[cups] Setting to keep jobs forever until printed?

It says,"The printer is not responding", many times before eventually 
failing with, "Canceling stuck job after 10800 seconds". Which would be 
three hours, the default. But cupsctl shows "MaxJobTime=12w". I tried 
setting MaxJobTime to 0 to see what happens and I will let you know.... 
in three hours. But the 12w value should work according to the manual, 
so I'm not sure why the directive is being ignored.
