[cups.general] Disabling autodisabling of printers

[Jan Engelhardt]

Hi list,


just now I received word from the nagios watcher that one or more 
printer queues are in non-operational state. Reason for this, according 
to the cups error_log seems to be

E [30/Jan/2007:17:35:59 +0100] [Job 854] Unable to send print file to 
printer: No route to host

A ping on the printer's IP address gives no pongs, hence I presume 
someone turned it off already and later submitted a print job again. 
However, CUPS disables the queue when it's inactive like this (see 
above), which requires administrator intervention to enable the queue 
again.

Is it possible to configure the queue so that it does not automatically 
go to 'disabled' state just because the printer is not online?


Thanks,
Jan
