Package: cupsys
Version: 1.1.20final+rc1-5
Severity: normal

My mother's USB Deskjet has problems once in a while and the printer
gets reset. However, this causes cupsys to mark the printer as offline,
and to make it online again I have to either go into the web interface
to enable that printer or ssh in and use cupsenable.

Could there be a way for cupsys to keep checking the status of the
printer whenever possible and try to enable it when it's offline?
Currently I am trying to fix this by using a cronjob every 1 minute that
calls 'cupsenable deskjet'.

Next, something minor: how about 'cupsenable -a' to enable all avialable
printers if not already online?

This would greatly enhance the so-called Debian desktop experience.

Dear bug submitter,

This bug was reported against a very old version of cups (older than
in the current stable Debian version "Etch"). About a year ago,
Martin-Eric Racine asked for feedback whether the bug still applied to
the current Debian Etch version, but we did not get any feedback. In
order to not keep around old, hardware-specific, and inactive bugs
around forever, I close this bug now.

Please report back if you still experience the problem with the
current version in Etch; if you can test Lenny/unstable, that would be
highly appreciated, of course. I will reopen this bug then.

Thank you for your report!

Martin
