H,
I have 5.1. The other day I was printing and the job crashed. I cleaned the /var/spool/cups, but I am still getting the:
network 192.168.2.10 host is busy, will retry in 30sec
It's a dlink print server, that has worked very well for the last 3 years. I have restarted but the print server and the printer.
Any suggestion?
I used to see problems like this with my local (lp0) laser printer if I turned the printer off in the middle of a job (to clear the printer), but the only fix I've found or heard of was to reboot the machine. Nothing else I tried would resync the printer to the computer, and this was a local parallel port.
IIRC, it not only required a reboot, but it hard to be a hard reset (the switch) and not just a system restart because the hardware got out of sync and there's no way to initiate a hard reset to the printer from the software.
Has this changed, by any chance?
