First, I'm new to cups. I searched through the FAQ and Forum, with various keywords, but haven't seen my problem.
We just loaded a new file/print server using SuSE Enterprise 10, with cups-1.1.23-40.6 and share the printers via samba-3.0.22-13.18. The problem is this. The queue on a printer will jam. When the queue is jammed, I'll use lpc status printername and get this:
printer is on device 'lpd' speed -1
queuing is enabled
printing is disabled
XX entries
daemon present
I'll then run /usr/bin/enable printername to enable printing, at which point the jobs usually start printing again.
So far this problem has only occured on two printers. A Xerox Phaser 8200 and an HP 5SI Mopier. All our printers are setup as LPD queues and we don't do local filtering.
Here's our print config from smb.conf
[global]
printing = cups
printcap name = cups
printcap cache time = 750
cups options = raw
use client driver = Yes
[printers]
path = /var/tmp
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
printable = Yes
browseable = Yes
anyone have any ideas as to whats going on? let me know if you need more information.
