samba - Nov 2006 - samba3.0.23c + cups1.1.23 unexpected pause on some printers

Hi,
I use a Debian Sarge with samba 3.0.23c (from testing) and cups 1.1.23.

For unexpected reason, some printers are sometime stopped (pause), and I 
need to start then again.

There is no trace of a "stop" in the log of cups. (and I'm the
only one
who can pause them, anyway).

here is an example :
cat 10.lpr.log | grep imp-cao | grep -E "(stop|start)"
Nov 10 14:15:41 boromir cupsd[20317]: Printer 'imp-cao' started by
''.
Nov 10 14:39:12 boromir cupsd[20317]: Printer 'imp-cao' started by
''.
Nov 10 16:49:55 boromir cupsd[19334]: Printer 'imp-cao' started by
''.

If anyone here has an idea, thanks.

Hello!

Failed jobs may stop the print queue under cups.
This reason can be a filter or backend.

Search the error_log for failed jobs.
cups 1.2.x privides a per-queue "error policy" parameter to control
this
behaviour.

Bye,
Martin

Thank you Martin,
with cups 1.2 and "lpadmin -p imp-cao -o
printer-error-policy=retry-job"
no more problem.
