It's a bit surprising why command-line printing should be different that GUI printing, in this regards. I occasionally have the same problem, and had to do the same thing (go into a config control and restart the printer), but not always. Perhaps there's a time period involved where it auto-restarts? My situation is made a bit easier by my printer being permanently on, and it's stand-by mode (that it goes into when left idle) doesn't make the printed appear to be powered off. It's things like power failure recovery, or pulling out network leads, that provokes a problem that needs manual intervention. What's an example command line to start printing that successfully wakes up a sleeping printer? How are you printing in command line? I wonder if you should be looking for another error policy, related to resume or restart printer, rather than the job? How have you made this ErrorPolicy change to the config file? Exactly where did you put it? Exactly what command did you put? There can be a time delay parameter, and it may need to be different. There may be a global option, it may be doable with each printer. You may want to mention whether it makes any difference to having to restart the printer queue if the printer was on, then went to sleep because it was left idle, and it self-switched-off, versus you switched it off yourself. Also, does manually switching on the printer before you attempt to print make any difference? Perhaps switching it on a good minute before. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 4.12.14-300.fc26.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Sep 20 16:28:07 UTC 2017 x86_64 Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
