Non-blocking Print Queues

[Ka Lim]

Dear Aukjan,

Thanks for your information about BEH.  However, for the current configuration of my CUPS, it is possible that once the problem(s) of the queue is cleared (e.g. remove papar jam, add paper back to tray, or resolve network connection problem), the jobs queued in the server would be automatically sent back to the printer without user/admin intervention.  But it seems that BEH is just for tackling the above problem.  Or am I wrong about the perception of BEH?

Anyway, thanks for your kind information ^_^

However, I found that if one of the printers goes wrong (e.g. paper jam, go offline, network problem), all other print jobs would also be blocked in the cups spooler.  Is it possible to configure cups so that different print queues would be working independently?
