Printing from a pc, via cups, to a local HP printer, and it regularly disables the queue :-( So it's nothing to do with RPM - it's a cups problem. Oddly enough, it doesn't happen with the Xerox printer we've got, but that's connected over the network.
Of course, it's a flaming nuisance, because it needs the root password to re-enable the queue, and my wife (who does most of the printing) doesn't know the password. Cups is "magic" software - it's great when it works and an incomprehensible black box when it doesn't :-( NB - I've always known 9100 as "reverse telnet".
