Folks,
This morning, our Operations staff found both of our HP8100's
had console errors. As a result, it appears that any jobs submitted
after the errors appeared got dumped off the queue.
I would really like it if, when the printers stopped accepting
jobs (due to paper jams, etc.) that the jobs that were in the queues
*stayed* in the queues until the problem got cleared. Is there any way
to set up the config so that happens? I feel that I must be missing
something pretty basic.
In any case, the two 8100s are pooled; the relevant chunk of our
printcap file is thus:

Many thanks for any assistance.
