hmm. May have found the problem....(in the CUPS documentation - with head hung down)
ErrorPolicy Examples <Printer name> ... ErrorPolicy abort-job </Printer> Description The ErrorPolicy directive defines the policy that is used when a backend is unable to send a print job to the printer. The lpadmin(8) command sets the current error policy: /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p printername -o printer-error-policy=stop-printer The following values are supported: *abort-job - Abort the job and proceed with the next job in the queue *retry-current-job - Retry the current job immediately *retry-job - Retry the job after waiting for N seconds; the cupsd.conf JobRetryInterval directive controls the value of N *stop-printer - Stop the printer and keep the job for future printing; this is the default value This directive must appear inside a Printer or DefaultPrinter section. So it seems that retry-job depends on the JobRetryInterval, which I don't have set I really needed retry-current-job I'll have to try that.
