Hi all,
we are using CUPS 1.3.11 on a Collax Business Server to manage printing.
To check check wether the printer status we want to use lpstat.
I guess lpstat -p should report the printer status, but on our systems it shows ever "idle", but not if there is a "paper jam" or "medi tray empty" error.
Can this be checked by lpstat or an other CUPS included tool??
BTW: We have no possibility to upgrade CUPS, because it is a special commerial Distribution.
Thanks in advance
Alex
