It might make more sense to make a print que to refuse to accept more jobs after it has been filled with some predetermined maximum number of jobs. It might even be able to send a status message back to the user saying "job refused, printer down for maintenace" or some such thing. This could in principle be implemented in the print filter.Hi,1. From lpd.conf: # Purpose: check for nonprintable file # default check_for_nonprintable@ (FLAG off) Is it a good idea to enable this option? What exactly is lprng checking for? 2. Sometimes our printers crash, and the printer queue is filled with jobs. I'd like for jobs to be removed from the queue after a certain perod of time, is this possible? I'm running lprng 3.8.1. Best regards, Johan Bengtsson
Otherwise, I don't know of any direct way of configuring lpd with lpd.conf to have the behavior you want.
