> We recently, for the first time, started seeing a problem that's been
> discussed in this list: the printer is busy, or out of paper, or off, and
> jobs are removed from the queue because of this. The solution given, which
> we've now implemented, was to set save_on_error in lpd.conf.
>
> Up to a point, this works. The jobs no longer vanish out of the queue.
> Instead, they sit there saying "ERROR: removing job due to errors".
> The only way I've found to actually print them is to identify the data
> file in the spool directory, copy it out, & print that. This isn't
> acceptable. I'm sure there's a way around this, but I can't find it.
> If I do an "lpc release" on them, they sit there in the queue with a rank
> listing "remove" (and I think they're eventually removed, though I'm not
> sure).
lpc redo (lpc release is for held jobs)
