[cups.general] cups does not respect error policy

[Jan.Dreyer at bertelsmann.de]

Hi Johannes

Thanks for your explanations. Here the requested information:

---
# find /etc/cups | xargs grep -i ErrorPolicy
/etc/cups/printers.conf.O:ErrorPolicy stop-printer
/etc/cups/printers.conf.O:ErrorPolicy stop-printer
/etc/cups/printers.conf.O:ErrorPolicy stop-printer
/etc/cups/printers.conf:ErrorPolicy stop-printer
/etc/cups/printers.conf:ErrorPolicy stop-printer
/etc/cups/printers.conf:ErrorPolicy stop-printer
---

---
# grep -i '^DeviceURI' /etc/cups/printers.conf
DeviceURI lpd://bd-p30254.mydomain.net/LPT1
DeviceURI unc://localhost/
DeviceURI socket://bd-p30254.mydomain.net
---

Of course I already studied the documentation. I didn't know about the "nutshell" document though.

I also didn't try yast for configuring the cup services. I will give it a try now, maybe SuSE has made some modifications that prevented my changes to load. Will keep this list informed.

I do not remember any such issue report from any user,
therefore I assume it is no bug in CUPS.

What does
# find /etc/cups | xargs grep -i ErrorPolicy
result?

What does
# grep -i '^DeviceURI' /etc/cups/printers.conf
result?

The ErrorPolicy in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf specifies only the
default ErrorPolicy when there is no ErrorPolicy setting
in /etc/cups/printers.conf see
http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/doc-1.3/ref-cupsd-conf.html
versus
http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/doc-1.3/ref-printers-conf.html

Regarding changing CUPS config files manually,
see "Command-line Tools" at
