I had retry with this syntax:

And i have an error:

copieur-k2 "/u01/logiciels/CUPS/lib/cups/backend/beh failed"
	Description : copieur-k2

Well, this configuration works fine (but it's good only for software accounting, no?):

cupspykota://beh:/1/5/60/socket://copieur-a-etage.priv.enst-bretagne.fr:9100/

Before post my question, i find this parameter of pykota.
But i believed it's not change the exit code.....

After read you, i try with
onbackenderror : retry:0:300

==> fine, no error....  but i would prefer to submit only 3 ou 5 times the job to the printer.

I try with
onbackenderror : retry:3:30,nocharge

===> printer disabled......


Well, i can do a cancel of the job by script on timeout, but....


My version of cups: 1.3.8

version of pykota: pykota-1.26_official
