While this makes sense for a real printer, for the forwarding queue, this means that all subsequent jobs get stuck. Linerva recently noticed that there were over 80 stuck jobs, and repeated ""cupsenable mitprint"" followed by removing the jobs causing an error, were the only way to fix this. This has consequences for cluster machines, as well as the dialups, where a user can cause a denial-of-service by sending bad jobs. Arguably, the on-error policy should be to drop the job, not stop the ""printer"" (forwarding queue)." defect closed high Current Semester printing fixed debathena-cupsys-config 1.17.5
