While printing a job to my USB printer, the printer ran out of paper. I put paper back in, but the only way I got the printer going again was to reboot Linux. The printer showed as "Stopped, accepting jobs." If I started it, it simply went back to stopped status. There has to be a better way. Can anyone tell me how I should have brought it back up? -- Satterwhite's Observation #2: In any situation in which theory conflicts with reality, reality wins every time.

Well a *lot* better method would be to stop and restart your CUPs, LPRng, <print-server of your choice> -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.
