Just set error policy = retry-job (rather than stop-printer) in the printer options for your printer. It will then keep retrying until the problem goes away. Obviously there's also a problem which causes the queue to be disabled (e.g. printer switched off or out of paper), which you might need to look at separately. Regards, Roger -- .''`.
