failing print jobs

["E.L. Meijer \(Eric\)" <tgakem@sg10.chem.tue.nl>]

Hi all,

I have a print setup with lpr from the lpr package, and simple print
filters using gs.  If for some reason gs fails, lpr keeps retrying to
print the file anyway, and the result is a loop that doesn't end until
the print job is removed with lprm.  Is there anything that can be done
about this?  Usually retries make no sense, since the problem is that
gs cannot deal with a particular file, and it stays this
way, no matter how many tries are made.

Eric
