If I send a job to a LPD printer (lpd://printServ/port1) and if the printer is off, after a lot of minutes CUPS disable the printer. When I turn on the printer CUPS not re-enabled it and I must run as root /usr/bin/enabled printname or use http://localhost:631/printers
Is possible to avoid the "disable feature" :-( ?
Or I want install a cron job witch every 5 minutes check if the printer is disabled and re-enabled it?
Many thanks.

Put the option -o timeout=10000 in /etc/cups/lpoptions Or in the command lp -o timeout=10000 -d yourprinter My experience is that cups waits for 500 sec before to put the printer off-line
Or I want install a cron job witch every 5 minutes check if the printer is disabled and re-enabled it?
Many thanks.

I have put the option:
Timeout 0
into /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and it seems that cups never put the printers turned off to state "disabled".
Many thanks!
I wanted to try this to, but never found the time. Thanks I just wanted to remind you that if you use the command system-config-printer and change something on whatever printer and then do the apply button, the option timeout disappears from /etc/cups/lpoptions. Because there is no option in the GUI for timeout, I think
Good luck And Alla prossima volta
