[cups] Error log not recording printer id

[Alex Wilson]

Hi,

 

I support several RedHat servers with different versions of cups.

 

System A, 

CUPS version:  cups-1.4.2-48.el6_3.1.i686

 

Error-log identifies the printer:

 

D [31/Mar/2016:09:39:54 +1100] [Job 5334786] job-sheets=none,none

D [31/Mar/2016:09:39:54 +1100] [Job 5334786] argv[0]="mainsps5"

D [31/Mar/2016:09:39:54 +1100] [Job 5334786] argv[1]="5334786"

 

System B,

Cups version:  cups-1.4.2-67.el6.x86_64

 

Error log not listing printer ID:

command status byte after 10 seconds!

W [31/Mar/2016:10:06:56 +1100] [Job 518222] Remote host did not respond with
command status byte after 10 seconds!

 

Both system cupsd.conf:  LogLevel warn

 

System B cupsd.conf has: LogDebugHistory 2-messages

 

What needs to be done to have the printer id recorded?
