[cups] Automatically print job when printer becomes online

Hi!

I have an issue that I've tried to find the solution to online, but cannot
find any working approaches.

The case is that I have a Raspberry Pi running Raspian. Installed Cups to
act as a print server for my HP LaserJet P2055d printer. Works great,
except for one scenario:

I have a printer which is not always powered on. A common scenarion would
be to initiate a print while the printer is powered off, and then walk to
the printers location and power it on.

If I print while the printer is powered off - I need to manually go into
the job management section of the Cups web application and manually release
the job to the printer.

I would rather want the job to be printed automatically when the printer is
turned on. I've experimented with ErrorPolicy, but it does not seem to do
the trick.

Any ideas?

Best regards,
Ziggy99
