Public bug reported: Binary package hint: cups
When printing fails for some reason ("backend failed" message), printer is paused, and won't resume automatically, even after a reboot. This is silly because there's no notice about that in the print dialog nor in the print queue: you have to go to System->Administration->Printing, and be very clever to understand how to re-enable the printer. In most cases, the fact that something failed doesn't mean other documents won't print, and generally users will figure the error better by themselves than with a paused printer. This is in Lucid 1.4.3-1ubuntu1.3 (not sure in Maverick). ** Affects: cups (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/692568 Title: Printer shouldn't be paused after backend failed -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
