[CentOS] CentOS Amazon Machine Image?
I am totally new to AWS. There was a posting here ~ a year ago making claims about setting up a CentOS image on AWS. I have created a free AWS account and am looking at the available images. None are named CentOS. There is a Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 and Amazon's own Linux and SUSE, Ubuntu, but I don't find CentOS. This is a learning endeavor. I was thinking to first set up a BIND slave for my domain. Then move on to a http image, then work with MariaDB. All to see what I can do with AWS that is familiar to what I do on my own servers. Any pointers greatly appreciated. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] CUPS job handling
Hi, is it somehow possible to make CUPS automatically redirect jobs, and following jobs, away from printers which can not print them to other printers that can print them until the printers that couldn't print them are again able to print them? Like I have a bunch of label printers which are all the same, and all of which are prone to run out of labels or out of ribbon every now and then. It can take hours or even days before someone can refill a printer. Hence it would be very useful if CUPS could be told something like "if printer A doesn't print, move its current job to printer B and divert all new jobs sent to A to printer B instead until A prints again". What exactly happens when a printer that is member of a class can not print a job that was sent to the class? Will the unprintable job be automatically moved to another member of the same class, or will it only be aborted and never printed? With a class of two printers and one of them running out of labels, /var/log/cups/error_log only holds: ... [Job 174733] Stopping unresponsive job. What does this mean? Has the job been printed or not? Has it been printed after I refilled the printer? ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
