Hi there,
the documentation of cupsd.conf mentions
"
*JobRetryLimit */count/
Specifies the number of retries that are done for jobs. This is
typically used for fax queues but can also be used with normal print
queues whose error policy is "retry-job" or "retry-current-job". The
default is "5"."
However i find it should be mentioned that setting it to "0" lets cups
wait for an unlimited amount of time/retries.
As it says starting from line 3145 of
https://opensource.apple.com/source/cups/cups-327/cups/scheduler/job.c?txt
if (job->tries > JobRetryLimit &&*JobRetryLimit > 0*)
{
/*
* Too many tries...
*/
snprintf(buffer, sizeof(buffer),
"Job aborted after %d unsuccessful attempts.",
JobRetryLimit);
job_state = IPP_JOB_ABORTED;
message = buffer;
ippSetString(job->attrs, &job->reasons, 0, "aborted-by-system");
}
*else*
{
/*
* Try again in N seconds...
*/
snprintf(buffer, sizeof(buffer),
"Job held for %d seconds since it could not be sent.",
JobRetryInterval);
job->hold_until = time(NULL) + JobRetryInterval;
job_state = IPP_JOB_HELD;
message = buffer;
ippSetString(job->attrs, &job->reasons, 0,
"resources-are-not-ready");
}
Keep up the good work!
Regards
Jens
