You might want to write a program that will check the printer queues on a regular basis and re-route the job if the printing stops. lpstat will tell you what's going on with the printer (check queue, is it online, etc) I don't know if there's an "official" way to recover a print job (you can research this yourself), but they are stored in /var/spool/cups so you could pull them directly from there if needed. A bit of glue code to link all of that together (check printer status every X minutes, if the next pending job from the last check is still not printing then recover all of the incomplete jobs, cancel the printing on the local printer, re-route the recovered jobs to a different printer) and you'll be all set. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
