I wonder if CUPS is marking the printer as unavailable when the printer's power management turns it off? Go to the CUPS web admin page (http://localhost:631) and see if the printer is still accepting jobs or check from the cli with "lpstat -a". Also, no need to reboot for something trivial like that, just restart the daemon "sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart". -- Simon Wong <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
