Hi there,

the documentation of cupsd.conf https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=cupsd.conf mentions
"

*JobRetryLimit */count/
   Specifies the number of retries that are done for jobs. This is
   typically used for fax queues but can also be used with normal print
   queues whose error policy is "retry-job" or "retry-current-job". The
   default is "5"."

However i find it should be mentioned that setting it to "0" lets cups wait for an unlimited amount of time/retries.

As it says starting from line 3145 of https://opensource.apple.com/source/cups/cups-327/cups/scheduler/job.c?txt

if (job->tries > JobRetryLimit &&*JobRetryLimit > 0*)
          {
           /*
        * Too many tries...
        */

        snprintf(buffer, sizeof(buffer),
             "Job aborted after %d unsuccessful attempts.",
             JobRetryLimit);
        job_state = IPP_JOB_ABORTED;
        message   = buffer;

        ippSetString(job->attrs, &job->reasons, 0, "aborted-by-system");
          }
*else*
          {
           /*
        * Try again in N seconds...
        */

        snprintf(buffer, sizeof(buffer),
             "Job held for %d seconds since it could not be sent.",
             JobRetryInterval);

        job->hold_until = time(NULL) + JobRetryInterval;
        job_state       = IPP_JOB_HELD;
        message         = buffer;

        ippSetString(job->attrs, &job->reasons, 0,
                     "resources-are-not-ready");
          }
