.

> Now a fatal behaviour occured: The max no. of print jobs seems to be set at 500 by default in cupsd.conf. The following message in the cups error-log:
>  print_job: too many jobs - 500 jobs, max jobs is 500.

> But why the jobs are thrown away instead of simply not accepting them? So they get lost.
