Howdie, fellow Debianites!

From time to time, out of nowhere, my printer refuses to print. When I
check it via 'System/Administration/Printing/right-click menu on
printer icon', I see that the menu item 'Enabled' is not ticked. I tick
it, I get assed for the root password, and then it starts to print.
Some hours, even days, pass peacefully ... and then it refuses to print
again.


As much as I hate this, I could learn to live with it: but what
*really* posix me off is the root password it keeps asking! I've made
all the users members of the lp and lpadmin groups --to no avail.
Everytime this happens, the stubborn machine wants the root password
again! Just to enable a printer (that has been enabled tens of times
anyway)!


What am I doing wrong?

I had a problem like this when queueing a print job before turning on
the printer. I believe it gets put into the disabled state if there is
any sort of error. I fixed this by adding "beh:/0/0/2/" before the
Device URI in Printer Properties. See

Thanx. I hope it'll work for me to ...

(...)

In the line of Tixy's answer, CUPS printers can be configured to perform
an action on events using "Rules" which means that you can define a
policy when the printer encounters any kind of error. Default action is
"stop-printer" but there are also "abort-job" and "retry-job" actions.
