I have a Epson Printer Wireless

which goes to sleep when not being used and when first printing to it I
get
"Printer probably not Connected "
message and then I find in


So I enable the Queue and voila the job goes

I need admin perms to do this but the queue gets disabled by it's self?

Good, isn't it?

I don't think it's proper to expect ordinary users to have to enter the root password every time their printer goes to sleep...

I may have time to investigate this timeout things this weekend though.

CUPS v 1.4.1

There's your problem right there.

Unfortunately I don't have a solution either.

Sorry, my mistake. It should be version 1.4.4

I wasn't realyl refering to the version number but rather the package - my
own continued attempts to make CUPS work nicely for my wife are continuing
to fail, however I don't currently have the time to work out how to make
lpd work. Maybe this weekend.
