Dear Maintainer as I found out meanwhile the problem is related to the default cups error policy, which is "stop-printer".
This state survives a reboot and may cause a lot of trouble to unexperienced users. In my country electricity is expensive and people usually turn off unneeded devices. If some users sends a job to such a printer cups enters the "stop- printer" state by default and the user might get very confused. To me this is a serious usability problem. Please make the "stop-printer" state local to a cups daemon session or change the default to "abort-job". Please feel free the close this bug if you want. - - - Message in the system log for a printer that is turned off: Nov 11 20:52:20 peter0 hp[6558]: io/hpmud/musb.c 1139: unable to open hp:/usb/hp_LaserJet_1320_series?serial=00CNHW59MGNM Nov 11 20:52:20 peter0 hp[6558]: prnt/backend/hp.c 745: ERROR: open device failed stat=12: hp:/usb/hp_LaserJet_1320_series?serial=00CNHW59MGNM - - - - Jürgen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
