[cups] How eliminate or remove incorrect constant "Printer out of paper" message? (Possible to DISABLE certain messages?)

[Christian Seberino]

Michael

Hello.  You kindly chatted with me last month about a "Printer out of
paper" CUPS error message I was getting on my 2 printers at work that never
went away.  I wondered if I could ask you one last question about that.

I tried multiple printer drivers for these 2 printers including the generic
Postscript driver and the problem persisted.  Does that mean there is just
something special about these Xerox printers that doesn't play nice with
CUPS that no printer driver will fix?

When you suggested the solution must lie in the printer driver, were you
suggesting someone would literally need to write a printer driver that kept
resetting the state information or something as blunt and crude as that to
fix this darn stubborn printers?  Is that what it would take?

If you had any other ideas or had some guidance on how to debug these
drivers I'd be happy to do some grunt work for you to investigate.  Maybe I
could help you somehow.

Sincerely,

Chris
