Automatically cancel problem print jobs

[angelb]

> We have about 50 printers in our office that use CUPS.  We have our default error policy set to 'abort-job'.  Sometimes there are print jobs that for whatever reason do not print, stay stuck in queue as 'processing', and prevent subsequent print jobs (in that queue) from printing.  Right now, our solution to this is to stop the printer, cancel the job, and restart the printer.  We would like it if CUPS could automatically cancel these problem jobs and let subsequent jobs through.  Any suggestions?  Thank you.

A simple script you setup to run in cron can do the job for you. If you
want, I can send you the script I used to do just that. You can use or
modify to fit your need.

Thanks,
