I think I read somewhere about a TIMEOUT option where printers a
disabled if they do not respond with the default (300 sec?) timeout.
But I could be wrong and you seem to have not luck with it either.
A script running with a high frequency to enable printers can be put in crond.
lpstat -t | grep disable > ${mytmp}
cat ${mytmp} | grep 'printer' | awk '{print $2}' > ${mytmp}.txt
for disabled_prn in `cat ${mytmp}.txt`
do
debug "Disabled Printer :${disabled_prn}"
/usr/bin/enable ${disabled_prn}
debug "Executing /usr/bin/enable ${disabled_prn} "
email_sub="PRN::Disabled printer ${disabled_prn} was enabled
on `hostname -s`, `date`"
debug "Email SUB :${email_sub}"
email_sysad
done
I have put a cron job in for a patch but I must figure out why this is
happening.
cron basically runs /usr/bin/enable every 3 minutes.
What "signal" does CUPS get to disable the printer? Does it come from the
system lpd somewhere?
How can I track it? Cups error_log give no information.
thanks
