I'll bet you it's not 'around five minutes' it's exactly five minutes. That's the default client time out for connections to the cups server.
We have a nasty work around for this. Near the top of the cupsd.conf and add TIMEOUT 'somebignumber' I have set mine to 5400 which is 90 mins. As this is a school and everything runs in 1 hour chunks that is fine. The downside is you may have a lot of connections hanging around. I would guess that if you are in a company where people work 9-5 that number would have to be very big ( but smaller than the night in seconds so that any dead connections can time out over night ) 90 mins with 400 workstations to one CUPS server doesn't seem to stress the print server particularly and it works here ( YMMV ) We would really like this fixed as well regards M -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1020048 Title: after certain time printing to cups stops working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/df-libreoffice/+bug/1020048/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
