Package: cupsys Version: 1.1.23-15 Severity: normal Hello,
>From time to time, cups occasionally restarts printing jobs (e. G. when reconfiguring the printer via http://localhost:631 or on crontab runs). However, it restarts them from the beginning, which is extremely annoying if you were on page 115 on a 120-page printout on your inkjet printer. Additionally, as the break seems to occur some midst the command sequences sent to the printer, the printer itsself sometimes hangs immediately, sometimes restarts the new page in the middle of the page it was just printing, occasinally hanging on the end of this page afterwards, and other funny effects. Ideally, the current job should continue running on those occasions. And the breaking and continuing of jobs should get some notion of "page" and "command sequence", so that an ordinary "stop job" (e. G. no emergency stop or lprm) stops at the end of the current page, and lets the user continue at the beginning of the next page. And an emergency stop should always leave the printer in a consistent state, by gracefully aborting the current command sequence, and sending a reset to the printer. But seeing the masses of bug reports filed against cupsys, I'm rather out of hope for this to be fixed. It seems that you debian maintainers gave up, and I'm afraid that I fully understand you...
