Hello List,

I have centos 4.3 and a printer Xerox4517 attached to it via parallel port.
The problem I have is after some while of inactivity I cannot print, and
when I check in the control center (KDE) I see the printer status is stopped
(accepting jobs).
I just have to start the printer and I can get it back to normal. It is
possible to configure some kind of keep alive or something like that in
order the printer doesn't go to the stopped state?

I will appreciate your comments,

--Ivan.
I recently had a similar (baffling) problem with a USB connected printer on my laptop (running Mandriva 2007). What I pinned it down to was I'd just applied a few updates/patches - somehow an update to cups had caused my problem.

All I did was delete the printer and then reinstall it - works fine now. I've not had time to investigate what the problem was, but seeing as the printer works I doubt if I will.....!
